Hair Falling out after Having a Baby
Will it be safe for me to get it dyed? It really needs doing, and it's been over a year since I got it done.
This means that a number of women experience a sudden - often dramatic - thinning of the hair a number of months after having the baby.
Since you have been to the doctor and confirmed that there isn't an ongoing hormonal problem, you should be safe to proceed with your hair color service. However, make sure that your stylist is aware that you just had a baby and that you have been experiencing hair loss. He or she may need to use a clarifying shampoo to prepare your hair for receiving the color.
He or she will also want to perform a strand test to determine the proper timing for the service and especially to perform a patch test to make sure you haven't developed any sensitivity to the chemicals in the hair color mix. The last thing you want is to have your hair colored and suddenly find yourself with chemical burns or a severe rash all over your scalp from the chemicals used.
