JZ, I think they recommend no hair dye in the first trimester, and after that only things like highlights, that don't actually touch your scalp.
I had my first gray hair in high school.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Also, I should add that Hec's gray and Katerina Bee's gray and Anne W's ultracool salt-and-pepperness are all most excellent. My gray hair, however, is in scraggy patches at the temples that look, frankly, kind of sad.
My mom had the loveliest white wings at her temples for years before she started really graying up, and my dad went beautifully salt-and-pepper in his mid-50s. Mine, stupidly, resembles neither. It's just nast.

OBs vary on it. Mine had no real opinion, other than going with what I was comfortable with. Contrary to popular opinion, the fumes are considered the more harmful aspect, not the potential slight amount of chemicals through the scalp.

I think completely gray hair or salt-and-pepper hair often looks great. My hair, as became depressingly obvious as it grew back in, is about half gray and half dark blonde, or, as the friend who colors my hair described it, "the color of a rat."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I agree, Ginger. If my hair would go pretty!gray, I would let it. But blondes do not gray well. It's this weird, yellowed-with-age, gray thing. No, thanks.

Redheads can have the same problem. My grandmother was a dark auburn and her "white" hair wasn't really white when you looked closely. She always wore it up in a bun, so it was kinda hard to tell, close to the scalp seemed to be the whitest.

My hair used to be blonde. It looks okay gray.
