A member asked:

I'm not sure if i'm pregnant (i'm on my 4th week after my last period), if yes, is it safe for me to have my hair rebonded? thanks in advance!

My personal bias is:: that if you suspect pregnancy you should avoid any chemicals that are applied to the skin/scalp as the skin is a good vehicle to absorb anything that is applied to it. This also includes inhaling chemicals as they will end up in the blood and circulate to the fetus also.

Wait: I'd recommend that you wait a week and do a pregnancy test to be sure. If you are pregnant, we always weigh the risks and benefits of using anything in pregnancy. I am not certain which chemicals you use in rebonding your hair but there is some risk even if small with the use of any chemical and the benefits of rebonding are limited.
