Is it bad to get highlights when you are pregnant?

Answer 1

According to the National Women's Health Information Center, the answer to whether it is safe to dye hair during pregnancy is not clear as of November 2004. The probability is that only a small amount of hair dye is absorbed into your body. This makes it unlikely that the modest amount of chemicals absorbed by your system would reach your baby. No changes to developing babies were noted in the few animal and human studies that are complete. If you are unsure about whether you should dye your hair during pregnancy, you should share your concerns with your health care professionals.
