Dying Hair

KDQ
I will be 11 weeks on Sunday. I have been feeling really crappy lately about how I look and really need to dye my roots. I am going with the closest colour to my natural hair colour I can find in hopes I won't have to dye my hair again.(You can tell I am canadian because we spell colour diffrently lol)  Is it safe? I don't want to do anything to hurt baby but I have read mixed reviews on if it is safe or not. What is everyones opinion?

Using box color while pregnant is not good. It has ammonium in it. I'm a hairstylist& professional color at the salon is good, but NOT box color at home

Its safe as long as you are in a well ventilated area. However it might not take well because of all the hormones in your body

Yeah it's safe as long as you are in a well ventilated area where you wont be inhaling a lot of fumes. I have been dying my hair this whole pregnancy.
