Ask the Doctor 1Q:  I am pregnant, and I went to the salon and they told me not to color my hair when I’m pregnant.  I am turning grey and it does not look good. Are they correct? HELP!

A:  While many women choose to avoid any possible toxins during pregnancy, and some are very well proven that you must avoid, like alcohol, smoking, and many medications, some of the wives tales are not as clear.  When you review the literature, there is no clear association between coloring your hair and birth defects, so we will leave it to you to make the decision.
