Can breastfeeding mothers dye their hair?

Breastfeeding mothers can dye their hair, but it is important to take some precautions. Hair dyes often contain chemicals, and some of these substances can pass through the milk of nursing mothers to their babies. However, this amount of pass is usually very low and will not harm the baby.

However, some mothers may be sensitive to the use of hair dye. Hair dyes can irritate the skin and cause symptoms such as itching, redness and swelling in some mothers. These symptoms are not serious, but can be uncomfortable.

When breastfeeding mothers dye their hair, they can take some precautions to avoid baby's contact. For example, wash your hands frequently during and after applying hair dye, and clean your hands before touching your baby. You can also minimize baby's contact by applying hair dye before breastfeeding.

Hair dye solvents are chemical substances, if these chemicals are to come into contact with the skin at the base of the hair and be absorbed, they can pass into the milk, so bottom dye is not recommended for breastfeeding mothers.

As a result, breastfeeding mothers may dye their hair, but it is recommended that they talk to their doctor about this as well. Before using hair dye, read the ingredients of the products you will use and make sure they are safe.
