Hair color?
Aug 30 2006, 3:00 PM EDT | Post edited: Aug 30 2006, 3:00 PM EDT
I regularly color my hair, and have heard conflicting advice on whether this is safe during pregnancy. Are there safe "natural" chemicals that I can use? Does anyone know if this is a real concern? Help! 4  out of 6 found this valuable. Do you?

Like caffeine, opinions on hair dye are strongly conflicting! It is generally agreed that you should not breathe in the chemicals or allow them to touch your scalp. Some experts think that foils of non-permanent dye done in a well-ventilated room are just fine; others suggest not dying at all while pregnant. Henna might be all right as it is all natural, but you should know that it is permanent! Do you find this valuable?
