Generally it’s considered safe, as only a very small amount gets absorbed through the scalp 😊 But many doctors do suggest waiting until after the 1st tri just to be extra cautious. If you do go ahead, you can minimise exposure by doing highlights so it doesn’t touch the scalp, choosing ammonia-free dyes, and making sure the area is well ventilated. If you’re unsure, best to check with your gynae for peace of mind!
