Q: can i use henna hair dye during my first trimester? i need to cover gray hairs?

: Natural Henna Hair color is not absorbed like the other hair dyes and should not be able to pass through the placenta. Take care to follow directions completely, and understand that greys will be covered lightly, not completely as with normal hair dyes. Make sure to work in a well ventilated area and wear gloves to avoid skin irritation.
