Is it safe to do the Japanese hair straightening treatment while pregnant? What about while breastfeeding? Thanks! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I am bf-ing and plan to do it this summer. Not worried. FWIW, I would have done it while pg if I'd needed it. They don't put the real chemicals directly on your scalp, anyway--they start about a half inch down. It's just the conditioning oils that go on your scalp. The person who did my hair worked all through her two pregnancies, too. [ Reply | More ]

Thanks for your input. Did your doctor say it was ok? [ Reply | More ]

Never asked. I doubt any doctor would give you a yes or no--there obviously hasn't been any research on this. [ Reply | More ]

My palce makes you sign away your life if you've recently given birth and have yor hair straightened. It turns out that, since a lot of women lose a lot of hair after child birth, it's a really bad time to get the process done. Nevertheless, I got it done 2 weeks post pregnancy and all was fine.

. . . and everyone has different views on what's ok during pregnancy . . I wouldn't do it, but people definitely do it and it doesn't seem to be a big deal [ Reply | More ]

you're going to be inhaling a lot of toxic fumes, I would wait until at least giving birth or late in your pregnancy. [ Reply | More ]
