I just recently dyed my black yesturday infact and me and babys great no problems,I've also dyed it twice before in this pregnancy and no issues just make sure you in a well ventilated area so you arnt breathing in the fumes. Think the issue with hair dye in pregnancy is your hormones as it can make your hair a different colour to the dye or sometimes bad condition than if you wernt pregnant, I'm 23 weeks with first baby:-)

You can order henna hair dye from lush its all natural and works really good I dyed my hair red about two years ago and my friends brown about 7 months ago and it worked better than all other hair dyes I've ever tried even salon. Plus it's all natural so it's a lot better for your hair.

I dyed my hair at 7 weeks, again at 18 weeks and about to again at 26 weeks.
I try to find an ammonia free dye - and I do it in an extremely ventilated area!
So far my little Cupcake is just dandy! Doctors will just warm you to avoid harsh chemicals, and to not let it sit on the skin long.
Happy dyeing. Haha.

My obgyn told me it was safe to dye my hair and I have to bleach my roots lol. but i only dye it when it gets to an inch or more outgrown. Just stay in a well ventilated room. If you are still worried about breathing the fumes buy a mask and you'll be fine!

Its just an old wives tale... Like they said hair dressers don't quit their jobs. Just don't change the color everyday. You should be fine. You know us mommas have to keep up our looks too!!! Good luck! :)

All of my doctors said it was fine to dye your hair every once in a while. As long as I wasn't doing it everyday lol. But when hairdressers get pregnant they don't quit work. So I'm sure its fine. I just do my roots like once a month I wouldn't bleach it or do anything crazy though

The fumes can be harmful so if you do I suggest do it outside and avoid smelling the fumes if possible.
