Is it safe to color during pregnancy?

As a colorist I will color hair during pregnancy. There has been no evidence of any danger from coloring hair during this time. I highly suggest that you have your doctor explain 'why' if they suggest you don't. One of New York's top OBGYN's delivered my son as well as one of my client's two children. We never asked if it was safe and she never mentioned it. My client asked when she became pregnant with her first child and was told not to but no reason was given. During her second pregnancy they again were discussing haircolor and the doctor asked about her colorist because she said she was always looking for a good colorist. My client finally asked the doctor what she did when she had her two children and the doctor said, "Well, I am very short and don't like people to see my roots, so I colored my hair". If it is going to bother you to color, I suggest you don't but if it is going to bother you more to have roots, then I suggest coloring.
