    Question

    If i'm 7 months and 2 weeks pregnant, can i get my hair cut and dyed?

    Answer

    Generally, the safest approach to hair dye is to wait until after pregnancy to redye your hair. Hair cut is safe in pregnancy. If you are unable to wait until after your pregnancy, many obstetricians will say that it is all right to dye hair in the third trimester - after 28 wks, which is about 7 months.
