Is it safe to dye hair when pregnant?

Hi, I'm going grey at the age of 30! 😬 I've read mixed things about using hair dye does anyone know if its safe or not? I'm 17 weeks tomorrow.

On the ‘is it normal’ podcast, the obstetrician says it is safe to get your hair dyes during pregnancy, but advises its best to either go to a salon or have someone else do it for you so you’re not prone to breathing the fumes of the hair dye.

Yes it’s fine. They used to think peroxide was damaging but this has since become wrong.

Its safe but Non scalp application is always best. So like highlights are fine and try to avoid all over colour if you can.
Only because you can sometimes develop random allergies to things when pregnant.

But if doing it at home then make sure you are in a well ventilated area.

It’s all good to have your hair dyed at any stage! The smell might make you feel queasy if your currently going through the string sense of smell but otherwise safe! 🫶
