Safe alternative way to highlight my hair while pregnant?

I know there is no conclusive evidence on whether hair products are harmful or not when you are pregnant, but I don't want to take any chances. I was wondering if there are any natural alternatives to getting salon highlights. Does lemon juice really work? Will it damage my hair really bad? My hair is light blond now and my dark blonde roots are showing. Is there anything I can do that doesn't use chemicals?

Safe alternative way to highlight my hair while pregnant?

Highlights are supposed to be relatively safe, compared to coloring all of your hair. Your scalp is not as immersed with chemicals as it is when you dye all of your hair.

With that said, I am 5 months pregnant and I tend to avoid perms, dyes, highlights, even nail polish. But I'm a little extreme.

There are natural ways to highlight your hair, depending on its current color. For light hair, use chamomile or rhubarb. To add dark rich highlights to dark hair, use cinnamon sticks, sage, or lavender. For red highlights, use dry hibiscus flowers or tea bags with hibiscus.

they do say highlights are actually better than hairdye because the highlights do not actually touch your scalp but I do understand not taking the chance. Yes lemon juice is a natural hair lightener and it will work but I dont know how successful it will be to lighten roots--i think it will only bring out your natural highlights. why dont you try dying your hair with a non permanent hair dye that is a little darker than your natural color so you dont have to maintain the roots during your pregnancy. The non permanent is ok to use because there is no ammonia but check with your doc--mine said it was fine to use.

How can I get into hair commercials?

Get some nice headshots taken, that show off your hair. Attach your resume with whatever acting or modeling you have done. Send them to agents that specialize in commerical, and see where that takes you.

You won't be able to book any commerical without an agent, so that would be your first step :)

Why can't you dye your hair after dying your hair with progressive dyes?

HELP!! i put 'sun in' in my hair unaware that it was a progressive dye and that i would be unable to dye my hair again. my hair was strawberry blond but the 'sun in' made it go more orange!! i wanted to dye my hair blonde at the hair dressers but the said because i used the 'sun in' i couldn't dye my hair. i waited awhile but still hated it so i just dyed it brown with semi dye at home. it worked so now that ive dyed on top of it and its grown out a few inches can i get it dyed at the hair dressers?? what will happen if i dye it??

Why can't you dye your hair after dying your hair with progressive dyes?

I personally have never dyed my hair but my friend does regularly. Once she dyed it multiple times within the same time frame and it turned a funky gray-blonde...

Probably isn't too healthy for your hair either.

Why can't you dye your hair after dying your hair with progressive dyes?

Sun-In has been around for ages and all it is is peroxide and water basically.

It bleaches your hair. It does not "dye" your hair. Peroxide (or bleach) removes pigment from your hair.

To simplify the chemical explanation, all hair has "undertones". Your natural hair color (the color you were born with) has an undertone of orange if that's what you ended up with when bleaching it.

Coloring hair ADDS pigment.

Two different processes.

By the way, "dye" is what is used in textiles. "Haircolor" is the proper terminology for anything with pigment in it that changes your hair color.

Whatever salan you went to, they were full of it and didn't know what they were talking about. Progressive dye?? WTF? OK forget what they said.

It's a bleach.

You can color over bleach but you have to know what you are doing and beware of breakdown of the integrity of your hair and that the color results will vary because of the previous bleaching.

Soooo, YES YOU CAN color (not dye) your roots. Go to a good stylist to get it done and tell them everything you've done to your hair. The more your stylist knows about what's in your hair, the better job they can do.

Good luck.

Hair question?

I know that blonde hair gets blonder from the sun, but do the tanning beds make it blonder as well?

Hair question?

Probably.I think it also kills it due 2 radiation from the lights.

Hair question?

i never heard of that

Hair question?

It might because all tanning beds have UV rays even if they advertise tht they don't..

Hair question?

no it doesn't

Hair question?

most likely, because the both are putting off uva rays! so the answer to your question is, yes!

Hair question?

no

Hair question?

