"Hi my name is Lauren and today I am here to discuss can you highlight hair during pregnancy? Considering that highlighting is not touching the root of your hair and will not go into your bloodstream so the chemicals can be quite safe that way they are not actually going and hitting your root. When you get your hair highlighted you are going up to and close to the root however you are not actually going to be hitting the skin so therefore none of it will be going in within your blood stream so highlighting can ultimately be very safe for you while you are pregnant. I do, however, recommend that you consult a doctor and make sure that it goes along with your plan. Also the first three months in the first trimester of pregnancy is the most crucial time of pregnancy so you can wait for those three months and not get it done so that way you are not even surrounded by the chemicals by being within the sun you may be better off. I definitely recommend that you consult your doctor and that you do have his permission in order to get your hair highlighted but as for highlighting it should be perfectly safe in order to get your hair highlighted during pregnancy."
