Pregnant women are often very limited in their use of beauty products, even in the aspect of hair dye. The truth is finding the right pregnancy-safe hair dye is not that hard! Here are some of our top picks.
Some women may wonder, is it okay to dye one’s hair during pregnancy? Is it harmful to the baby’s health?
Truth be told, pregnant women are not encouraged to apply any products that contain chemicals, let alone hair dye. This is due to how most products contain harmful chemicals that seep through the skin and can harm the fetus.
Fortunately, there are now organic hair dye products designed to be safe for pregnant women’s usage, not containing harmful chemicals and processed using much more natural ingredients. However, it is highly recommended to consult a doctor before colouring your hair.
Choosing Safe Hair Dye During Pregnancy
When buying hair colouring products, research and read the label before purchasing is extremely important, so here are some things to note:
- Make sure the contents of the product are natural and free of harmful substances, including alcohol, ammonia etc.
- Make sure the ingredients used are natural.
- Seek the opinion of a physician before testing out any new products.
