Coloured Girl September 20, 2006
When I found out I was pregnant one of the many things I looked up to refresh my memory on was hair colour. I had a vague memory that it was not recommended during pregnancy and I was right. This was a bit of a worry since I have become very grey in the last couple of years and I don’t feel quite ready to let it show yet.
I’ve been watching the grey coming through over the last couple of months and trying to think of ways of, not so much hiding it, but reducing its appearance. I had heard that highlights or other ways of colouring where the chemical doesn’t touch the skin were ok, but frankly I have too much grey across the front to be adequately covered by foils.
In amongst the huge volume of information we were given by the midwife yesterday I noticed a reference to hair colour. Apparently after the first trimester is considered alright to colour your hair, as long as your careful about breathing in fumes, etc.
In the next couple of days I’m going to make an appointment for a cut and colour and I intend to come out with something a bit different and bright. I’m going to have some fun since I don’t have to think about looking suitable for work - or anything else for that matter.
The last time I had tips done I asked the hairdresser to take care with the grey bits at the front. She missed them last time “What grey bits?” she asked. Hmm.
I like the family croc shot.
Did you know there are organic ones that are meant to be less chemically yuk? Just a thought…
