Facials & Hair Coloring during Pregnancy

So Eid is almost here & its going to be my first Eid after shadi. I am not big on dying & all but would love to do something different to my hair. Long story short. I am in my first trimester. Is it okay if I dye my hair? Will it cause any harm to the developing baby? I did some online research & some places say its okay some say its not.

Also what about facials? Besides the applying all those creams part. What about lying straight on my back for long time?

Last I don’t know if I’ll be doing this or not but what about applying acetone on your nails? Is that okay?

Would really appreciate if mothers who have already gone through these things would respond.

I sometimes color my hair tips (so technically I've never really touched my roots) but yeah I asked my OB a gazillion times if that was ok and she said it was fine.. and I think I did it once when I was pregnant, no problems/changes alhamdulillah

Oh good. Thanks for the post Bhenjee. I am so inclined to do something drastic. But just don't wanna put the baby in any harms way.

What about facials people. Anyone?

Re: Facials & Hair Coloring during Pregnancy

Facials are fine as long as you aren't using topical creams containing RetinA or specific acne fighting chemicals. A regular facial with regular over the counter products is fine.

I also asked about color during pregnancy and my doc asked me to use ammonia free & peroxide free color which is what is commonly available anyway.

Oh okay. I'll confirm the ingredients with my hair stylist then & the person I'll be getting my facial done from. Thanks for answering Niksik. This makes decision making a little easier.
