The lifestyle choices of the mother may affect the infant through breast milk. For instance, lactating mothers should be cautious about using cosmetics, including hair dye while breastfeeding.
Hair dyeing can be done at home or in a salon. However, regardless of the process being done at home or in a salon, a nursing mother must be careful about choosing the hair dye product.
Read the post to know the possible concerns, safe alternatives of hair dyes, and tips on safely coloring the hair for breastfeeding mothers.
Can You Dye Your Hair During Breastfeeding?
Yes, you may dye your hair when breastfeeding. According to the NHS UK, there are no contraindications for dyeing hair when breastfeeding since very little of the dye’s compounds enter the bloodstream (1). There is no evidence that the compounds reach breast milk (2). Therefore, dyeing hair during lactation is possible without being concerned about it affecting the infant.
Precautions For Dyeing Hair During Breastfeeding
Although dyeing hair during breastfeeding does not affect the baby, it is good to observe the following precautions.
1. Choose temporary hair dyes
Temporary hair dyes stay on the hair’s surface and do not enter the hair shaft (3). They could be safer when compared to semi-permanent and permanent hair dyes, which may enter the hair shaft and reach the bloodstream.
2. Use softer colors

Darker colors may contain more coloring agents and other color-fixing compounds that may be harmful. You may pick lighter or softer hair dye tones that may contain less concentration of compounds that enter the bloodstream.
3. Check for potentially harmful ingredients
Check the contents of the hair dye irrespective of dyeing your hair at home or the salon. Permanent hair dyes may more likely contain potentially harmful compounds, such as phenols, aromatic amines, and hydrogen peroxide (3).
Below are some of the potentially harmful compounds that may be found in different types of dyes (4).
- Aromatic amino compounds
- Naphthylamine
- Phenylenediamines
- Toluene
- Ammonia
- Silver
- Mercury
- Arsenic
- Lead
- Bismuth
- Pyrogallol
- Alcohol and its compounds

4. Do a strand test

Apply a small amount of the hair dye on a strand of hair and a small patch of the scalp to check its suitability. Hair dye allergy is not uncommon. The risk may be higher if you choose permanent hair dyes, which may contain paraphenylenediamine (PPD), which may cause allergies in a few people (5). Skin rash, irritation, and itching are common symptoms of an allergic reaction.
5. Dye hair when away from the baby
Dye your hair in a well-ventilated area away from the baby. Even the safest hair dyes may contain volatile compounds, which may irritate the baby’s airways. Make sure you shower and rinse away the applied dye before handling the baby again.
Wash your hairs before breastfeeding your baby. Aroma of hair dye can induce running nose and coughing in your baby. Your baby’s skin is highly sensitive, any contact with hair dye can induce severe allergy in your baby.

Possible Side Effects Of Hair Dye During Breastfeeding

You may experience the following general side effects of hair dye that may not affect breastfeeding and your breastfeeding baby (6).
- Local skin redness
- Itchiness
- Split ends
- Loss of hair’s luster
- Scaling of the scalp
- Hair dryness
- Loss of hair
- Premature hair graying
- Slow hair growth
The side effects may vary based on the type and color of hair dye used. Side effects may more commonly occur with semi-permanent and permanent hair dyes than temporary hair dyes, which may often wash away in a couple of showers.
Possible Alternatives To Hair Dyes
Natural vegetable colors could be safe alternatives to commercial hair dyes. Homemade vegetable dyes will not last very long on the hair. However, homemade vegetable dyes are unlikely to be harmful even if they enter the bloodstream through the hair shaft.
Below are some ideas for homemade vegetable-based dyes that you may pick over commercial, chemical-based dyes.
- Beetroot juice for violet: Blend beetroot pieces and strain the juice. Mix the juice with coconut oil, add a dash of lime juice, and apply it to your hair. You may wear a plastic shower cap on top of it and leave it for an hour. Rinse away with shampoo as usual.

