Pregnancy is a crucial stage in the life of every woman. It is necessary to make every effort to endure a healthy child, but at the same time you want to always have a beautiful and well-groomed appearance, and a magnificent hairdress and bright hair color largely determine it. Therefore, very often future mothers are wondering whether it is possible to dye hair during pregnancy and whether it will harm the health of the fetus.
Modern research does not allow to unequivocally say about the negative effect of hair dyeing on the development and health of a future child. However, hair dye contains ammonia and other chemicals that can be absorbed into the scalp during staining and spread through the blood vessels throughout the body. In addition, the inhalation of vapors of paint is also far from harmless to the body of a pregnant woman. Therefore, it is most reasonable in the first trimester of pregnancy at the stage of the initial formation and development of the fetus (and in case of acute toxicosis and allergic reactions - for the entire period of pregnancy) to abandon hair dyeing .
But what about the future mothers, given the fact that 9 months earlier the dyed hair grows strong enough and changes color at the base? Here are some useful tips:
1. Even if the smells of colors and do not cause you any reactions, it is still better to dye hair in well-ventilated areas, preferably in a salon equipped with ventilation.
2. The most reasonable decision - in the beginning of pregnancy to dye hair in its natural color and before the birth of the baby does not do this. However, it should be borne in mind that during pregnancy, hormonal changes occur in the body of the woman, which also leads to a change in the structure of the hair. Therefore, the coloring process can go unpredictably as a result of which the curls will acquire either a slightly different shade, different from the desired color, or the hair will only be painted in places.
3. That the color of the growing hair at the roots does not differ much from the color of the strands at the tips, it is best to use the melioration and coloring , in which the hair is not stained from the roots.
4. Cardinal change of hair color (for example, from blonde to brunette or vice versa) is not recommended, since this procedure can cause allergic reactions due to prolonged exposure to paint. It is better to use unstable shade balms for hair and natural colors ( henna , basma ).
5. With severe toxicosis and the impossibility of staining, you can use a variety of hair clips, hairpieces, scarves, bandages, hoops, which divert attention from the uneven hair color.
Recently, a number of Moscow salons have appeared such a rather expensive but effective procedure, the so-called "silk hair dyeing" on the basis of American bezmiamic paint CHI-Ionic, which has no contraindications during pregnancy and lactation. With silk staining, harmful substances do not penetrate the skin, and hair, which is especially important in pregnancy, quickly restore its structure. It should also be noted that this coloration allows you to quickly achieve the desired hair color for you and to hide the overgrown hair at the roots well.
If you listen to the advice of traditional healers or adhere to the Christian canons, then the answer will be unambiguous: you can not dye your hair during pregnancy. We give several reasons.
1. Ancient teachings say that the hair is the vehicle of cosmic energy in our body. Chemical dyes destroy the structure of the hair, as a result, our energy is weakened, which is especially dangerous during pregnancy.
2. According to Christian beliefs, a pregnant woman should not attract attention with bright appearance, paints, cosmetics. Her main task is to take care of the future baby.
In conclusion, we can say that dyeing hair during pregnancy is a rather delicate process and only a woman decides how to do it, but you should remember that the main thing here is not to overdo it.
