Hi! I am wondering if i should get my hair balyage like i normally do which includes lightening with bleach and then toning. My doctors say they let people after 1st trimester but there’s always still a possible risk. My friend just told me her doctor told her no to bleaching while pregnant or nursing so I’m conflicted on what to do. (She was high risk though) What are your experiences? Do you avoid or just go for it and your baby was perfectly fine?

Hi! Hairstylist here. Bleach as long as it does not touch the scalp should be fine for pregnancy. Usually balayage doesn’t go full to root on scalp

Yes toner should be fine.. you def don’t want to try and bleach your hair and not tone it. I don’t know of any one who uses that are permanent. They are usually semi permanent

I got my hair done like normal during my pregnancy with bleach and toning and no issues

I would not really worry about any hair color besides bleach on scalp as long as you aren’t allergic or sensitive to it. Very rare instances you can develop different reactions to hair color because of pregnancy so if for some reason you feel any sensitivities I’d just wash it out, but if you haven’t had issues before I wouldn’t worry. I got my hair colored and bleached( not scalp bleach) during both pregnancies no issues.
