Hair dye

i was at the doctors and I was watching a talk show and I was about dying my hair, they said, Although fairly limited, most research indicates the chemicals found in both semi-permanent and permanent dyes are not highly toxic and are safe to use during pregnancy. In addition, only small amounts of hair dye may be absorbed by the skin, leaving little that would be able to reach the fetus. What do you all think?

I've died my hair all three of my pregnancies, my babies are healthy as can be. If it was that unsafe then hairstylists wouldn't be able to work while pregnant. They just tell you to dye your hair in a well ventilated area.
