Call your salon and find out when someone is scheduled to have her hair dyed, to be sure you can handle the smell of the chemicals. Many women experience nausea, especially during their first trimester of pregnancy and even into their second trimester.

Schedule an appointment with your stylist, once you know you can handle the smell of the chemicals. Have the stylist do a color test on your hair before your appointment. With all the added hormones in your body, your hair may have changed. It may be more brittle or more susceptible to color. By having the stylist test a strand of your hair, she will know exactly how long the chemicals need to be on your hair. This will keep you from being exposed to chemicals longer than necessary.
