dying hair while pregnant

I've asked this question before.. I just like to be safe! Was gonna dye my hair purple for football season.. (go ravens.. even tho they are sucking this season!!) But don't want to if its harmful. I'm not bleaching.. not sure if thats good for the baby or not either.. but I found a hair dye that's ammonia free & peroxide free and just wanted to be sure that was ok & safe to do while pregnant? Only reason I ask again is because my sister keeps telling me I shouldn't.

hair coloring is fine then your pregnant ... the only concern would be the inhalation of fumes through the air and I think a lot of people get that confused with chemicals somehow seeping in through your scalp ... and if that was actually happening not only would hair coloring be considered a risk there should be a lot more paper work before your appointment lol ... but baby will be fine .. especially if your getting it professionally done ... cuz honestly box color is bad for everyone's health and your hair !!!

I colored my hair every 3 months with my first pregnancy and my dr told me it was fine as long as I get amonia free and do it with a fan on me or a window open

I've died my hair twice while being pregnant. My hair dresser told me its fine as long as you're in a well ventilated room. They say not to more because of your hormones it could affect the colour your hair turns out. Shouldn't harm baby.
