Hair dressers when pregnant??

I want to get a perm for so long, as i had my hair cut short. I know it will suit, thats not the problem. Its that Ive heard the use a certain chemical to curl your hair permantly when ou get a perm, and Im worryed. I know your not suposed to dye you hair when your pregnant, but what about this perm thing??

I think the whole "dangerous hair chemicals" thing is a bit of an urban myth. The reason they say not to dye your hair has more to do with the fact that your hair might not respond to it the same way as if you weren't pregnant. Because of the hormone changes, your hair changes too. I would wait to get the perm simply because your hair might not take it and then you'll be stuck with a bad looking one.

I got my hair colored when I preggers. And my little baby girl is just fine. As far as perming, I don't know. There is a whole lot more chemicals in perm mixtures than in coloring. check with your dr.

congrats!

well i got my hair highlighted when i was pregnant (still am) and im fine...the chemicals dont sit on your scalp though but everyone has told me that when you get a perm, it wont "take" to your hair as well...meaning it might not stay or come out right because of the pregnancy hormones...but i havent seen anyone get one so i cant say from personal experience.

Getting the odd perm or color will not harm you or the baby if you have not had adverse reactions to those chemicals in the past.

People are so worked up and warned that this or that is harmful when pregnant, soon pregnant women will not be aloud out of bed for fear of tripping! That warning is more for hose who work in salons, who are exposed to the chemicals all day everyday and the fumes they let off. Besides the perms today are not the perms of a decade ago. You can get matrix perms and relaxers that are no where near as damaging to the hair, the fumes are not even near other brands and they do not take as long.

I worked in a salon until I was almost 30 weeks and I had a perm done and I had colors done, I also done them to others while I was pregnant. My child turned out perfectly fine. My other friends who were pregnant in the same salon had done the same thing and they all had healthy little baby's as well.

Do not expect your perm to come out the same way as it did when you were not pregnant though, many people have changes in the way a perm turns out while pregnant and after they have the baby, it just do not go back for some. And that is ok, your stylist should be able to adjust and change it for you. Any good stylist will not just start wrapping your hair and squirtingon chemicals without checking out your hair and taking a bit of info from you anyways. I (and most other stylist) always treat each client getting a perm or color as if they never had one from me before, I check out the hair each adn every time I change formulas and products to suit. more than just pregnancy changes the hair. Your hair today is not going to be the same hair as the next time you get it permed or colored.
