What should I do if I dye my hair during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What should I do if I dye my hair during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Mothers-to-be who dye or perm their hair during pregnancy are not entirely safe, although there is currently no clear evidence that it causes fetal malformations or affects. However, these chemicals are still toxic, so if dyeing or perming hair during pregnancy, the following principles should be followed: It is best to wait until after the third month of pregnancy to dye or perm hair, as the fetus is in the critical period of organ development before the third month, making it most susceptible to malformations. Try to minimize the frequency of dyeing hair to avoid the accumulation of chemicals causing harm.
