Apparantly the saying if your pregnant you cannot dye your hair is a myth according to my nearest hairdressers

Anyone know any better? Layla maybe?

I heard not to dye my hair when pregnant because of the fumes given off from the hair dye itself and sometimes on some women the dye doesnt work as it usually does...

had stopped dying my hair before i got pregnant anyways so didnt have to come across the idea of doing it..

She said it matters in the final weeks of your pregnancy!

I don't usually dye my hair b ut I'm going grey

Laylas reply (borrowed) from another site



[the only one they advise you not to have is bleach, but you can have it in foils.

any other dye is ok, just be aware that it will take one shade darker coz of the preg hormones. ]



I have the same reason for dying mine wobbles

Cool thanks Charm (can't get use to your new name lol)

Think I'm gonna wack my dye in this evening then!! How old are you?

My Mum started going grey at 18

my dr said i could dye my hair as long as i was in a well ventilated area i'm a dyeaholic have been since i was about 12 lol

I dyed my hair about 4 times when pregnant () and Nathan is a healthy baby.

I didnt do it in the 1st three months though

I've had a few grey hairs since around 18. Not a lot but they would be noticeable if I didn't dye

As far as ive read theres nothing proven to say dying hair is harmful during pregnancy. Its just personal preference really.
You could always use the cap or have foils, they dont go right to the root of the hair.
