Alternative hair dye during pregnancy? Please Help.?

My sister is trying to get pregnant, but is having trouble finding a safe hair dye that works. She will NOT use normal hair dye because of the potential danger(I know some really great children lived through it, but better safe then sorry, right?). The only safe one she's tried is henna and it was really a pain to apply, and it looks kinda strange. Not doing anything will look bad because she has dyed blond hair and dark roots. So if anyone knows of a safe, practical and attractive product, please share! Even if its only online.

I am not one for recommending chemical dyes and the question is here, is that your sister wants an alternative a NATURAL one. So no one is really helping the questionner out.

I do recommend henna but she has blond hair, so then her hair would be too orange wouldn't it? What kind of henna are you using? It is easier to apply on damp hair and she can visit www.longhaircommunity.com for tons of natural alternatives especially in the henna thread and read articles on using herbs naturally for your hair.

The thing is if she wants to go natural she has to let her natural hair color come back out or use henna along with indigo to quickly make her hair brown again. What is her hair color really? She wil need mostly indigo and just a small percentage of henna. This is the best natural option.

I really prefer if she would email me directly herself so we can work out the details. Feel free to please !

There is NO risk of hair dye soaking in through your scalp and getting into your blood stream and to the baby and causing miscarriage or defects. This is an old wives' tale that has been disproved. The ONLY issue with hair dye and early pregnancy is the smell..the strong smell can make many pregnant women nauseous or faint, but it won't poison the baby or anything like that. Seriously. If she wants to dye her hair, she should do it.

If she's not pregnant yet, then she's fine to use whatever hair dye she wants. It's after she's pregnant that she should avoid dying if she can. If she's planning on getting pregnant, she should have a professional job done to the color of her roots so she can go the whole pregnancy without looking two-toned and then go back to her preferred color after the baby is born.

Although theres no real proof of hair dye causing problems I am forgoing it and opting for highlights which dont touch the scalp.

No one has ever proven that hair dye will cause any harm to the pregnancy. I know of a lot of pregnant women that goes to the salon and dye their hair during pregnancy! And if she's not pregnant yet, it's definately ok to use anything
