Hi Miss Alliah,
Welcome to healthcare Magic. I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.
The chemicals used in hair XXXXXXX are not very toxic. There are not many studies done on this subject. The limited research results show that it is safe to color the hair during pregnancy.
As you are now in the seventh month of pregnancy , baby's organs are fully formed. You can use the gift card to color your hair. It is wise to expose the hair to colour for minimum amount of time and rinse the hair thoroughly after that.
I hope this helps.
If you have further concerns, do write to me. I will be happy to answer.
With best wishes,
Dr Ramadevi Wani
