Question

Is hair dyeing during pregnancy safe?

Answer

It is safe to dye your hair before conception, but it’s important to choose the right time. The best time for dyeing is usually three to six months before conception. Hair dyeing and the many toxic substances contained in it are a confirmed fact, but there are no relevant trial reports on whether it can interfere with the fetus. The risk of fetal malformation is highest if toxic substances are touched within the first three months of pregnancy. If you dye your hair during pregnancy, many hair dyes can irritate the skin upon contact, leading to headaches and facial swelling, and even eye damage, making it difficult to open your eyes. In severe cases, it may result in a miscarriage.
