i want highlights!?
ok, i avoided bleaching my hair during my whole pregnancy because i wasnt sure about the rules with the chemicals and stuff so we just did a peroxide free haircolor close to my natural color to minmize upkeep . Well my beautiful son was born on July 15 and i am ready ready ready for a change! I was thinking of adding some chunky highlights but since i am breastfeeding i am not sure what i can and cant do now. Also i would have to take him with me to the hair appointment and wonder whether i should be concerned with the fumes. I could keep him in his carseat a short distance away and make sure he is fed and content but if he should happen to wake up while i have a head full of chemicals what do i do then? am i doomed to sport this drab head of hair until he can sit with someone else during my appointment?
I remember what this was like! The first time I went to get my hair done, I had my husband come with me and I nursed my baby right before the appointment. Then I sent my husband and baby down the street to a coffee shop while I got my hair done. If my son got hungry, my husband knew to bring him right back and I’d nurse him and then send my husband on his merry way until I was finished.
The best part was that I could get my hair done in peace! If you can get your significant other or a friend or family member to help you at this first hair appointment, you’ll enjoy the experience more. And it’ll keep the baby out of the salon so you don’t worry about the fumes.
I wish I had that help when I went to the dentist the first time! My son screamed while the hygienist was scraping my teeth. I couldn’t wait to get out of there!
Good luck and please don’t worry about getting your hair done. You’ll feel more human again!
