Congratulations on your pregnancy! You’re probably wondering, “Can I dye my hair while pregnant?” Or maybe you’re looking for a natural hair dye safe for pregnancy that won’t pose any risks to you or your baby. It’s completely normal to reconsider your consumption habits during pregnancy—not only in terms of diet but also cosmetics and haircare. Expectant mothers often need to make compromises. So, should you stop coloring your hair during pregnancy, or is there a safe option for pregnant women? Let’s not keep you waiting—the answer is yes! There is a natural hair dye safe for pregnancy: This Green’s natural hair dye.
Discover everything you need to know about natural hair dye while pregnant in this article!
During pregnancy, conventional hair dyes are strongly discouraged. So, when changing your hair color while pregnant, it’s important to be extra careful! Conventional hair dyes contain allergenic substances such as ammonia, PPD and silicones (which are also found in many supermarket shampoos). These chemicals can penetrate the scalp and be inhaled, eventually crossing the placental barrier through the bloodstream.
Conventional hair dye is especially discouraged during the first trimester of pregnancy, as this is when the baby’s organs are forming. Throughout pregnancy, the mother transfers antibodies, oxygen, water, and nutrients to the baby via her bloodstream. This makes it crucial to be mindful of the cosmetics and food she consumes.
As you can see, chemical hair dye should be avoided by pregnant women for the sake of their own health and their baby’s. But don’t worry—This Green has the perfect solution with a natural hair dye safe for pregnancy! Our natural hair dye is designed to be gentle and safe, without compromising on quality or effectiveness. So yes, pregnancy and hair dye can go together—as long as it’s organic!
This Green has developed a natural hair dye safe for pregnancy.
As mentioned earlier, This Green’s natural hair dye safe for pregnancy is made exclusively from natural and biodegradable ingredients, such as henna, walnut husk, turmeric, indigo, and other botanical and Ayurvedic plants. The concentration varies depending on the desired color. This means our hair dye is 100% natural and vegan, posing no risk to your health or your baby’s.
Yes, you can use natural hair dye while pregnant —as long as you choose an organic one! But what shades can you achieve? With This Green’s natural hair dye safe for pregnancy, you have a wide range of natural color options, from golden blonde to light brown.
However, organic dye cannot lighten hair since it does not involve a chemical process. This means you won’t be able to bleach your hair, get highlights, or opt for unnatural shades like blue or purple. Additionally, because organic dye works by layering pigment over your natural hair, you can’t choose a shade drastically different from your base color—for example, a blonde person cannot achieve a deep dark brown.
The easiest way to apply our natural hair dye during pregnancy is to visit a This Green partner hair salon. Organic dye works differently from conventional dye—you can’t just apply a pigment and expect a uniform result.
Additionally, the same hair dye can look completely different on two different heads of hair. That’s why there is no standard color chart for organic dyes. The natural pigments react differently based on your hair’s natural color, porosity, application time, and temperature.
If you’re considering dyeing your hair at home, it’s important to know that natural hair dye requires expertise. That’s why we highly recommend visiting a This Green partner hair salon! And let’s be honest—when you’re pregnant, wouldn’t you rather be pampered at a salon than struggle to apply dye on every strand yourself?
During your visit, your hairstylist will help you choose the right shade for your hair. After washing your hair, they will apply our natural hair dye during pregnancy section by section. You’ll then need to let the color process. This Green’s organic dyes have relatively short processing times, ranging from 20 minutes to 2 hours for a rich, intense red. They are specifically designed to deliver fast, effective results without compromising hair health.
During the coloring process, the natural pigments adhere to the hair fiber without penetrating the scalp or bloodstream, ensuring your baby has zero exposure to any substances.
Once the processing time is complete, your hair will be rinsed to remove any residue. Avoid shampooing for the first 48 hours after coloring to allow the pigments to fully oxidize and develop into their final shade.
As long as you’re using an natural hair dye, you can dye your hair as often as you like! Unlike conventional hair dyes, This Green’s natural hair dye safe for pregnancy doesn’t leave a harsh root regrowth line. However, for best results, we recommend touching up your color every 5 to 6 weeks to maintain a vibrant look.
Even after giving birth, don’t rush back to using conventional dyes. While you’re breastfeeding, you may still pass harmful substances to your baby through your milk if you’re not careful. To eliminate any risk, continue using This Green’s natural hair dye safe for pregnancy until you stop breastfeeding.
Be sure to inform your hairstylist that you’re pregnant. Since organic dyes are natural, they can react to many factors, including hormonal changes during pregnancy. The final result might be slightly different than usual.
Using This Green’s natural hair dye safe for pregnancy is the perfect way to maintain beautiful, healthy hair throughout your pregnancy. It enhances and strengthens your hair while keeping you and your baby safe.
