Is it okay to have one’s hair colored when pregnant?
Generally speaking, chemical products and even medications should be avoided during the first trimester of pregnancy, the crucial period when the baby’s organs are formed. Gynecologist don’t recommend hair coloring during this time.
After the first trimester, however, is usually up to the mother whether to have her hair dyed or not. To date, there are no clear studies to prove that chemicals and dyes used in hair color are harmful to the unborn child. Some studies done on animals showed harmful effects on the offspring, but very high dosages were used, unlike in normal hair coloring where the mother is exposed to only minimal amounts of chemicals.
No one knows for sure, though, the precise risks that low-level exposure can give to the mother and baby. The Organization of Teratology Information Services, which provides information on potential reproductive risks says, “Although the data are limited, colouring our hair during pregnancy is probably safe.” That these chemicals have been used for a long time and no research has proven that they harm the baby are enough proof that there is room for hair coloring during pregnancy.

Hi I think coloring hair is not harmful, just make it sure that you use product without amonia, and chemicals that is harmful. but still just to prevent anything that can harm for your baby .

Yes the first trimester (first 12 weeks) of pregnancy is when most birth defects occur so it is important to prevent anything that would cause such defects.
This is made especially difficult because many women are unaware they are pregnant for the first few weeks of their pregnancy.
Yay, I wouldn't risk my unborn baby just to get hair color, my vanity can wait
