Coloring your hair during pregnancy

The short answer: many women color their hair during pregnancy, and techniques that do not touch the scalp, like balayage and highlights, are widely considered gentler, because the color stays away from the root. Many women avoid the first trimester for peace of mind. But you make the decision together with your doctor.

Why balayage and highlights are preferred

In a full color, the product touches the scalp. In balayage and highlights, the color is painted or foiled away from the root, so contact with the skin is minimal. That is why many women and colorists choose these techniques during pregnancy.

Practical advice

• Talk to your doctor first; they know your specific case.
• Many women avoid the first trimester and start later.
• Choose techniques that do not touch the scalp.
• Make sure the space is well ventilated during the work.
• Do a patch test if your skin has become more sensitive, as often happens in pregnancy.

If you prefer to wait

There is nothing wrong with waiting. In the meantime, a good cut and gentle care keep your hair looking fresh without color. Many women come back to coloring after the birth, once the postpartum shedding has settled.
