Patient's question:
Do you want to know if hair dyeing and perming affects the quality of breast milk?Doctor's answer:
Hair dyeing during breastfeeding can affect the baby, although the dye is only applied to the mother's hair, a portion of it is absorbed through the scalp and enters the breast milk through the bloodstream. 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, due to the baby's underdeveloped liver and kidney function and poor detoxification ability, it is easy for hair dye chemicals to accumulate, which is not good for the baby.
