Hairdying and pregnancy?

[LilOleMe]

What are your thoughts on getting highlights during the 1st tri?

As far as I understand it, you just don't want hair dye in your bloodstream. So don't do that and you should be fine.

Would you get hair dye in your bloodstream by ingesting it? IV injection?

I always thought maybe if you had open head wounds?

If your head has open wounds you have bigger problems.

Nuh uh! If you are getting your hair dyed while you have open head wounds, then you have bigger problems.

Me too. I kept wondering why anyone would ask that. Unless she has hair on her belly that she needs to dry and style?

I thought that since the dye isn't slathered all over your scalp when you do highlights as opposed to regular hair dye that it's either safe or the least risky option. Or that's what I told myself to feel better because I did highlights (but no glaze or all over color) while pregnant. You absorb stuff through your skin even without open head wounds.

I think I waited until I was 13 weeks and then did my usual at-home box dye.
And then I did it again a couple times later on.

My baby has all his fingers and toes.