- Coffee extracts for deep brown: Brew crushed roasted coffee beans (not instant coffee) in hot water. Strain the liquid and let it cool. You may add a tablespoon of green tea to the mix to nourish the hair and possibly improve the color’s potency. Mix the coffee mixture with a leave-in type of hair conditioner. Apply it to your hair after a shower, leave it for an hour, and wash it off.
- Carrot juice for orange: Blend carrot pieces, strain the juice, and mix it with a carrier oil, such as coconut oil. Add a bit of lime juice and apply it to your hair. Cover with a plastic shower cap and leave it for an hour. Rinse as usual.
- Black plum paste for purple: Cut out the pulp and skin of black plum (jamun). Blend to make a thick paste. Apply to dry hair, cover with a plastic shower cap, and leave it for an hour. Shower and rinse away thoroughly.

- Sage for light brown: Steep sage dry sage leaves in hot water to make sage tea. Strain the water and let it cool. Rinse your hair with cooled sage tea for a few minutes after a shower. Comb the hair and let them air dry.
- Chamomile tea for yellow: Steep dry chamomile flowers in hot water to make chamomile tea. Brew the flowers for longer to attain a deeper hue. Rinse your hair multiple times with cooled chamomile tea. Pat dry your hair and comb.

- Henna for red: Purchase natural henna powder with no added dyes or chemicals. Mix the powder in water as per instructions on the packet and apply it. Cover the hair with a plastic shower cap. You may leave it for a couple of hours to attain a deeper shade of red. Rinse and wash away later.
You may use a different quantity of vegetables or steep coffee or tea for longer to attain different intensities of hair color. You may also use other bases, such as post-shower hair gels, if you wish to leave the color on your hair for longer.
1. What hair treatment is safe for breastfeeding?
There isn’t enough research to confirm the safety of hair treatments for nursing women. Negligible amounts of the chemicals used in the treatment may enter the bloodstream. Hence, it should not pose any threat to the baby. But, you should consult a doctor about safer alternatives to avoid any potential reactions (7).
2. Can I use hair spray while breastfeeding?
Although there is not enough information about the safety of hairspray while breastfeeding, its use can be one of the reasons for sore nipples. Hence, take necessary precautions while using it (8).
There are no contraindications to using hair dye while breastfeeding. Ensure your hair dye does not include harmful chemicals such as aromatic amino compounds, silver, or mercury. Although small amounts of dying compounds may enter the breast stream, they may not cause any effects on the mother and the breastfed baby. You may try temporary dyes rather than permanent dyes since they may not enter the hair shafts. You may also try natural hair dyes such as vegetable dyes from beetroot extract, coffee extract, or henna.
Key Pointers
- NHS UK shows no contraindications to coloring your hair while breastfeeding.
- Remember to choose temporary hair dyes with softer colors and examine their contents before dying.
- Always wash your hair before nursing and dye it in a well-ventilated environment away from the infant.
- Natural vegetable colors, such as coffee extract and beetroot juice, can be used as safe alternatives to commercial hair dyes.

Breastfeeding and Hair Dye: Is it Safe, What to Avoid & What's OK
As a licensed cosmetologist and a former breastfeeding mom, I get a lot of questions about whether you can color your hair while breastfeeding. My pregnant and new mom clients usually want to know if hair color is safe for breastfeeding moms and what dye is best to use.
In this article, I will provide you with the information you need regarding breastfeeding and hair dye.
This post may contain affiliate links. Full disclosures here.
Can You Dye Your Hair While Breastfeeding?
If you are concerned about how hair color might affect you while breastfeeding, your concerns are valid. After all, hair color can contain some pretty toxic chemicals. Such as ammonia, paraphenylenediamine, titanium dioxide and sodium lauryl sulfate to name a few.
When Can You Dye Your Hair After Pregnancy?
There should be no reason why you would need to wait a specific amount of time to color your hair after pregnancy or breastfeeding as long as you are following some general precautions:
- You are using non-toxic hair color and are in a well-ventilated room.
- You or your stylist are being careful not to allow the hair dye to soak into your skin.
- You are not using powdered bleach lighteners on your scalp.

