Is soap harmful for hair

It is not exactly harmful but washing your hair with strong soaps too often removes all the natural oils from hair. This can dry it out too much and leave it susceptible to damage.

Modern shampoos have additives to prevent this and are generally milder, using conditioners helps replace some of the oils.

No. You should not use harsh hair chemicals at all, or nail polish, or cosmetics, while pregnant.Also, there is a substance called "phthalates" present in a lot of fragranced things and soap and shampoo that can be harmful to a baby, so try to find out if your soap and shampoo and laundry soap and fabric softener contain phthalates or not--and switch to products that don't. It's a pain, but it's worth it.
