A member asked:
Day 1 of my period. in my culture it's believed that it's bad to dye ur hair while on your period and that it can be fatal. is this medically true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Women dye their hair all the time at all times during their cycle. Definitely not true. Some women try to avoid dying their hair in the first trimester but there's limited data to show that this matters.
