Safe alternative way to highlight my hair while pregnant?

I know there is no conclusive evidence on whether hair products are harmful or not when you are pregnant, but I don't want to take any chances. I was wondering if there are any natural alternatives to getting salon highlights. Does lemon juice really work? Will it damage my hair really bad? My hair is light blond now and my dark blonde roots are showing. Is there anything I can do that doesn't use chemicals?Safe alternative way to highlight my hair while pregnant?
Highlights are supposed to be relatively safe, compared to coloring all of your hair. Your scalp is not as immersed with chemicals as it is when you dye all of your hair.





With that said, I am 5 months pregnant and I tend to avoid perms, dyes, highlights, even nail polish. But I'm a little extreme.





There are natural ways to highlight your hair, depending on its current color. For light hair, use chamomile or rhubarb. To add dark rich highlights to dark hair, use cinnamon sticks, sage, or lavender. For red highlights, use dry hibiscus flowers or tea bags with hibiscus.Safe alternative way to highlight my hair while pregnant?
they do say highlights are actually better than hairdye because the highlights do not actually touch your scalp but I do understand not taking the chance. Yes lemon juice is a natural hair lightener and it will work but I dont know how successful it will be to lighten roots--i think it will only bring out your natural highlights. why dont you try dying your hair with a non permanent hair dye that is a little darker than your natural color so you dont have to maintain the roots during your pregnancy. The non permanent is ok to use because there is no ammonia but check with your doc--mine said it was fine to use.
