By far this is one of the most asked questions in the salon industry today. We thrive on maintaining a trendy and fashionable look for the workplace which, lets face it, is where many women are today. So, to answer the question, here is my professional opinion: first and foremost follow your doctor’s instructions, second follow your gut and own personal feelings on this choice.
The facts and findings are as follows:
1. To date there is no concrete evidence on this topic through studies or research to prove that any type of hair coloring is unsafe.
2. In the past 23 years in the industry many colorists and stylists have continued to color their own hair while pregnant, primarily due to the knowledge of the variety of different procedures available in color application.
3. There are a number of choices available today in hair coloring, including but not limited to off the scalp hi-liting, non aggressive demi-colors, rinses and so many more.
4. You have the option to choose what works best for you. I suggest that during this special time when you are expecting, even if you never did before — you should seek a professional colorist at a maternity friendly salon and have a consultation. At this time the colorist can explain all your options. (If you need a reference on what is available and what each procedure entails, it can be found under hair color at
www.MaternitySalon.com).
5. I feel with the right choices you can enjoy gorgeous hair throughout your pregnancy and worry free.
As always, do your own research, talk to your doctor, and make an informed decision.

Hair loss or Alopecia is a problem most of us are facing on a daily basis. Some studies say that men tend to “get” balder faster or that stress contributes to this problem or plainly we're just born with it – carried by genes that is. Nevertheless when it comes to hairloss or caderea parului we have to agree that women suffer the most and spend up a fortune to get rid of this problem. The thing is most products aren't even half good as they are marketed so what's a woman to do ? I think that natural remedies (using eggs and aloe vera) can help your hairloss problem but if people don't start eating and living healthy there's no stop to this issue.
