is it safe to get your hair bleached in pregnancy?

Wait until your second trimester If you want to be cautious (and rest easier at night), wait until this critical period is over before reaching for the hair dye. “Many doctors recommend holding off on hair color until week 13 of your pregnancy, just to be safe,” My hairdresser has said 13 weeks, so has my eyelash and brow technician

Everyone I’ve asked has said it’s perfectly safe, including my consultant (I’m high risk under consultant care). I’ve had my hair bleached twice, once at 5 weeks when I didn’t know I was pregnant and again this week when I was 11+5. All the sources I’ve read online suggest it’s perfectly safe too.

Not sure how you bleach your hair but I have been told to go for highlights rather than a scalp bleach, try to avoid the dye touching your roots if possible, but otherwise it’s fine

Hairdresser here - make sure you’ve had a patch test just Incase a toner is used. Bleach is an irritant, so you can’t patch test for that (everyone would react!) I’m 11+4 and around bleach/tint all day - you’ll be absolutely fine 🥰

I’ve had my hair done, I’ve had my nails and I’ve had my Lashes done also and I’m 13 weeks tomorrow 😊 I’ve had x4 Scans and Baby is absolutely fine x

I’m 13 weeks and having my hair dyed this week. I didn’t wait till this time on purpose, j just need it dyed now! The book Expecting Better which discusses the statistical significance of pregnancy recommendations really put my mind at ease about hair dying, she goes through the studies and says it’s totally fine.

I checked this with my doctor too and they said it was absolutely fine so had my hair bleached when I was about 7 weeks I think
