Thanks! I am 14 weeks so I'm in my second trimester. But will probably call my doctor to get that confirmation just in case!:)

I am a trained stylist and the only risk involved with colouring your hair when pregnant is that the colour may not come out how you imagined. This generally happens when lightening hair. It is best towait until after you are out of the ffirst trimester. I coloured my hair at 13 or 14 weeks. I am now 21+4 and will probably colour my hair in the next week or two.
It is best not to lighten your hair all over as your skin can be more sensitive and the bleach products may burn your scalp, which is dangerous and painful for you, but won't hurt your baby. If you are lightening then have foil highlights.

There is no way it will reach the baby if it was unsafe it would say so on the box but you could call your doctor and ask!!

No it is not safe to dye your hair when your pregnant. The dye the gets in your hair absorbs into your skin and the chemicals can seriously affect the baby. I would just wait until after your pregnancy is over it will give you something to look forward to a mommy make over
