HAIR DYE ?? is it safe to colour your hair during treatment?

I had the same thought as I dye my hair every month, though I've not started any treatment yet. I looked up a lot of things online & didn't find any conclusive info, all sources seemed to say that as long as you wear gloves (or get someone else to dye your hair), are in a well ventilated space and avoid getting dye on your scalp the minute contact with the dye shouldn't cause any adverse affects. Hope that's of use. X

why don't you use a natural one, better to be as natural as you can. I found one by Daniel Field which has no nasties, and covers my grey

Hi I have had a word with my own hairdresser, and she reckons that most of the professional hair colours could be harmful if left on for a while. However, she said that if you were just having something like highlights done using foil, then the roots tend not to absorb much if any of the colour, and the rest of the hair is dead anyway!!

Unfortunately, people like “The Body Shop” have stopped producing their henna products because the new EU regulations stated that they had to test the dye on animals before continuing to sell it. Obviously for them that was a complete “no no”. However, “Holland & Barrett” do carry a range of safe hair colourants to use during pregnancy. They are a nationwide outfit, so I am sure you would be able to visit one fairly locally.

I also spoke with the “Cosmetic and Perfumery Association (CTPA) and they assure me that hair colourants are one of the most studied consumer products on the market, and are safe for all women, pregnant or not. But if you are still concerned, why don’t you buy a chemical free semi-permanent dye such as “Clairol Nice’n’Easy”, which lasts from 6 to 8 washes. It might only tone down your roots rather than cover it completely, but better than nothing. Kindest regards Diane

Thanks guys, I usually go the hair dressers for highlights. I think to be on the safe side il just hold off ... Roots are trendy now aren't they???
