Hair Color During Pregnancy

Can you color your hair when pregnant? Is there a way to keep coloring safe?

You must make a few adjustments for your beauty regimen during pregnancy. In general, traditional hair colors are a no-no for pregnant women.

It is true that chemical dyes haven’t been proven risky. On the other hand, they haven’t been proven safe either.

Luckily, there have been so many improvements in non-toxic colors in recent times. There are colors without so many chemicals.

Ask your colorist to switch to an ammonia-free color that’s low in PPD.

It is a good idea to choose a European brand, because the European Union regulates cosmetics and enforces strict chemical limits.

Keep in mind that there are no 100% chemical-free hair colors. Even the so-called “eco” hair color lines use small amounts of chemical.

To be on the safe side, try highlights or lowlights. They are safer because the color doesn’t come into contact with your scalp where it can be absorbed into your bloodstream.

Many obstetricians say that it is safe to color hair starting in the second or third trimester

You can also take into consideration a completely chemical-free, vegetable-based dye.
The color is less intense and fades faster, but you will have peace of mind.

At the end, check with your doctor on all of this.
