HIya

thanks for your comments on my post!

I was told by my midwife that I should avoid colouring my hair....my grey started to come through big style a few months ago. every chemical passes over the placenta seemingly. I also got a row for using hair removal cream as that has dodgy chemicals so I am now grey and hairy.......gorgeous!

If you go to a hairdressers i would check with them or email your question to the cow and gate team, I would have been lost without them.

Thanks, grey and hairy, lovely, oh well small price to pay!!!

hi
i heard it was ok to dye your hair while pregnant only it might not come out the colour you want it too,
i have had mine done while pregnant and im 28+1 weeks and everything was fine, but if your worried go for further advice

hi i died my hair a week b4 my due date. and everyfing is ok with my baby and me. xxx

hi died my hair bleached it that is, right through my pregnancy and my baby is 7 weeks old and fine now,a hairdessers said it was fine but use a non smelly one no ammonia like swarzcoft from wilcos if your bleachiing,hope that helps.by the way i did feel guilty infact very i had to research it for quite a while before i dare but i was very depressed with the roots etc afterwards it lifted my spirits

hi,i've got a head of half brown half blonde at mo lovely!!!! i heard it was ok then i heard it could go green!! so here i am counting down to when i can have it done and relax with it.it will be a nice treat after the baby,i look at it this way it's a small price to pay if...if it did harm the baby would our hair colour be important?i do agree with nettie it would certainly lift the spirits but knowing my luck it would go green+harm the baby!xxx

Hi, I was told itd okay to use highlights, but not full head colour, as highlights donts touch your roots and get into your blood system...

Thanks for the comments.
i did bleach my hair before on my fourth, before i knew i was pregnant, and it did go green, but now i just dye it natural brown, and thanks for letting me know that i dont have to spend months going grey.
thanks again x

if u are a bit worried u can always try the natural hair dyes from holland and barratt my friend uses them all the time and says their great and then at least its only natural ingredients!
