Though, there is nothing unsafe about using hair colour during pregnancy, but if you still want to go ahead and also be doubly safe, you can colour your hair but not from the roots. One of my friends coloured her hair when she was 5 months pregnant. She could have waited and done it after delivery also, but because of all those changes that were happening to her body, and mood-swings, she wanted to pep herself up and thought of colouring her hair. She went ahead with it and there was no problem at all. She read many articles where it was written that to colour hair is completely safe, even then she did not want to take any chances and coloured her hair but not starting from the roots. She left an inch of margin from the roots and got colour streaks. They looked awesome. She was also happy and there were no doubts about it being unsafe. So, you can also opt to go for colouring leaving a margin so that it doesn't start from your scalp. http://www.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/hair-dye http://americanpregnancy.org/is-it-safe/hair-treatments-during-pregnancy/
