dying.your.hair!?

[Mommysboys2]

I want to get my hair done....I have been in a funk and I just wanted to take an afternoon to treat myself.....can I bleach my hair? I know I can dye it but I didn't know if bleaching my hair was any different.....

Highlights are totally ok! My doctor and 3 other doctors ice asked all said it's fine. The stuff that's bad for you is anything that sits directly in your scalp. Do it, trust me, you'll feel better and much more alive! Happy highlighting!!

Thank you ladies...I thought it would be ok I just needed to be reassured!

I am a hair stylist.  Color or bleach doesn't soak into your blood stream.   A long time ago color and lightners used to be a lot more harsh than today.  I can't speak for over the counter color but almost all professional color products are made with much gentler ingredients and much lower ammonia or no ammonia. Most have a very mild smell. Saying that though, some times hormonal changes can cause a lightner(bleach) to have unpredictable results. Like maybe staying a bit brassier than you'd like.  But I personally have never encountered that problem.   In my opinion I think it safe to do anything to your hair except keratin smoothing treatments. They do make formaldehyde free formulas now, I still wouldn't do it because it does let off a lot of steam and vapors during the process and they just really haven't been around long enough to know if they are damaging.  These are all my oppinons, but I touch, smell, mix "bleach" all day and my two other children are perfect :)

No problem with that at all.... I asked my doctor she said there is no proof... I have been doing my hair all pregnancy I am 33wks now

I agree I wouldn't bleach right now.  There are some milder coloring systems out there, maybe even get a free consultation at a salon or at least ask your doc.

I wouldn't do bleaching while pregnant