Is Hair Color Safe for Breastfeeding Moms?
We are regularly advised to be very careful about what we are exposing ourselves to while breastfeeding. This is because some substances can enter a mother’s blood stream and end up in her breast milk. Have you ever had to pump and dump after a series of prescribed medications?
Even so, there are alternative hair dyes that do not contain such toxic ingredients that should be safe to use while breastfeeding and I’ll be sharing some of those options with you further down.
Will Dying Your Hair Affect Breastfeeding?
There is no evidence that hair color, hair products or hair treatments have any effect on a nursing mother’s milk. Even though small amounts of hair color may get on your skin, only small amounts of the chemicals are absorbed into your skin. Meaning that is unlikely it will affect your breast milk.
However, if you’d rather err on the side of caution, limiting your exposure to potentially harmful chemicals while breastfeeding is still a good choice. If you do decide to dye your hair while breastfeeding, you could take an extra precaution and wait a couple hours before nursing your baby again.
Summary
A breastfeeding mother can safely dye her hair as long she is aware that there are some toxic chemicals in most hair dyes. It is best to use a non-toxic hair color in a well-ventilated room and avoid getting the color on your skin as much as possible. Although there is no evidence that hair dye affects breast milk, erring on the side of caution is probably best. Bleaching your hair while breastfeeding is ok when using the lightener in foils and avoiding contact with the scalp.
Best Hair Dye to Use While Breastfeeding
When choosing a hair dye to use while breastfeeding, opt for an ammonia free hair color. Ammonia is typically going to be the most toxic ingredient found in hair color. I’ll be linking to the best brands of hair color to use while breastfeeding in each section.
For Gray Coverage:
If you need to cover gray roots, you will want to use an ammonia free permanent hair dye like this one at Amazon.
If you plan to go to a salon for this hair color treatment, ask your hair colorist to use a deposit only demi-permanent hair color that is opaque enough to blend and cover your gray roots. Demi-permanent hair color is usually ammonia free, making it a safe option for a breastfeeding mom.
You may acutally prefer this look because the regrowth is much less sever and you will be able to go longer inbetween services.
Bleaching Your Hair While Breastfeeding
There are a few things to know and consider when bleaching your hair while breastfeeding, see the following:
- For one, you will want to avoid on-scalp bleach lighteners that can penetrate into the skin. This not only could seep into your bloodstream, but can also cause chemicals burns.
- Using bleach in foils to lighten your hair is best practice for a breastfeeding or pregnant mom. This should be perfectly safe as long you are also in a well ventilated room.
- Ask your colorist if they can use an ammonia free powdered bleach. However, be aware that some ammonia free bleach lighteners can actually damage the hair more.
All-Over Color Refresh:
For moms who just want to refresh their existing hair color and add shine to that dull postpartum hair, try this ammonia free, deposit only shampoo color tint.
P.S. These color gels shampoos are what I would regularly use behind the chair as a hairdresser to tone and refresh my client’s faded color in between color appointments.
A semi-permanent hair dye, like these are also a good hair color option for breastfeeding moms who just want a quick change.
However, take note because a semi-permanent hair color will only deposit color darker than the original color you are starting with. It will not lighten your hair.
What Hair Products to Avoid While Breastfeeding
Are there any other hair products a breastfeeding mom should avoid? Possibly. Even though there is little to no research on what hair products are safe for nursing mothers, there are certain hair products that contain chemicals that are generally recommended to avoid when breastfeeding.

