i think the colour develops alot quicker when your preggers aswell.

you can get it done but as your hair is more sensitive.....you can loose hair, go a funny colour, etc etc... and there is like a 3 percent risk of the fumes causing damage...i wouldnt personally get it done but u can .

But isnt that just the same for women who work around the fumes in the first tri....??
The fumes etc....!!! I always wondered that because your obviously round these fumes all day everyday!!
I bet its no good for ms either lol!!

I must have a nose of steel (or no sense of smell!) as I never smell any fumes when I have my highlights done!

I heard it can make your hair brittle and make it start to snap.
Have you not thought of using a wash in wash out one, these are alot safer.
Oh if you do have your hair done and does go brittle, i found the best thing that worked for making mine normal again was my own natural oils from my own head, id let my hair get as greasy as i could bare it to be, wasent pleasent, but my hair got better.
You can buy this really nice repairing conditioner too, it smells gorgeous, now im rambling, lol.

I was told not to dye my hair due to the chemicals being absorbed into my body, but also because of the hormonal changes, it may not take as well. My hair was dyed black and the front was red. I have not dyed it since I found out I was pregnant and it's growing out now.

Iv had mine constantly highlighted throughout my pregnancy and my hairdresser and MW have both said there is no harm to the baby, unless i am sniffing the chemicals right up my nose!

The only thing i have heard is that peoples hair sometimes doesnt take very well to the colour while pregnant due to hormones. But i my hair is fine so far and so is LO

I got mine done at 10weeks pregnant and was fine. such a small amount is absoribed so unless she paints ur scalp with bleach i wouldn't worry.
