Patient's question:
Wondering if hair coloring and perming affect the quality of breast milkDoctor's answer:
Hair dyeing during breastfeeding can affect the baby. Although hair dye is only applied to the mother's hair, a portion of it can be absorbed through the scalp into the bloodstream and enter the breast milk. It is recommended to wait until weaning before getting a perm or dyeing your hair. Even if the concentration of hair dye in breast milk is low, the baby's liver and kidney functions are still underdeveloped, and their detoxification ability is poor. This can easily lead to the accumulation of chemical substances from hair dye, which is not good for the baby.
