Hair colouring

Honestly dont worry about the colour on the scalp thing, it wont hurt the baby at all, there is no proof that of it.

I bleached my hair when i was pregnant, and coloured it god knows how many times and my son is fine. With the fumes....maybe ask if they can put a fan near you or something? And try to sniff something like lavender while your having it done.
I used to do my own in the bathroom and I put the fan on and opened a window. It was horrible but I hate not having my hair look nice lol(my mum is hairdresser)

**Edited for spelling and re wording cos I made no sense lol

My hairdresser is awesome! They put me by the doors to the patio .. and even moved the chair into the private courtyard so that I could be outside.

When it was dryer time .. I sat by the door.

I go to Rodney Wayne (but in Mt Maunganui) and I talked to my hairdresser at length about whether or not to dye my hair while pregnant. I get all over permanent colour done usually about every three months. There isn't really much risk with the smell of chemicals etc. Your sense of smell is usually heightened while pregnant - so the smell may seem stronger to you. In terms of changes with your hormones etc - what can happen - is the colour may not stick like usual to the hair folicle and sometimes your colour can basically fall out after being coloured. This did not happen to me (though both pregnancies) and the colour stuck brilliantly - so was really happy! My hairdresser said - you really don't know who it will happen to, until you try colouring their hair.
