When you are pregnant is it true your not suppose to get a relaxer in your hair?

I had one and it didn't harm my babyWhen you are pregnant is it true your not suppose to get a relaxer in your hair?
They say some chemicals can penetrate the scalp, like relaxers and hair dye. When I was pregnant, my hair stylist would not relax my hair, so I wore braids the whole time.When you are pregnant is it true your not suppose to get a relaxer in your hair?
i dont think your supposed to have anything done to your hair or nails but not sure
You should be fine, yes ';they'; say the chemicals can be absorbed through the scalp, but who knows really, lots of people do it and have very healthy babies, just make sure you are in a well ventilated room. And that would be a rule, even if you weren't pregnant.
I couldn't find anything specific about relaxer-but here is an answer about hair coloring during pregnancy.





Q: Can I dye my hair if I'm pregnant?





A: Many moms-to-be give their colorist a holiday, but Dr. Robert Hartman, Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Lake Forest Hospital, Chicago says there is no danger coloring while pregnant. “It's an urban legend that chemically treating hair during pregnancy is unsafe,” he says. “Most of the restrictions and prohibitions for hair treatments come from years ago when harsh chemicals and peroxides were used.”





Still, pregnancy does change the texture, condition and growth cycle of your hair. To reduce the risk of renegade hormones spoiling a color, some salons won't color hair until after the first trimester. If you're concerned about chemicals penetrating the shaft, Dr. Hartman says waiting until mid-pregnancy should set your mind at ease. – Julia Rosien
Completely up to you. It will not harm you health wise but the fumes are a little strong if you have morning sickness. The only thing you need to be aware of is that hormones can increase the risk of the process not working as well, the same goes for perming.
it's not true........you can die perm and relax your hair while prego yourbaby will be fine and you will look and feel good
is it really true were not supposed to raise our arms over our shoulders because it will make the umbillical cord wrap around the babys neck?? no, it's fine, just use it sparingly and nothing that is too strong smelling.
i have never been pregnant but i believe this is a myth. my hair dresser was pregnant 3 times and worked through each of her pregnancies. all her babies are healthy.
No chemicals in the hair when you are pregnant: that is correct
Many women avoid chemical hair dyes and other treatments that could be absorbed into the scalp and passed in the blood to the baby.





Some of the chemicals in those things are toxic, expecially in the tiny, developing body in the womb.
