Hair color during pregnancy?

The joy is enormous when the gynaecologist announces the message that something small is on its way. But especially during pregnancy there is a lot to consider. Especially in the first third of pregnancy the risk is high and many women are very insecure during this time. Many lifestyle habits become a big question mark. What can I eat and drink? What activities should I avoid? Can I still dye my hair? And and and...

Through hair dyeing, ingredients can penetrate into the body via the scalp, many of these substances are unfortunately still unexplored with regard to pregnancy. However, maximum values apply in Germany in order not to harm health during the dyeing process. For this reason, German hair dyeing products are assumed to be harmless in connection with pregnancy. Especially in the first third of your pregnancy, we recommend that you avoid chemical processes in order to be on the safe side. Especially bleaching, hair colours and permanent waves contain chemical substances that can penetrate into the body via the scalp.

However, you do not have to do without a beautiful, shiny hair colour during pregnancy. It is best to use gentle semi-permanent-colors or color shampoos. These do not penetrate into the hair structure or the scalp, but still provide a beautiful, shiny and rich color result. Or you can let the hairdresser you trust make highlights that don't start at the roots.

Natural hair colours are also great alternatives and conjure up a beautiful result. During pregnancy, a woman's hormones change significantly. This can affect the result of the usual hair color. It is best to consult your hairdresser and fall back on high-quality products. As there are wonderful alternatives to hair colours, bleaching and permanent waves, you should not take any unnecessary risks and rather avoid these chemical processes during pregnancy. Gentle shades in particular provide brilliant shine and are harmless to health.
