Patient's question:
My baby is eight and a half months old; Can I soften my hair now; Still breastfeeding; Also providing complementary foods. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No care about what kind of assistance: How can I soften my hairDoctor's answer:
According to your description, it is best not to have your hair permed or colored while you are breastfeeding, as perm and hair dyeing products may contain chemical reagents and heavy metals, which can affect the child.Advice: It is recommended that since hair dye is applied to the mother's hair, a small portion may also be absorbed by the scalp and enter the bloodstream, eventually reaching the breast milk. Even if the concentration of hair dye in breast milk is low, due to the baby's underdeveloped liver and kidney function and poor detoxification ability, there is a risk of accumulation of chemical substances from the hair dye, which is harmful to the baby. Therefore, breastfeeding mothers should be aware that many ingredients in medications and cosmetics can pass through breast milk and cause adverse effects on the baby.
