should you dye your hair while pregnant?

Hey guys so ive had this constant back an forth argument an conversations about dying your hair when your pregnant! Lots of people say yes its fine do it in a ventilated area or try not to get it on your roots, lots of people a  doctors have told me it doesnt soak into your skin as much as people say it does.... many peooke have also told me NO dont do it, it could effect the baby, the hair might not dye correctly cause of the hormones.  What do you think? Your opinion?

I did once and my hair didn't dye right so I wouldn't again. You have to do what you feel is right.

Professional hair is different than store bought hair color. The kind you can buy in the store has high amounts of ammonia and metallic dyes which are the things you should steer clear of. Demi (professional) hair color is the way to go. Personally, I do highlights/lo - lights with a quick toner at the end after the first trimester.

I'm a color specialist and it is Ok to color your hair. . You Can use ammonia free if you are scared about the ammonia but you can use normal color as well.  Be In well ventilated area or you can wear a mask to cover your nose and mouth so you don't smell the fumes. . Especially If you get highlights. I have heard your hair might go funny colors due to hormones but all of the colors I have done on pregnant ladies turned out awesome. . So I guess it just effects people differently. I feel way better about myself when I have my roots done so If you are like me. .Then I say you should.  It's always nice to pamper yourself.  :)
