hello, im a hairstylist and this is what i know, during the first trimester its safest to either do foils that way its not on your scalp. if you dont want to do that you can wait until after your first trimester and can do whatever, rarely does enough haircolor seep into your scalp  to cause harm to the baby. also sometimes the hormones in your body can throw the color off a shade or two. hope that helps!
