Bleaching hair does involve exposure to chemical compounds but there is no categorical evidence that hair bleaching is not safe as long as the bleach is applied professionally. To minimise chemical exposure, ensure proper ventilation, and avoid direct contact of bleach with the scalp. Waiting until after the first trimester of pregnancy will limit any potential risks further. Consult an obstetrician for advice on a case by case basis.
Hair bleaching is best carried out by a professional to ensure even results and to minimise hair damage or irritation to skin. If you bleach hair at home, choose a high quality bleach powder and be sure to follow manufacturer instructions. Start by mixing the bleach in a non-metallic bowl. Apply bleach to the ends of the hair first and after all lengths are covered, apply bleach to the roots. Monitor the colour change frequently, being sure to check at least once every 5 minutes to avoid over processing. Thoroughly rinse with luke warm water.
Bleaching of hair is permanent and will last as long as it takes for the bleached hair to grow out. The colour of the bleached hair might fade based on environmental factors and require touch ups to maintain the desired level of lightness.
