Hair Dye

Hair dyeing is safe while breastfeeding. The chemicals in hair dye have minimal skin absorption into the bloodstream, and what little enters the bloodstream is unlikely to reach breast milk in meaningful amounts. This is one of the most common concerns from nursing mothers — and one of the most reassuring answers. Go ahead and treat yourself.
