Ive dyed my hair every 4wks with both babies...no issues. Just make sure ur in a well ventilated room. As for hair removal creams I'd avoid those, u may find urself more sensitive to topicals and those could end up burning u. Not sure if theyre preg-safe either. Wax or shave is ur best bet.
Congrats! Wasnt long ago u thought u'd never get preg...enjoy, Mama!! xo

It's best to wait til the 2nd trimester to color your hair. It hasn't really been proven or disproven that the chemicals can affect the baby so I went with better safe than sorry. My SIL is a salon owner and she said wait til the 2nd trimester as well and even then try to stick to semi or demi permanent dye or just highlights as they will limit your exposure to chemicals. I would definitely say no way to hair removal creams and opt to get waxed instead. Trust me when I say as you get farther into your pregnancy or hit morning sickness stage you probably won't have the energy or motivation to care lol. Some days I couldn't get through a shower without wanting a nap afterwards and I don't think I shaved my legs for a good 5 weeks when I was feeling the worst!

I dyed my hair with first two pregnancies... But I'm more scared now! Weird isn't it!
I will ask my gp but I wanted experienced ladies answers too. Thankyou x

I'd avoid until second trimester I'm currently 20 weeks Preg on baby no 5 and I'm a hairdresser and never had a problem with dying my hair with my other pregs but ive had a few issues with this pregnancy so out of fear I'm not gonna dye it for my whole pregnancy

plus let me just ad I'm a color expert and when I asked my gp she said I could use lighter colors not dark colors when I asked why she said the lighter ones have less chemical.this is untrue as the all have the same ingredients in them so I think they honestly don't know.but if u think about it its chemicals absorbing into u scalp so it s prob not great for u.anyway its a personal choice..as I said I dyed it on my first 4 but not this time..