Keratin Hair Treatment While Breastfeeding
It is common for some chemical hair straightening treatments to contain formaldehyde. If you are unsure whether the chemical hair straightener you are considering using has formaldehyde, it may also be listed as methylene glycol, formalin, methylene oxide, paraform, thiazolidinecarboxylic acid.
Keratin treatments, Brazilian blowouts, relaxers and other chemical hair straightening treatments should be avoided while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Instead, opt for a professional flat iron that will give you the silky-smooth hair you desire without the exposure to chemicals. This CHI flat iron is my professional recommendation.
Perms
Perms also contain variations of formaldehyde type ingredients along with ammonia. These chemical agents also have the potential to be harmful to a nursing or pregnant mother.
Another reason to avoid these hair treatments when pregnant or breastfeeding is the often strong and offensive smell they emit.
Perms, straighteners and relaxers in particular often come with a very strong sulfur smell, which could cause extreme illness for a mother’s sensitive nose.
To still enjoy the look of curly, textured hair while pregnant or breastfeeding, use a clamp-free curling wand like this one Bed Head makes.
Some Shampoos
Many self care products contain phthalates such as certain shampoos and conditioners, cosmetics and even fabrics. They are everywhere and we are being exposed to them (mostly unknowingly) all day, everyday.
Accumulated exposure to phthalates have many health consequences for humans. Such as altered development of sex organs, damage to the kidney, liver and lungs as well as low sperm count. ①
My hair care products recommendation for nursing and pregnant women is Surface Hair.
They create environmentally sustainable, phthalate, sulfate and paraban free products that are natural and simple. Surface Hair is the hair care product line I used on all of my clients behind the chair for many years!
Summary
A breastfeeding mother should attempt to avoid most chemical hair treatments, especially those that contain toxic ingredients such as formaldehyde and ammonia. The accumulation and constant exposure to phthalates and other similar compounds could also be damaging to nursing mother’s health.
The Bottom Line
Coloring or bleaching your hair while breastfeeding is generally safe as there is no proof or recorded studies done that have determined otherwise. However, many and most hair dyes, hair care products and chemical hair treatments do contain harmful and sometimes toxic ingredients.
Avoiding prolonged exposure and contact with these substances is most likely the best route to take while breastfeeding. Even though small amounts of chemicals are absorbed through the skin, they can still enter the blood stream and possibly your breast milk.

Is it possible to dye the hair of a nursing mother
Hair coloring is one of the most pleasant rituals of personal care. During pregnancy, many avoid this procedure so as not to harm the fetus. After giving birth, young mothers gradually return to their habits, but many have doubts about hair coloring.
Can I dye my hair while breastfeeding? There are no contraindications and strict prohibitions on the use of paint during breastfeeding. According to the author of scientific publications Jurgen Lademann, when stained, chemicals do not penetrate into the bloodstream and do not affect the composition of breast milk. This was revealed in a study of dermal absorption of hair dye by human skin (in vitro and in vivo).
Slight absorption of substances by the skin does not cause a systemic effect on the human body, so the cosmetic procedure has no contraindications for breastfeeding. There is no evidence that the components of the paint can have any effect on the child. Therefore, there is no reason to refuse hair coloring during breastfeeding.
According to Mother to Baby, it is not known if hair coloring affects a breastfed baby. It is unlikely that a large amount of any chemical passes into breast milk, because very little passes into the blood of a nursing mother. In most cases, hair dyes or other cosmetic hair chemicals do not cause you to stop breastfeeding.
Contact of dyes with the baby's skin, toxic smell of paint may be dangerous. Therefore, it is important to be in different rooms with the child during the procedure and avoid contact as long as the product remains on the hair.
In addition, it is important to follow a number of safety rules and choose gentle cosmetics that contain as few dangerous or questionable chemicals as possible. Safe staining methods should be chosen and all necessary protective accessories should be used. Taking precautions will help you avoid unpleasant surprises and protect yourself and your child from potential risks. If you have any doubts about the use of cosmetics or have had an allergy to paint in the past, it is better to consult a doctor.

A safer option would be dyeing in the salon, where the specialist is responsible for following the instructions. M.D. Poonam Sachdev recommends that you adhere to the following safe dyeing rules:
- Do not dye your hair if there is irritation or wounds on the scalp.
- Do an allergy test.
- Do not mix different coloring products.
- Follow product instructions carefully. Keep the dye on your hair for as long as indicated in the instructions.
- Wear gloves.
- Carry out the procedure in a room that is well ventilated.
- Do not eat while painting.
- Rinse the scalp thoroughly after coloring to ensure that no traces of color remain.
Choose coloring techniques that do not involve dyeing the skin. Highlighting, toning are among such techniques. During highlighting, a special cap is used, which prevents the cosmetic product from getting on the skin.
What hair dye can be used for breastfeeding mothers? Permanent dye provides the best results, but it's not the only color option. For safer nursing care, choose a semi-permanent hair color without ammonia or bleach, says Valencia Higuera. Semi-permanent paint does not last as long, but it reduces exposure to chemicals and toxins. Other safer options include natural plant dyes and henna hair dyes.
Hairdresser with a set of tools: FreepikIs it possible to dye hair with tonic during breastfeeding? There are no contraindications to the use of tonic during breastfeeding. You can tint your hair during the GV period if you follow the recommended precautions. Tonic does not contain ammonia, therefore belongs to one of the more gentle coloring options, notes beauty and fashion author Dori Zayas.
Hair coloring while breastfeeding does not pose a risk to mother and baby. It is enough to follow a few simple rules for the cosmetic procedure to be successful and safe. Choose botanical products, wear gloves, and keep track of time to get the best results.

