Question

I really want to dye my hair. I've heard it's bad for your baby but I've also heard it isn't.
I am on my 33 weeks. Can you all help me ladies...
What do you all think? Should I dye it or not?

Anything that touches the skin and absorbs is the same as eating it and can pass through the placenta to baby.

I do mine at home and after I get the dye in I set on the porch in fresh air and a friend of mine,is a stylist and she worked up until she had the baby an just had a beautiful healthy baby girl. Just make sure u have a lot of ventilation and u should be ok

Mamita2be is right. There aren't any studies on it, so the call is on you. I've dyed my hair on my last 2 pregnancies since like 6 weeks and my children are fine!

I had the same worries. The problem is that there are no studies about this topic, so actually nobody knows for sure whether it affects the foetus or not. I decided not to dye them as long as possible, but finally at week 23 I just had to. I think the further you are the lesser risk.

Do it by an open window. Also be aware hormones cab change the way the dye takes.
