Beauty in a special period: is it dangerous to dye your hair during pregnancy

Hormonal changes in the body during pregnancy affect the hair. In some women during this period, the hair becomes stronger and shinier, while in other pregnant women it turns out to be brittle, thin and dull. If you are among those lucky ones whose hair has changed for the better during pregnancy, rejoice and enjoy, because, as a rule, within six months after giving birth, women complain about hair loss that they did not have time to do before. If the hairstyle does not please you, try to change it, because pregnancy is not a reason to refuse to be bright and enjoy life. About what hair procedures are allowed during pregnancy and will not harm the unborn baby - says the expert Estet-portal.com.

HAIR COLORING DURING PREGNANCY: IS IT ALLOWED OR PROHIBITED?

Experts differ on the subject of hair dyes or perms and whether they can be used during pregnancy. While some health professionals are very wary of hair dye and recommend avoiding hair dye during pregnancy, others say that there is no risk to the fetus from it in many studies.

Only in the first trimester of pregnancy, the use of harsh hair products (of any kind) should be avoided - just in case. Many years ago, hair dyes contained potentially hazardous substances such as formaldehyde. Today, however, this is not the case. Tar is the only ingredient you should avoid because, according to some experts, it carries the risk of developing cancer. You should be careful in principle when using any herbal ingredients and always be aware of their potential activity and insecurity. It is possible that your hair during pregnancy will be more susceptible to dyes due to the activity of hormones, so the result of dyeing may be different and different from what you expected.

PERM IN PREGNANCY: YES OR NO?

The permanent you made is not a problem for your child. To date, there is no reliable information that the chemicals contained in permanent products penetrate the scalp and can harm the fetus. However, you should be aware that your hair reacts differently to perms during pregnancy. Sometimes the hair is not taken at all, and sometimes the hair can turn out to be more frizzy than usual

In addition, although there is no information about the dangers of a perm for an unborn child, doctors advise you to abandon the perm in the first trimester of pregnancy, when your child’s organs and tissues are being laid.

I hope that my advice will be useful to you, because I have more than 31 years of experience in hairdressing. Yes, there are a lot of studies that confirm that hair coloring and perm products do not enter the bloodstream and do not affect the future of the baby. But before the procedure, you should definitely consult with your hairdresser about what products he will use and whether they are of sufficient quality.

In addition, it is worth remembering that hair is very sensitive to hormonal fluctuations in the body - whether during puberty or menopause, and even more so during pregnancy. Check with your hairdresser about how your hair looks, whether it grows or falls out a lot, what quality it is, and whether it happens that the result of a perm will last only a couple of days. Perhaps it would be worthwhile in this case to spend your money not on hair, but on something useful for the unborn child.

Instead of perming or dyeing your hair, you can experiment with the length of the hair and the shape of the haircut, dye individual strands. You can always find a solution that will please you. I wish you a successful choice, the birth of a healthy and beautiful child.
