Your stylist seems a little crazy!</p> <p>To answer your question, no I did not color my hair while pregnant. But that is only because I have virgin hair! I would not have thought twice about doing so if I normally colored my hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-color-your-hair-when-pregnant/page/2#post-2365166 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 16:17:14 +0000 coopsmama 2365166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pwnstar: Bahaha! Your post made me laugh. We started TTC this past month and I did not tell her that little tidbit. I figure even if I do end up pregnant this month I can probably hide it through my next appointment as well. I've been going to her for so long I'd feel so weird trying someone else but I really really hate feeling ugly during pregnancy. So we'll see. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-color-your-hair-when-pregnant/page/2#post-2365162 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 16:13:14 +0000 pwnstar 2365162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: Eff that noise! I would totally take this opportunity to try out another colorist at your salon or to find someone who, you know, is sane and rational and understands how important it is to feel good (and pretty whenever possible!) during pregnancy! And since she's in the habit of doling out advice, maybe you could suggest that she become a barber so that her preshuss conscience can stay clear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-color-your-hair-when-pregnant#post-2365156 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 16:06:52 +0000 coopsmama 2365156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pwnstar: No, she hasn't been pregnant. She is child free by choice. She has said that she if she were to get pregnant (totally hypothetical because they've decided they don't want kids) she would take some extended time off so I'm sure she thinks it's really detrimental. :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-color-your-hair-when-pregnant#post-2365151 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 16:01:35 +0000 pwnstar 2365151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: Has your stylist ever been pregnant? And if so, did she stop working during her pregnancy? If her reason for not coloring your hair is exposing you to chemicals . . . you see where I am going with this. Maybe she is worried that your hair won't respond the same? But even then, I don't see why she wouldn't just give you a heads up and let you make that decision instead of making it for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-color-your-hair-when-pregnant#post-2365141 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 15:51:30 +0000 BlueWolverine 2365141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I get my roots done every six weeks. I had it done the day I got the blood tests results from the doc. My stylist knew before my husband (he was on a plane). Did the same with LO1. No issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-color-your-hair-when-pregnant#post-2365027 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 14:27:20 +0000 DenverMom 2365027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, through both pregnancies. My hair dresses used an ammonia free dye while I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-color-your-hair-when-pregnant#post-2364973 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 14:04:51 +0000 jhd 2364973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had blonde highlights done right before my bfp. I waited until the second tri and did an all over color instead of keeping up with highlights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-color-your-hair-when-pregnant#post-2364964 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 14:01:01 +0000 Missbrie 2364964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I was so anxious during pregnancy I changed a lot of my beauty routines/ products. I have heard highlights are just fine. I was way overboard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-color-your-hair-when-pregnant#post-2364951 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 13:49:07 +0000 MrsF 2364951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes.

Once when I was about 12-14 weeks and again at 32 weeks.<br /> I talked to my midwife about it and she said just make sure it's a well ventilated area, and to get fresh air if I feel weird/dizzy. Talked to my hair stylist and she confirmed it was okay and she'd take good care of me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-color-your-hair-when-pregnant#post-2364658 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 10:25:22 +0000 coopsmama 2364658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CRGmama: That's so fascinating because my stylist refuses to color her clients hair when they are pregnant! 😕 That's why I asked. I think for a future pregnancy I may find someone else to color it because going 9 months again without color depresses me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-color-your-hair-when-pregnant#post-2364642 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 10:18:32 +0000 CRGmama 2364642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, and as a hair stylist, I think it's a little silly/overly paranoid to stop. I usually just tell me clients it's at their discretion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-color-your-hair-when-pregnant#post-2364630 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 10:12:45 +0000 LuLu Mom 2364630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, my doctor laughed at me when I asked and said that was dated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-color-your-hair-when-pregnant#post-2364615 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 10:07:08 +0000 californiadreams 2364615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>first time no, just because i didn't need/want to. This time i am planning to once i start my mat leave as i will actually have time to make an appt! so i will be about 37 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-color-your-hair-when-pregnant#post-2364610 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 10:02:45 +0000 BandDmommy 2364610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-color-your-hair-when-pregnant#post-2364561 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 09:32:19 +0000 Happygal 2364561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes--highlights.
