Questions related to hair dyeing and bleaching among pregnant women are very common and they should be because hair colors and dyes involve a lot of chemicals and artificial ingredients in their composition that could be a potential threat to the developing fetus inside. But how much of those assumptions hold any value of truth to them? Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n

• Hair coloring in itself is not as simple a process as one would assume. There are various types and varieties in hair coloring that not many know of. Hair coloring is often generalized with the coloring that people do at home where a particular hair color is mixed and applied to the hair. Yes, for sure, that is hair coloring too, but that is just one method of it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  • Hair coloring as a process can be broadly classified into 3 types- permanent, semi-permanent, and temporary. The only difference between the 3 is the amount of chemicals used in the products for various coloring and the duration for which the same color sticks. Temporary coloring starts fading out after approximately 4 weeks, semi-permanent coloring starts to give away after almost 7 weeks. Permanent colors, however, last for a long time and give an almost natural look to the hair. There is no approximate window, after which one can say that permanent colors start to fade, but their application and usage is very low as compared to temporary and semi-permanent colors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    ANSWERING THE IMPORTANT QUESTION<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The sole purpose of this article was to answer the question of whether the hair coloring during pregnancy is safe or not and so to address this question, let me just come out and say that hair dyes are perfectly safe for the usage of pregnant women without running any risk of harming the fetus in any way. The amount of chemicals found in temporary and semi-permanent dyes is too less and not toxic at all to reach the fetus simply because the skin of the mother shall absorb a major proportion of the same leaving extremely small proportions behind- proportions which under any circumstances cannot be considered harmful.<\/p>