Probably, but you don't have to do that just for the lighter hair. You can squeeze a little bit less than 1/2 of a lemon into a bowl with about 1/4 cup of water.

1.Rinse your hair out.

2.Stick a PEA size amount of your shampoo into your hair and rub in.

3.Rinse that out.

4.Pour lemon mixture into your hair and rub in.

5.Only rinse out a little, but not so little that you smell like a lemon meringue pie, but enough that you still smell lemony fresh.

Hair Project.?

I am doing a project for school on hair, i am trying to find out the statistics of hair colors, like how many people have red, brown, blond, or black natural hair color in the world, or how many people dye their hair. Where could I find this information? I have looked everywhere and can not find it anywhere.

Hair Project.?

I say start a survey on Yahoo Answers, under the poll part. I myself have medium brown hair, naturally, but in the summer it lightens to a reddish color.

Hair Project.?

google, yahoo

Hair Project.?

agree w/ the first answer

Hair Project.?

I think most people have darker hair color since it's more dominant than blonde or red hair color. But I did find a good link for you, it has the break down for hair color and genetics of hair color. I hope it helps:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_color

I also agree with the first answer you can always do your own poll and then compare it to some research done on the subject.

I have brown hair.

Hair Project.?

well, you can start now, hehe, my hair is black. im sorry does that count? go to google

Hair Project.?

i agree with the first answer, make a poll on yahoo answers. so this way you know the true answers.

Lemon juice or hair dye at stores?

hiii there.

well i'd like to make my hair blonder then it is. so my question is should i get the hair dye at the stores or use lemon juice becuase i've heard that works. which one won't dry out my hair as much? i know going to a beauty saloon would be the best option butt that's expensive to dye your hair.

thanks thanks thanks :]

Lemon juice or hair dye at stores?

Lemon juice does work naturally but it may not give you the results you want. As opposed to dying it, try Sun In, its a spray bottle and lightens your hair and it costs about $3.00. Its better for your hair, less chemicals and will give you better results then lemon juice. :)

Lemon juice or hair dye at stores?

lemon juice works. (this is a girl on my dads username) I have blonde hair, and my hair got alloot blonder, but i also got highlights and that made my hair alloot blonder to. soo hope this helps =)

Lemon juice or hair dye at stores?

Well... lemon juice can work but you have to put it on your hair, then go out in the sun...

Bleaching at home can be less expensive but if you don't have someone there to help you, it can end up in disaster =P

Bleaching does dry out your hair because it removes the natural pigment of your hair and strips away color and moisture. I have used bleach and my hair didn't get too dry, just use a damage repairing shampoo %26amp; conditioner afterwards. AND DON'T FORGET THAT DEEP CONDITIONER!!!

Lemon juice is a natural acid and can do the same thing.

But as long as you have a good deep conditioner and don't leave it on too long, it'll all be fine.

Go to Sally's and ask them for a good deep conditioner after bleaching.

Just don't use perioxide!!!!!!!!!!

Lemon juice or hair dye at stores?

i dont suggest using lemon juice i know a lot of people do it, and it does work, but the acids really are not good for your hair, and the sun isnt always good for your hair either, and if you do decide to get real haircolor or highlights or any type of chemical done to your hair afterwards, it could do some damage, id rather you be safe and go to a salon, you would be happier with it.

Lightning my hair...best way?

My natural hair is a dark blond, and I have been dying it dark brown for years, Now I'm wanting to get back to a dark blond with as little damage as possible so I can let my hair grow, what would be the best option outside of a salon?

Lightning my hair...best way?

since you've been dying your hair darker for years it's going to be very difficult to remove without bleaching it.

my advice is to slowly go lighter, like next time you dye your hair dye it brown, then light brown, then dark blond.

also try mixing around 1 tablespoon of baking soda with your shampoo and wash your hair out with it and you should see the hair dye just wash out

Lightning my hair...best way?

get a hair dye with no ammonia =]
