There is no woman who doesn't want to look great and be confident. This is especially true for young mothers who have given birth and are experiencing stress. One of the questions is - can you dye your hair while breastfeeding?
Is coloration compatible with feeding
Hair dyeing is an understandable and simple procedure, however, when breastfeeding, the result of dyeing may be far from expected, and it's all about changing the hormonal background.
In order to avoid such incidents, you need to tell a beauty salon specialist (or a sales assistant in a store) that there is a baby who is breastfeeding. A qualified specialist will be able to take this moment into account when choosing a paint for painting.
You can also find special paint made for nursing mothers in stores. But even in this case, you should carefully study the composition and consult with a specialist.
How does the dye work on hair and skin when breastfeeding?
Sometimes breastfeeding is accompanied by increased hair loss, and then staining will only aggravate the situation. Also, hair loss can be caused by coloring, in which dye with ammonia and hydrogen peroxide is used.
The scalp reacts negatively to a lack of hair, resulting in oily and dry hair, dandruff and allergies. In some cases, they can be split and brittle. Coloring will only aggravate the situation.
How dangerous is staining - myth debunking
- Coloring "kills" the hair. As mentioned above, it depends more on the composition and quality of the hair dye product.
- Inhalation of paint is harmful. This is true, because after 30 minutes, the chemicals released by the dye will be absorbed into the bloodstream and breast milk. Toxins can lead to allergies or poisoning in the child. Therefore, it is important to use safe formulations or express milk immediately after dyeing your hair.
- If there are open wounds on the skin, staining is contraindicated.
- Due to the fact that the hormonal background changes in a nursing mother, the color may ultimately be different or be heterogeneous.
- In a nursing woman, immunity is weakened, so even the usual remedies can cause allergies.
It should be noted that there are ammonia-free paints, they are produced without ammonia and other harmful components, which reduces the risk of an allergic reaction. In addition, the formulations do not emit odors and have a healing effect. Special oils and a whole list of vitamins are responsible for this.
Instead of a conclusion
In conclusion, two main conclusions can be drawn:
- a really high-quality dye does not have a bad effect on the hair and the composition of the milk, so such coloring is acceptable.
- it is strictly forbidden to decant immediately after staining. Better to wait a few hours before feeding the baby.
Thus, the talk of grandmothers and mothers that milk will spoil in any case can be called a myth in modern conditions.
