Hair?

Is it ok to bleach my hair? Not my whole head but just a few parts I'm 22 weeks 5 days

30 volume is still pretty strong, but it will lift faster (therefor not take as long of a processing time). bleaching is fine as long as your in a well ventilated area, not in a tiny bathroom, and I'd advise a hair dresser to do it for you vs doing it yourself

Your hair will definitely pull differently well pregnant though so be careful

Powder with 30 vol is okay. Don't go any higher though. saying this because I do hair and 40 vol and lightener (which is same as bleach. Different name.) Will fry you hair. Won't harm your baby though.

Skin is also more sensitive, so while you may not have had a reaction to a dye or bleach before, you may now. If you are going to do it yourself, please ask a professional or do a patch test to make sure you don't suddenly have a reaction. Coz that is the last thing i would want on top of all the other brilliant things pregnancy throws at us lucky mummy's lol. Have fun tho :-)

I'm not sure I would do it myself, your hairdresser is probably the best person to advise as they would have learnt this while doign their training x

It depends cause your hormones can cause the pigmentation of your hair etc to change.    My hairdresser lightened mine while PG but wouldn't bleach it cause she said it probably wouldn't take properly.    Dying your hair is ok though as long as you are in a well ventilated room and do your skin patch test first x
