Dear manu20ginobili,

No one knows for sure if coloring your hair during pregnancy is completely safe, but most experts agree that it's probably OK, especially after the first trimester.

If you are planning to have a baby, it's important to talk with a health care provider about any questions you may have. Some Planned Parenthood health centers offer prenatal care, including ultrasounds, and some do not. But all Planned Parenthood health centers can give you a referral for prenatal care. To make an appointment, call 1-800-230-PLAN to find a Planned Parenthood health center near you.

Hope this information helps!

Take care,
