A member asked:

Wondering if it's ok to dye your hair when you are pregnant?

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Unsure: There is no evidence that hair coloring during pregnancy is harmful. However, there are no studies that show it is safe. Most recommendations are to wait until after the first trimester for having your hair dyed.
