Hair Bleach

Hair bleaching while breastfeeding is safe. Like hair dye, bleach is applied to the hair shaft and scalp, with very little systemic absorption. The chemicals involved are not known to transfer into breast milk in harmful amounts. If you're sensitive to fumes, ensure the room is well-ventilated — which is good practice for anyone.

Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
