Question about hair color and pregnancy?

I heard that natural instincts is ok for pregnant women because it's not permanent therfore it does not have those harsh chemicals. Anyway I decided to use it last night and it has damaged my hair. I regret doing it now cause my hair looks so dried and fried. What can I do to help my hair look a little better until this stuff washes out. Plus now I am worried because if it made my hair look that bad does that mean there is stuff in it that could harm the baby?? I don't mean to sound dumb but I have heard that coloring is a bad idea when you are pregnant.

Question about hair color and pregnancy?

My midwife told me both times not to use hair color while I was pregnant and my hair dresser refused to even straighten my hair while pregnant. If you are truly concerned you should speak w/your OB/Midwife about it and see what he/she has to say.

Here are few suggestion about what to do with your hair. Try Neutrogena Triple Moisture Daily Deep Conditioner you can get it for about $5.00, its cheap and affordable and works good but you have to use it every day to keep the results. Or try Nexxus Humectress you can get it for about $15.00 and you can use it for a deep conditioning or a leave in treatment. Either can be purchased at Walmart, Target, etc. I use the Neutrogena as a daily conditioner and the Nexxus as a weekly treatment.

Good Luck w/your hair and your btb!!

JUST DON'T PUT BLEACH RIGHT ON YOUR SCALP- IF YOU USUALLY LIGHTEN YOUR HAIR. SOMETIMES THE CHEMICALS MAKE YOU SICK (THE SMELL) BUT HAVE A TALK WITH YOUR OBGYN AND THEN DECIDE FOR YOURSELF. MY HAIRDRESSER HAS HAD 2 KIDS AND JUST HAS THE RULE ABOUT NO BLEACH DIRECTLY NEAR THE SCALP.... AND HER KIDS (ONE IS 7 AND ONE IS 9 MONTHS) ARE HEALTHY AS CAN BE!

My friend did her hair the whole time she was pregnant but had to do it at home b/c the hair dresser wouldn't b.c of the smell. her Dr. had told her it was ok though.

I had my hair highlighted twice in a salon while I was pregnant. I know you have heard a lot about the dangers, but I think that's an overreaction, I suggest you buy a VO5 hot oil treatment to help condition your burnt hair, but don't worry about it's effects on your fetus.
