Highlights when pregnant?!
Hi
I have my hair high lighted every 8 weeks and confused as to whether I can continue now I'm pregnant! When googling it I get mixed answers!
I have read that highlights are better than full head dye as the dye does not touch the root of your hair so therefore it does not get into your bloodstream
Can anyone give any advice?
Thanks!

I used to be a hairdresser and hi-lights are safe as no chemicals are touching your scalp un-like a full head of colour where it is all over your head.
The only thing is sometimes the hormones in pregnancy can affect the actual colour which is why we would do a strand test for someone who was pregnant (take a small strand of hair and bleach it and see what the colour result is).
So just talk to your stylist and ask for this to be done but as far as chemicals go like I say as it isn't touching your skin it would be fine.

I think the general advise is to stay away from hair dye in your 1st trimester as a precaution but after that should be fine. I guess it's personal choice too. I have also heard that highlights are better than all over tint xxx
A friend of mine said her hair didn't take the blonde and it went kind of orange when she was pregnant so defo ask for a strand test first!!
