How long does it take for hair dye to enter breast milk?

Ten months of pregnancy is a very tiring process. After giving birth, many women, regardless of the fact that they are still breastfeeding, usually go to the barber shop to dye their hair. Some breastfeeding mothers dye their hair because of gray hair, and some do it because they love beauty. However, it is generally not recommended to dye your hair during breastfeeding. Hair dye contains many additives. If you dye your hair, the hair dye will directly enter the breast milk and endanger the baby's health.

How long does it take for hair dye to enter breast milk?

There is no way to estimate how long it takes for hair dye to enter breast milk. This mainly depends on the woman's own physical condition and the properties of the hair dye. However, it is recommended that women do not dye their hair while breastfeeding.

Hair dye contains a large amount of chemical substances which are easily absorbed by the human body. When the harmful substances in hair dye enter the body and contaminate breast milk, it can easily pose a threat to the health of the baby. If this continues for a long time, it can easily lead to accumulated poisoning. The baby may experience symptoms of poisoning such as dizziness, headache, lack of energy, and weakness in the limbs. Therefore, it is not recommended for breastfeeding women to dye their hair.

Breastfeeding women should maintain a healthy lifestyle, avoid contact with substances that are harmful to the baby, such as tobacco, alcohol, and chemicals, and ensure a light and nutritionally balanced diet to promote the healthy growth of the baby.

The dangers of dyeing hair during breastfeeding

Harm to mother:

1. Dyeing your hair during breastfeeding will aggravate hair loss. Although hair loss is an inevitable phenomenon during breastfeeding, the situation will gradually improve. If you dye your hair during breastfeeding, it will increase the possibility of damaging the basic hair tissue and accelerate the extent and scope of hair loss.

2. Dyeing your hair during breastfeeding may cause cancer. During the breastfeeding period, mothers' resistance is relatively low and their bodies have not fully recovered. If there are quality problems with the hair dye, it is likely to cause a series of diseases to mothers, such as skin allergies, breast cancer, skin cancer, etc.

Harm to baby:

1. The risk of young children developing leukemia increases;

2. The baby's skin is delicate and its resistance is very weak. After dyeing, the mother's hair will inadvertently touch the baby's body, hair, and face, which may cause allergic reactions in the baby and cause various diseases.

3. The chemicals used in hair dyeing are harmful to the human body. When the mother dyes her hair, the chemicals will penetrate into the body, causing toxins to be produced in the body. The decomposed breast milk will also contain this ingredient, which will have a certain impact on the baby's health if eaten;

4. Because the chemicals used in hair dyeing are harmful to the mother's body, it will cause the hormone regulation function to be disordered, affect the secretion of breast milk, and lead to serious consequences such as premature weaning.
