Throughout your first being pregnant, you could be confronted with seemingly countless sudden surprises.
Your pores and skin would possibly get itchier. Each day heartburn will in all probability change into customary. You may be inspired to therapeutic massage your perineum nightly (Google it). You possibly can’t eat quite a lot of your favorite meals, and also you would possibly even develop one thing of a fuzzy beard. Sure, actually.
However what occurs on the subject of colouring your hair?
As a life-long blonde deeply dedicated to a six-year relationship with scalp bleaches, there is no denying that – after all, in spite of everything the thrill and early midwife appointments – my ideas inevitably wandered to my strict haircare schedule.
Is hair bleaching allowed throughout being pregnant? What about highlights?
Would I’ve to delay my standard 8-weekly appointments till after the delivery? I shuddered on the thought.
Positive sufficient, I had a short scroll on-line and noticed a number of posts questioning the protection of the method in being pregnant and instantly succumbed to a lifetime of near-brunette root progress for the subsequent 9 months.
It was solely just lately, with just some brief weeks to go till I lastly meet the tiny little human I have been rising inside my abdomen for what seems like endlessly, that I made a decision to actually look into it. In any case, I need to give the little man a superb first impression when he does make his look earthside… (I am nonetheless tbc on whether or not he’d respect a lash elevate and tint or if I ought to skip that step).
Having simply opened a brand new salon native to me in South East London, I made a decision to pop in to Blue Tit‘s new salon in Woolwich to see senior colourist Rumer Clifton and discover out what the principles round colouring and bleaching your hair throughout being pregnant actually are. As a result of, shockingly, these consultants know greater than these mumsnet boards bursting with fully uneducated opinions that I would discovered myself scrolling by means of for hours prior. Who knew?
“Colouring your hair throughout being pregnant is protected!” Rumer defined to my shock and pleasure, “however I might say it’s completely right down to how comfy you are feeling, and the connection you’ve got along with your colourist. After all, when you have any considerations, you may at all times seek the advice of recommendation out of your GP/ midwife.”
She’s proper, after all, and having checked with my very own midwife – who agreed with Rumer that it is completely protected to take action – I instantly booked in for that much-needed refresh.
