My hair is getting messy and I feel like doing hair rebonding. Has anyone heard of any risk in doing it?

Each type of hair is considered to have a natural bond, such as, some are curly whereas some are wavy which gives the hair its physical quality. Re-bonding breaks your hair structure with the use of cream softeners or relaxant. Then a neutralizer is used which bonds the structure again making your hair look straight. In simple words, re-bonding treatment modifies your natural hair structure and restructures it. Is it safe to have this chemical hair treatment done when you are carrying? The following pros and cons might be helpful. Pros: Hair treatments are not completely dangerous. Health experts recommend, any chemical treatment during pregnancy must be administered with proper guidance and care. Yes, it is true that any chemical used for hair re-bonding is absorbed by your body through her skin. Your scalp absorbs a minimal amount and this minimal amount does not create a problem for your baby. Though the fixation solutions may irritate your scalp, but it will not affect the other areas of your body. Cons: There is not much evidence that hair bonding treatments are completely safe for you or your growing baby. But do refrain from any kind of chemical based hair treatments till the second trimester. Due to your hormonal changes, your hair might not behave as it used to be pre-pregnancy. It would be advisable, not to experiment with your hair at this time. The effects of these treatments would not stay for too long and nor even hold too well. Some experts even recommend refraining from the use of any relaxing agents that has chemical lye. As such, these contents can irritate your scalp and can even cause you hair damage. The strong odour from lye bases contents can make you feel dizzy and nauseous. Hence, it is risky for you and your precious baby.
