Kelis Better Stop Coloring Her Hair While She's Pregnant!


Kelis looks like a sexy hot mama!But,she should have let her hair go natural while she's pregnant!She can get the highlighted streaks after she drops her baby.When you are with child,you have to give certain things up.Using chemicals in your hair is one of them!There are differing opinions about this issue,but I say it's better to be safe than sorry.Here's more on that from ehow.com:

"Any pregnant woman who dyes her hair has probably wondered whether it would be safe for the baby if the mother were exposed to hair dye. Even asking a doctor for the answer doesn't always help because doctors have differing views on the subject.

Before people understood how many chemicals actually get past the placenta and affect the baby, women didn't worry much about what chemicals they exposed themselves to. But during the 1970s, many substances were found to harm fetuses, including certain medications and some toxic chemicals commonly found in the home. Since then, many women have been worried about the chemicals they come into contact with, including those in hair dyes.

Hair dyes often contain bleach to lighten the hair. They also generally contain a mixture of chemicals like dihydroxybenzene, which may be harmful if consumed. However, placing the dyes on your hair means that the perceived danger is in absorbing the chemicals through the bloodstream. Some doctors worry that any amount of hair dye being absorbed through the skin is potentially harmful while many doctors tell their patients that dyeing their hair will result in absorbing a negligible amount of these chemicals."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
