Hair dye during the 2WW

14 Replies

Do you think it’s safe to have roots dyed or highlight during the 2WW? Or is it better to avoid? Any advice would be much appreciated

I personally wouldn't. However i have also refused to do all cleaning that requires any type of smelly chemical. Ok that partly might just be to make my husband do it who hasn't had the joy of injecting for weeks and showing his lady bits to multiple people.

See if it's recommended for pregnant women, if not avoid it.

Thank you 😊 and totally understand the frustration with the husband! It’s so unfair....

Avoid dye on the root, go for highlights. It'd be better to avoid, but feeling well with yourself helps!

I did highlights 3 times during my pregnancy, and still do every 3 months or so while breastfeeding.

Good luck!

Ok cool yeah I might just go for highlights. Thanks for your reply xx

Hi lights are safe, im a hairdresser. Stay away from anything on the roots in early pregnancy x

in reply to Purplewitch18

I might just go for a haircut and defer any colour to be safe...

So I had my FET this morning and I was given a page by my clinic about baths etc and it says NO to hair until after 13 weeks . As strong chemicals are used and by week 13 all the baby’s organs have been formed .

Hope that helps 😘

I asked my nurses about this and they laughed and said it’s absolutely fine although I’ve always avoided it anyway just to be in the safe side xx

hi I always dye my hair all the times when I am pregnant because my hair colour fades while I am pregnant and my boyfriend likes me dyeing my hair because I make him happy
