Its safe aslong as u wait till your second trimester and I sit outside and have my sister do it for me I was told by my doctor to avoid any shades of blond because it has ammonia in it but all other colors are safe.  I'm 23 weeks and I've dyed my hair 4 or 5 Times

Yep it's perfectly safe. I'm 18.5 weeks just had my hair done. Dr said it's safe as long as there's air around to get rid of the smell etc not closed up room. Bleach hair is definitely a no no from what I was told

my doctor recommended a hair dye that is plant based, I have 2 hairstylists in my fam their salons did not carry this product but she did say they personally carried color chromatics from redken which is oil based... no ammonia, so it is a good option if you're concerned :)

I dyed my hair repeatedly when i was pregnant with my first son, and have done a handful of times this pregnancy, as long the room or area is well ventilated your fine.

It's fine. I got a booklet from my doctor office and it said its ok.  There aren't enough chemicals in it to do any harm.  Just be in a well ventilated area.  I dye my hair.  I just dyed it two days ago.

There are harmful chemicals that's why. Not like we said not to do it, plus her doctor gave her the okay.

The most I've done was highlights, only cause I've read an so you shouldnt dye your whole head, something to do with the chemicals in the hair dye, plus youre breathing in all those fumes. Bur I guess some moms do it, but if your doctor gave you the okay then I don't see why not.
