Is Keratin Hair Straightening Treatment Safe During 13 Weeks Pregnancy?

Hi, I am 13 weeks pregnant and would like to know if it's safe to get the keratin hair straightening treatment done? Are there any risks involved? I used to get it done once a year before my pregnancy. Now I am not sure if it's safe or now. Could you please help

Hi,
Keratin hair straightening will not affect your pregnancy . You can get it done . Just do not apply any formaldehyde which is used sometimes during straightening though no known side effects in pregnancy are known but still to be on safer side.
