Second trimester is when they say it should be ok. I haven't died mine in a while but I think I'm going to get highlights again as pregnancy has made it super oily and I can't stand it anymore in between washing! Lol

It's safest to wait til the second or third trimester so baby's main development isn't affected. Mostly it's considered fine. I've dyed my hair twice but my pregnancy just pushes the color right out so I've given up no matter how much I hate the way my hair looks lol (I had bleached greenish tinted wheat colored hair the whole first half of my pregnancy and just had to deal with it)

They say with all your hormones early in that stage to not to. As it can come out a different color or hair loss. Its a risk game.  Take your chances if you want it that badly but dont get upset if it dosent work out!

I heard not in the first trimester only because it may not take so I would guess it depends on if you don't mind losing $ if it doesn't take good luck

I guess they say you shouldn't for the first 12 weeks but I have been dying my hair for many years and I dyed mine around 8 weeks not even thinking about it but my first son turned out fine after dying the whole pregnancy so who knows. Just make sure you open some windows for ventilation or do it outside and you should be fine