Tips on how to dye your hair and how to get rid of hair loss while breastfeeding
What you need to know?
Hair loss, when they constantly climb, after passing through childbirth is a common occurrence. After 6 months the mother's body, as a rule, is completely restored. You should know that staining can worsen the condition of the strands, but it will not harm the baby. Chemical elements do not penetrate into the blood and do not enter directly into milk, which means that the "breast" drink will be completely safe. But it is best to use a non-harmful, ammonia-free composition.
Many paints are allowed to be used while breastfeeding. Ammonia-free formulations do not produce a pungent odor. Vitamin substances will have a therapeutic effect after the master paints the curls. A woman can safely continue feeding and use useful formulations to color the desired area. And if you need to paint a large area with aggressive compounds, then the recommendation of a specialist is tedious
Any cosmetic preparations after the birth of a child can cause a reaction in the mother. Therefore, before deciding whether to go for hair treatment while breastfeeding, it is recommended to do a sensitivity test.
Grandmothers' stories that it is forbidden to dye strands and that it will harm such a process as breastfeeding a child is a myth! A hairdresser can dye strands without negatively affecting the composition of breast milk. The smell after painting does not affect either the hairdresser or the woman who continues to breastfeed. You also don't have to pump before going to the salon to color your hair, or wait a while to feed your baby. Breastfeeding is allowed immediately after the salon.
Hormonal changes
During breastfeeding, estrogen levels decrease, which affects the hair structure in a negative way. They begin to fall out, climb in large numbers. If this requires coloring, then the hair, which is already brittle and constantly climbing, can become even more overdried. It is better to abandon aggressive oxidizing agents that are used for clarification. If the loss is associated with hormonal changes in a woman, then such staining will not be able to stop this natural process.
But there shouldn't be any reason for mom to worry. After a few months, the condition of the hair will return to the previous one. She can easily paint in any color and delight the baby, giving him a "breast" drink.
Color shade surprises
As for the unexpected shade that can appear after coloring is completed, this is a myth. Hair falls out and begins to climb immediately after childbirth, under the influence of hormones, they can change elasticity, growth rate and shade itself.
So, for example, the old paint will not give the same shade as before. Experienced craftsmen take this into account and select suitable products with the right shade.
Safety for the baby
The most important question that interests every mother is whether dyeing is safe for a child who is infancy and consumes milk? Scientists have proven that the substances of any agent do not enter the milk, that is, they do not accumulate in the mammary gland. The danger from staining can only be for a woman who has a reaction to one or another component in the composition.
For example, the same natural dyes can provoke a painful reaction, since the mother's immunity is significantly reduced. Therefore, in order not to put yourself at risk, you should conduct a test. In each package of paint there is an instruction and it says how to conduct a reaction test. The breastfeeding period is an important time, so you should not forget about safety.
A small danger of the coloring pigment is that when inhaled, a pungent strong odor can enter the lungs, and from there it spreads to all organs. The amount of harmful substances in a one-time coloring with paint during breastfeeding is insignificant.
In all other respects, the procedure for painting curls is not contraindicated when breastfeeding is carried out. Just don't take your baby with you. An unpleasant aroma during painting is difficult even for adults to endure, and for an infant who has a keen sense of smell, such a smell may be too much.
Tip: paint in a well ventilated room. It is enough to feed the baby, who has infancy, immediately before the procedure, put him to bed, dye his hair, wash off the paint thoroughly, and then take a walk in the fresh air.
What should I do if my hair falls out?
There are several secrets of what to do if the hair falls out badly. It is forbidden to use a perm during the period when the hair falls out, there is no need to resort to dyeing, which will only aggravate the situation. You should take paints without ammonia or tint balms. Funds such should be only proven brands. Dry without a hair dryer, forget about straighteners and curling irons, as well as varnishes. But you also need to purchase vitamins for mothers who give their children a "breast" drink - milk. Now you know what to do if strands are falling.
