Research on this subject is limited, but many experts advise mothers-to-be to wait until around the beginning of the second trimester. No doubt, you may be ready to hit the bottle (of hair dye, that is) after about a month \u2014 with all of those pregnancy hormones racing through your body, your hair may be growing faster\u00a0than ever\u00a0and may even have a different texture and color than you\u2019re used to. But\u00a0the first 12 weeks are a time of major development for your baby: Organs are taking shape, muscles and vocal chords are forming and nail beds and hair follicles are starting to develop. Even though you don\u2019t absorb much of the chemicals in hair dye \u2014 and there&#8217;s actually no hard evidence that those chemicals are indeed harmful to your baby \u2014 why take the chance?<\/li><li><strong>Opt for the safest services.<\/strong>\u00a0Once you get the go-ahead from your doctor to book the salon appointment, you may want to reconsider which service you get. Root touch-ups and a root-to-tip color change are considered single-process color; this means dye is applied to the hair and scalp, where the pores in your skin soak up the chemicals, which can enter your bloodstream. For a safer alternative, try techniques where color is painted directly on to the hair shaft \u2014 highlights, lowlights, frosting and streaking, for example. Pulling hair through a cap and then applying color is a less common method but equally as safe, since the cap covers the scalp.<\/li><li><strong>Use gentle color.<\/strong>\u00a0Also important to keep in mind is the type of coloring you use. Ask your stylist about gentler options, like color with an ammonia-free base. If you\u2019re more of the DIY type, consider a semi-permanent color \u2014 it doesn\u2019t contain ammonia and typically doesn&#8217;t contain peroxide (bleach). Plus, it&#8217;s more forgiving than permanent dyes, and fades gradually after a month or so. Vegetable and henna dyes are other less-toxic at-home alternatives, though check the label before buying. Some so-called \u201cnatural\u201d processes contain just as many chemicals as their traditional counterparts.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being pregnant doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t have fabulous hair \u2014 just exercise a little caution and common sense.
