SAFE OR NOT SAFE

Yes . I was wanting to top up my roots as my regrow th is quite long now

The big thing accoridng to my dr when I was pregnant is the smell. If you go in the salon and the smell of bleach and chemicals hits you in the face, not safe. Otherwise, perfectly fine!

Everyone does have different opinions though it will come down to what you feel comfortable with but i got mine done at 13 weeks and 37 weeks 🙂

I got mine done when I was pregnant & was fine

I get mine done all the time and the only reason I stopped bleaching it was my hairdresser said it literally wouldn't take because of the hormone change

You’ll be fine 💖 I’d recommend a patch test 24-48 hours prior to having it done just because some people can develop allergies when pregnant if you just pop into the salon and ask them to do one for you before your appointment date they should be happy to help you out 💖 I’ve been a fully qualified hairdresser for 11 years this year and have done the hair of maaaaaany many pregnant and breastfeeding mummas and all have been fine, the colour etc is on your skin for such a small amount of time in the scheme of things that it really isn’t an issue for the baby I’d be worried more so about a skin reaction from yourself 💖 I hope that helps!
P.s I’ve cut back in colouring my hair since being pregnant purely out of laziness but I have still been colouring my hair/ tinting my eyebrows and little bean is measuring perfect with all the right amount of fingers and toes 🥰 do what makes you feel good right now!

Also sorry!! Another option is foils if you reaaaalllllly want to keep colour off the skin! A semi permanent toner is usually used but it’s not a permanent so it won’t penetrate the way a permanent colour would just an option for extra cautious mums 🥰

I've had mine done twice. I go to a small salon that isn't very busy so the chemical smell isn't strong. I'm pretty sure that is the main concern. :)

Avatar

Good ventilation is key I think. Give them the heads up that you're pregnant before you go there and try choose a less busy time. :)

I’ve always done my hair with all 6 pregnancies and never had a problem thank God

Avatar

thank you all so much you lovely mummas 💕 I’m going to contact my hair lady to give her heads up !

I dyed my hair every 4 weeks during both pregnancy just tell the hair dresser and don't get any bleaching done

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
