     It has chemical sunscreens, so ok for nursing but not pregnancy. But read the bit under which hair products to worry about, you shouldn’t be applying a finishing spray to your roots. This is the kind of thing that should go all over your hair, the hair shafts but not the roots/scalp. So you should be ok.

     Ok for nursing but not pregnancy due to salicylate

     You’re not really meant to apply this to the scalp (which is why I haven’t reviewed it), info here: Hair products to worry about

     This has salicylate and chemical sunscreens and is ok for nursing but not pregnancy.
     I didn’t screen it as you only need to worry about products applied to your roots, and this product isn’t meant to be applied there. Info here: Hair products to worry about

     Thank you SO much for creating this post!! I recently saw a TikTok video bashing sodium benzoate which is found in many beauty products including Drybars – I am wondering your thoughts are on that ingredient during pregnancy? I am seeing conflicting things online on whether it’s safe or not. Thank you!

       Christine said:

       I basically don’t trust anything I see on TikTok. You can pretty much find info out there about avoiding everything possible, much of which isn’t based on much. It’s not considered an ingredient to avoid by the medical community. My list of ingredients that I screen out is very conservative and it’s here: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy

       Hi there! Hot Toddy is a dry spray heat protectant. If we don’t get it on our scalp, is it safe to use (even though it has chemical sunscreen and salicylate)? Thanks!

     Don’t forget that you only need to worry about hair products that you’re applying to your scalp. (which you likely aren’t a texturizing spray) That makes life much easier if you don’t need to screen a product’s ingredients 🙂

       Hello!

       This is a more general question and I totally understand if you are unable to answer. What would your thoughts be on getting occasional blowouts at the Drybar salon? While it is possible that they may use “unsafe for pregnancy” shampoo during the service, would this be a significant concern as it would old be isolated rather than daily use? Looking at your list, it seems like it may be difficult to get a blowout there using only products in the pregnancy safe category. Thank you so much!!!

         This discussion might help some: You’ve been using a product with a “bad” ingredient
         But I think that we don’t really have any info at all about safety, and that includes both one time or longer use. I think it’s up to you what you want to risk.

      Also, the Color Wow product works better for me (I have both)
