Hey Everyone
Just wondering I saw a topic on dying hair and I am wondering if anyone has any adverse effects when perming their hair, I had my hair braided as I decided thats how I wanted my hair when I go into the labour so was doing a test run, my husband saw it once I had taken it out and said he liked my hair like that (I used to have it when I was younger) so now its triggered the urge to spiral perm my hair ....is it safe??????

I had my hair straightened (well the root part as Ive been straightening for ages) when i was 30ish weeks pregnant. They just made sure the chemical didnt go onto the scalp and sat me by a door (so I didnt have to breathe too many fumes). Oh and my hair didnt fall out ... and my daughter is perfect (well apart from the stubborness she inherited from me .. and her fathers lungs) ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone! From flab to fab in under a year  http://www.femininefitness.co.nz/category/blog - LFs weight blog

Hey, My mum is a hairdresser and she said that they would perm ladies hair once they are past 12 weeks. Its pretty much fine getting your hair done while preggers, i just had mine done this morning, a colour and highlights. As long as you have fresh air etc, its sweet as  ------------- |

Be wary of the fact that due to the extra hormones etc that we acquire during pregnancy can prevent the perm from holding...
I had my hair permed when I was about 15 weeks pregnant and it looked horrible... Curls didn't hold their spiralled look for long at all. Just looked dank and gross. So that's just something to keep in mind too. It doesn't happen to everyone, but just something to keep in mind  -------------  My wee girl is the love and light of my life!
