I have been wondering the same thing and plan to ask my doctor at my next appt. I read in my pregnancy book that after the first trimester as long as the area is ventilated, but I want to be safe. Never had to worry about it with my other 3 kiddos...but at 30 with dark hair I have a ton of gray:-(
I'm a hairdresser its safe to dye your hair while pregnant. You can even bleach it if you can stand the smell. Id try and find somewhere that uses paul mitchell color its very mild and has a mild odor. With the bleach its more about how your hair will react to it than anything else. If I can work with it all day you can be around it for an hour or 2 and be fine. I'm 22 weeks along and still working.
@camommy I'm also a hairdresser and worked with it till 3 days before I gave birth.. no problems at all.. getting highlights is definitely not a problem since they go in foils and don't touch the scalp but hair color on scalp is not harmful either.. my Dr said no problem as long as the smell didn't bother me.. and let me tell you ladies I wanted for perm smells to make me sick so I wouldn't have to do them lol and they didn't!
Drs told me wait till after first trimester and ive done its twice will do its again tomorrow just my experience so far darker was better but either way needed extra times and dye for my prego hair lighter just washed and faded quickly
