    No. that's not true. However, it's best to wait until after your first trimester and be sure to have it done in a place that's well ventilated.
  • I've had mine done about 3 weeks ago and im 25 weeks. no hair has fallen out either.
  • The user and all related content has been deleted.
  • I haven't heard your hair will fall out but I heard that because of your hormones it could cause a different reaction to your hair then you would expect.

  • Ok thanks :">
  • Maybe try braids or a sew in.
  • U can get a relaxer. It's said not to because of inhaling the chemicals...... I still get one n I have a sew in
  • Try a full sew in great for pregnancy u won't have to do much to it..unless u dnt like weaves
  • Honey I just permed mine yesterday and my hair is fine its thick and healthy... U will be fine
  • I have twist in but my hair is growing so fast so its time to take em out after a month but I could try a sew in or I mite Just go head and get a relaxer
  • I just got a relaxer last week and I still have my hair lol :-) .....I'm 26 weeks btw
  • Oh yeah, a lot of people say that the relaxer won't now take as well bc of the increase in hormones but mine took really well!!
  • Even though I have locs, I had cousins who were preggo and still used relaxers. Ur texture might change, but u can still safely relax ur hair without worry.
  • You can find lots to do with your hair on www.curlynikki.com as opposed to relaxing your hair. My suggestion is to fully educate urself about what's in a relaxed and its health hazards. Just watch chris rocks good hair... scared me straight wn I saw that the ingredients in relaxers can MELT a soda can. Not hating on ppl that get relaxers cuz 3 years ago I was religious with my touch ups. But here I am 3 years an no relaxer and it was the best decsion I ever made! Oh another good site for great natural hair styles/tips is www.themoptopmaven.com
