Hair color and nail chemicals during pregnancy

I haven't used my permanent root color in several months, I've been using semi-perm. and my grey will soon be showing again like crazy. I have been trying to find out what, if any, color products are ok during pregnancy.

Yesterday the doc said it's fine, not a problem, but if it makes you feel better, wait until 2nd trimester. She said getting my nails filled etc. is fine too, as long as I don't work there (i.e. all-day exposure).

I was thinking of ordering Karen's herbavite color or whatever that stuff is called, it's made from veg. dyes and has no ammonia/peroxide. That's not the best for grey coverage, but I want to make sure I do the right thing here.

I'd feel better hearing more on these topics. Does anyone have any knowledge? Thanks.

I don't color my hair so I don't know about that.
Does anyone else here know?

Hey, I am due in April with my 3rd baby and I know that it is safe to dye your hair as much as you''''d like while being pregnant as long as you keep the area well ventillated.

Thanks Erika. Congratulations to you! And welcome to the boards.
