Using Hair dye

Ok. So I love dying my hair usually red in color but i always use a semi-permanent. I only use the one type of dye called Via Natural. It doesn't have any peroxide or alcohol, ammonia. So is it safe if i use it?

I asked my Dr about hair dye and she said that because the information available isn't 100% certain one way or the other I should probably wait to dye my hair until I was at least out of the first trimester, just to be safe. There's no firm evidence to show that dying your hair can harm the baby but there's no firm evidence on the other side either. So, to be safe, I would wait.

permanent dye is not something I personally would use, and i'd also wait until your 2nd tri to do it. My friend is also dying my hair once i'm in 2nd tri- either highlights or lowlights since they are wrapped in foil

Yes, it's fine.

You'll find a lot of Bumpies are scared to cross the street in first tri, though, so odds are everyone else will tell you not to. There is zero research to support that.

My sister is a beautician and says its fine. I will be getting my hair highlighted in the first trimester. Some ladies want to live in bubbles during their pregnancies. Dye your hair, it won't hurt anything.

I asked my doctor about this and she assured me it was perfectly safe but she said the hormones may vary the dye in color some.

Highlights are you best bet. I wouldn't do color all over since the chemical will sit there for awhile.

When I was in my first tri my Dr. told me to wait until I was in 2nd tri and to do highlights b/c it doesn't touch your scalp. But, as you can see, there are different schools of thought, so do what you are comfortable with :)

My doctor said the same.

In the pamphlet they gave about what you can/can't do, it specifically says "it's fine to dye your hair."
