Craving
Kelly Posted on Friday, January 22, 2010 at 9:29 AM I've had a major itch lately to dye my hair. Ever since I saw a recent photo of Nicole Richie...
I want her hair! I want the color! I want bangs! Which in all honesty, on me would become side bangs, or more likely, pull-them-back-with-a-barrette bangs.
But mostly, I just want the color. I know, I know, it's fine to dye your hair when you're pregnant, especially after the first trimester. I just can't do it. All I can think about are the chemicals seeping into my brain, entering my blood stream, crossing over into the placenta and choking my baby.
Plus, my mom says that the pregnancy hormones can cause the color to come out weird. What's worse than unpredictable hair color? Nothing.
So for now I will enjoy my three inch muddy brown roots and dream of the day when I can strut some nice long shiny auburn locks.
What hairstyles are you currently craving??

I am about to donate my hair to Locks of Love and I have been eyeing Jenny McCarthy's short bob as the 'do to turn to once it's uber short. I love this style of Nicole Richie, I bet you would look fab! Just do it! :)
It's hard for me to say this, because I was afraid even my prenatal vitamins would kill me, but I think you should do it now. I'm telling you based on personal experience, once Jr. is here you're going to be so busy and so tired and you're going to neglect yourself. And when you're pregnant and feeling uncomfortable and clothes stop fitting right, it's nice to at least be gorgeous from the neck up!
Nice! I like that color a lot! I haven't been dark brown in a while.
I've heard the color doesn't turn out well while your pregnant, either. I don't know. You could always get a wig. I have 10 now and I love them. All different colors and lengths. You could go to a salon that sells wigs and have a fun, try on day. That way you could try on the colors and bangs and see how you'd like it!!! =)
I didn't color my hair when I was pregnant either.
