May 26, 2006, Newsletter Issue #104: Perm and Pregnancy

Tip of the Week

A lot of people ask us if we feel itīs safe to perm during pregnancy. The answer is yes, if by perm you mean relaxing in any way with any hydroxide based relaxer and not perming with rods using a thio based product. By their nature hydroxides are inorganic, meaning they donīt off gas or have volatile compounds in them so we feel they are safe to use during pregnancy, especially with our off scalp technique. Products containing thiosī or other volatile compounds on the other hand we usually donīt usually recommend at this time because they do off gas.
