Can u color your hair at 17 wks pregnant r will it affect baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hair Dyes: The limited evidence that's available suggests that it's probably safe to dye your hair during pregnancy. If truly concerned, wait until at least the second trimester, or try streaks, frosting, or highlights, which really do not even affect the scalp, as any issues would come from skin absorption and not the hair follicle. Of course if any concern, you can always wait until birth. Best wishes.
