Its a okay to dye your hair. Just do it in a well ventilated area and if you feel dizzy or lightheaded, stop! Sad thing is being pregnant, my hair doesn't take color that well anymore. My roots are bright red!

I'm a cosmetologist ... It's perfectly fine doesn't effect the baby at all but your hair changes a lot because hormones so it might turn out totally different with tones and saturation but make sure your in a well ventilated area

If your doing it yourself at home you can get box colours in any health shop! :) I used Naturtint, no chemicals whatsoever so its safe :) It also comes out really nice, looks natural :)

Its mainly only because the chemicals u breathe in could potentionally harm the baby

They don't recommend it because the chemicals in hair dye could mess with the baby they say if u absolutely have to dye your hair to avoid in the 3rd trimester cuz that's when most of the brain cells and lungs start/finish developing.

All over dye is not supposed to be food in first trimester but they don't have a lot of evidence in studies to support the effects. Highlights or lowlights are safer cuz they don't really touch your scalp and thus don't get absorbed into body. I did all over color after first trimester with my first and then highlights with my other two and they're fine lol

I get a relaxer every 6 weeks so coloring is fine.

It's not bad for the baby they just recommend that you don't because supposedly the hormones in your body will prevent you from achieving the hair color your supposed to get
