Patient's question:
Does hair dyeing or perming affect babies? This child has had this condition for a while and is reluctant to take medicine. Please give the doctor some advice.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, it is generally acceptable to dye and perm your hair during breastfeeding. However, the chemicals used in hair dyeing and perming may come from complex sources, and non-regulated products could cause allergic reactions. Hair dyes can contain large amounts of lead, which can be absorbed through the skin and passed to the infant through breast milk. Accumulation can potentially harm the infant's brain and nervous system. It is best to avoid using them.
