    My recommendation is not to dye your hair.

    Chemicals. Why take that chance? There is a lot of varied opinion on this but the safest opinion is the best opinion.

    When I was pregnant I went to a health store, bought all natural dye, no toxins. It doesn't work as well as regular dye's but it's better than nothing.

    Extensive studies have not been done on the effects of hair dye on the fetus, I wouldn't take the risk. Surely you can wait for 9 months. :)

    Another thing to keep in mind is when you are pregnant your hair changes due to the prenatal and hormone levels changing, which means your hair may not take the dye evenly, or the color may not come out what it should.
