Hair straightening when pregnant/breastfeeding


Hi ladies,

I straighten my hair once a year, the rebonding process i.e. I just want to know if anyone could answer these questions:

1. Is it okay to get hair straightened when 29 weeks pregnant, as long as the parlour is safe and well-ventilated?

2. My stylist, on the other hand, told me that my hair, which is already changing texture thanks to my hormones, may react a bit differently to the rebonding chemicals, which is why she has asked me to keep off hair straightening till April/May when Bubs is born. I just want to know, can your hair be straightened when you are breastfeeding? Is it safe for the baby and us?

3. If I do do it after Bubs is born, I may have to wait for the customary postpartum hair loss ( ). When does hair get back to normal growth and texture after pregnancy?

Sorry for all these Qs. Would be grateful if you could answer.

Thanks!

- SS

I really don't have much advice, as I never do this (I have the opposite problem - straight hair LOL) but I would think it would be fine after the baby is born.
