Is it safe to have hair foils done...

[2s'nuff]

I have had foils throughout both pg. First time this pg was at 10 weeks. No problems as far as I'm aware.

I had my hair coloured numerous times throughout my pregnancy (wasnt aware), had strong bleaching to remove the black from my hair etc, and my son came out nice and healthy........and very blonde...hhhhhhhmmmmmmmm...I wonder....nah just kidding, Im not that stupid

I was told by my doctor, that alot of the warnings are to basically cover the companies @rses in case anything happens to your unborn child after you using the product, you can not blame the company as they have issued a warning on their product etc.......

So I dont really see a problem with it, as poshBecks said, just dont drink it.........

But when it comes down to it, the decision the choice is up to you....

Yes, Its fine. You can even have on scalp tints, the only recommendation from the rwhm is that you avoid lots of things including haircolour in the first 3 months. But foils are when the hair is coated with colour and wraped in foil, so you don't actually have any conact witht the colour so it cannot absorb. Aside from that there is no evidence that actually sugests taht it causes problems in pregnancy, it is only a theory. I am a hairdresser and coloured my hair on scalp 3 times in my 1st pg and couldn't have gone without!

Apparently foils are okay as they don't touch the scalp (like a full normal colour does). I just got my foils done today! I normally go the full head of dye but decided against it, even though I have terrible greys. At least the foils blend them. Hairdresser said it was safe and my sister did research on it when she was pregnant last year and found the same thing.
