Chemical Hair treatment?
Is it okay to go for chemical hair treatments when you are trying to conceive? I am wanting to perm my hair or may be color my hair but at the same time I don't want to take chances (in case I get PG). Have any of you experienced or heard from any doc that asks you to avoid hair treatments?
I've heard to avoid during 1st trimester, so if you think you could be pregnant at your hair appt., don't. Highlighting may be better than full color 'cause doesn't completely penetrate the scalp.
On the other hand, there are almost no reports that say color penetrating the scalp can affect the fetus. You should avoid the fumes though and do with lots of ventilation.
If you are pregnant, perm might not work though...your hormones could affect the results.
