Pregnancy:Hair Coloring And Chemistry

Pregnancy: hair coloring and chemistry

This question is relevant for many pregnant women. So, let's figure out what is possible now and under what conditions.

Although a belly bump is the most noticeable sign of pregnancy, it is not the only sign. There are a lot of changes: from the palms, which sometimes turn pink, to the mouth (the gums may bleed).

Hair is no exception and looks better (for example, more shiny) or worse (when it loses elasticity and becomes very soft).

In a normal situation, perming is one of the easiest ways to improve your hairstyle, but this should not be done during pregnancy.

1. Firstly, under the influence of hormones, the hair begins to react in an unexpected way: the curl may not work at all, or instead of smooth waves, a curled mop will appear, like a wire.

2. Secondly, the chemical solutions used are absorbed by the scalp and through it are absorbed into the blood vessels, which can pose a danger to the development of the fetus.

However, studies have not confirmed a direct connection between these chemicals and fetal development defects.

It is now generally accepted that perming should wait until after the baby is born.

The same can be said about hair coloring.

However, anything happens in life. If hair coloring now, during pregnancy, is extremely necessary due to circumstances:

For example, before pregnancy you dyed your dark hair one of the shades of Blonde, that is, a very light tone. Now you are starting to have black roots, and you really need to look good at work, then try to use paints without ammonia and peroxide.

Such dyes are called washable. They come in both imported and domestic production and are cheaper than permanent paints. They also often contain plant-derived substances.

And although such dyes are washed off quite quickly, a neat appearance at the right time with less risk to the fetus is guaranteed.
