Pregnancy and hair treatments: talk to your doctor first
- Before any salon treatment, talk to your doctor or midwife and bring the name of the exact product.
- Keratin, nanoplastia and hair botox are sealed with a flat iron at high heat. Discuss them with your doctor before booking.
- If you prefer to wait: there are salon services without a flat iron and simple at-home care for dryness and frizz.
Before you book: three steps
- 1Ask your stylist which exact product they plan to use (brand and name)
- 2Show it to your doctor or midwife and ask whether — and when — the service is appropriate for you
- 3Tell your stylist you are pregnant before any service, even a simple one
Treatments with and without a flat iron
| How it works | Before booking | |
|---|---|---|
| Keratin, nanoplastia, hair botox | Applied, then sealed with a flat iron at high heat | Talk to your doctor or midwife first, with the product name |
| Cold Recovery (Felps RP Reconstruction Premium Kit) | Reconstruction without a flat iron; an infrared tool is optional (it only speeds up the service); the finishing step with heat can be skipped | Ask your doctor too; ask the salon for the version without heat |
| Felps SOS Extreme Repair Mask in the salon | A repair mask, no flat iron; results last 3–4 weeks | Tell your stylist you are pregnant |
| Trim, mask, gentle styling | No chemical service | Tell your stylist you are pregnant |
Care at home
Many people notice their hair changes during pregnancy — drier, frizzier, or more sensitive scalp. At home, a sulfate-free shampoo with a nourishing conditioner or a mask helps with dryness and frizz. Apply a mask on clean hair after shampoo, leave 5–10 minutes and rinse. Skip any product whose scent bothers you.
For stylists: ask every client about pregnancy before a chemical service, offer the options without a flat iron, and always work in a well-ventilated room, following the product instructions.
After pregnancy
When to go back to keratin, nanoplastia or hair botox — after delivery and while breastfeeding — is also a question for your doctor or midwife. When you are ready, our treatment guide helps you choose, and the salon map shows salons near you that work with our products.
