Of course! With the hormonal modifications, it would be good that she turns to natural, even organic products and to plant-based colors so as not to affect her body even more.
Do your pregnant patients ask you about this?
Yes, I see them for up to 6 months of pregnancy, then they are taken care of at the hospital or clinic, and if I have a request or questions from them during this period, I tell them that it is not proven that there are any risks but that in their most fragile state, it is preferable to take care of their hair with natural and organic products.
And after the birth?
After giving birth, there are still hormonal changes and very often they complain of having hair loss or dry, dull hair, and here more than ever, hair care is very useful and if they need to make colors, thanks to the plant-based colors, in general, they can regain natural hair and a good level of shine.

My hair has been damaged, dry, dull because of classic colors, classic treatments, shampoos and more...so my decision has been taken to turn to organic.

Formaldehyde, bleaches, solvents, ammonia and other substances that are harmful to health can reach the embryo.
These toxic elements can be highly carcinogenic.
Chemical colony could be the cause of various malformations, disorders of the brain and nervous system of a baby.
Especially when applied during the first three months of the foetus' life.
Seek medical advice if in doubt
Given all these risks, it is best to always seek medical advice.
Although there are no contraindications to the use of colorings during pregnancy, most doctors will not recommend it.
For example, in Denmark, chemical hair colorings is strongly discouraged for pregnant women.

Best Ammonia Free Hair Color for Pregnant Women
A pregnant woman must take care of her health and that of her baby. For the beauty routine, she should avoid the use of chemicals that are very harmful .
For the hair, for example, coloring should be chosen with great care. Ammonia should be avoided.

Be careful, this does not mean anything, because ammonia is often replaced by a molecule that is even worse for your health and that of your baby.
This chemical serves as a catalyst to open the hair scales to allow artificial pigmentation.
The classic coloring brands have removed ammonia from their formulas because of its toxicity.
However, in the absence of this component, another, still toxic, is used: ethanolamine.

These components can form carcinogenic molecules.
The coloring chemical can contain endocrine disruptors causing skin rashes, allergies...
And during pregnancy, these chemicals reach and cross the placental barrier through the bloodstream.

Although pregnant women should not use chemical coloring , there is a solution for them to make a beautiful color : coloring .
It is 100% natural and safe for both mother and baby.
