Will being pregnant affect the color results when you dye your hair?

IT CAN!

My best friend dyed her hair several times while pregnant with her second child. The only reason she kept doing it was because every time she dyed it, the color didn't change. But once she had the baby, her hair started to show every color she put in it at once. It looked very pretty actually, lol.

Hair Dye and Pregnancy

Yes, it should come out the same. Being pregnant should have no affect on dying your hair. But it isn't recommended to dye your hair while pregnant. It is unknown what the chemicals used can do.

Here is more input and advice:

  • It is possible that the dye may not come out exactly as you think it should. Your hair may act differently because of the pregnancy hormones.

  • There never have been any side effects linked to dying your hair. The dye is not soaking into your scalp, and is not going into your blood stream.

  • Some docs think that it is best to wait after the first trimester to color your hair, but every doc is different. If you are concerned, just get some foil highlights or lowlights, that way, the color never touches your scalp! ;)
