Kathy asked the question today since she's having a haircut tonight and she wanted to color her hair too. According to her own words,
"my grey hair is sticking out..
but i dun like my color now..."
Well, just today we got the weekly newsletter from BabyCenter and it has the exact quick tip on the topic. So according to the experts:
Ann Linden, certified nurse-midwife
The limited evidence that's available suggests that it's probably safe to dye your hair during pregnancy. The Organization of Teratology Information Services (OTIS), which provides information on potential reproductive risks, says that animal studies are reassuring and that there are no reports of hair dye causing changes in human pregnancies, despite the fact that many women have colored their hair during pregnancy. What's more, OTIS points out that very little of the chemicals in hair dye are actually absorbed into your system.
But then if we're still concerned, she can color her hair until the second trimester, when her developing baby is less vulnerable.

i colored my hair (twice) before knowing i was pregnant with aesha.
why i had to do it twice was because the first time wasn't good. the color didn't stay. i didn't know why. the stylist (u know who kathy) didn't know why. later on when i told him i was actually pregnant then, he said that's why the color didn't stay cos of the pregnancy hormone.
anyways, i think it's safe to go for coloring, but whether the color would take effects is another thing, if wat he said was true.
oh i thought u were doing the perm? anyway.. i think i will give it a try until the second trimester!
OH... yes, perm... hahaha... not the color.
see, pregnancy makes u lose memory...
