i mean i have heard of people that are pregnant not dying their hair in fear of it hurting the baby and i know i was having an allergic reaction (breathing problems) when i got my hair dyed after getting allergy shots (my poor allergies lol) and since its a bunch of chemicals i cant imagine it being great for you but is there any studies that definitely say it is bad for you? and is one type worse than others? going lighter worse than darker??

all hair dyes have chemicals and my thinking is that it is best to avoid chemicals as much as you can. it may cause skin allergies and may also weaken the hair. i have also seen some cases where even normal hair also turn white after excessive use of hair color. many hair colors also contain ammonia which is not a good thing to inhale. however i am not sure about its effect on pregnancy. occasional use is okay but making a habit out of it is certainly not advisable.

i just cant see it being good at all especially going lighter with peroxide in it etc.. but yet i still dye my hair lol.. but yeah your right it does change your hair.. my hair used to be light/medium blonde then i started dying it as a teen and i dyed it darker then had been dye free to like 5 years and my hair was not the same as before it was at best a medium/dark blonde.. which is why i dye it lighter now

Hair dye nowadays is safe - even for pregnant women (I think that scare came from years and years and years ago when dyes contained lead). If you are worried about it though you can use an all natural product.

hi,moonlitmagikchild!
I believe hair dye is harmful for health.since it can be absorbed by bodies ,it reaches organs all over the bodeis with blood circulation including matrix.so when the woman is pregnant,it can reach the embryo.
have a nice day!
