Pregnancy safe beauty products can be super difficult and confusing. I have an entire guide devoted to what products are safe to use while pregnant including information on what ingredients to avoid while pregnant and a huge list of pregnancy safe skincare products.
Here you’ll find pregnancy safe products from IGK Hair as of 8/14/2022. If it is not safe, I’ll tell you why. All of the products meet my pregnancy safe criteria. Note I will link to every product directly to avoid confusion. You’ll know exactly which product I mean.

Hello! Why is First Class IGK Dry Shampoo safe and not Direct Flight IGK Dry Shampoo for pregnancy and nursing? I thought Direct Flight would be safer since it is not as strong as First Class.
It has nothing to do with how “strong” they are, it’s because they added a chemical sunscreen to direct flight, likely to increase shelf life.
Hello! Can you review the IGK Beach Club texture spray? Ingredients:
Hydrofluorocarbon 152a, Dimethyl Ether, Alcohol Denat., VP/VA Copolymer, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Extract, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Zeolite, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, PEG-12 Dimethicone, Amodimethicone, PVP, Phenethyl Benzoate, Polyisobutene, Aqua/Water/Eau, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Fragrance, Benzyl Salicylate, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Coumarin.
If the above spray is not used at the roots, only on the shaft of the hair, would it be safe?
It has salicylate and chemical sunscreens, so ok for nursing but not pregnancy. And yes, if not at the roots it’s fine.

Hi! Thank you for all that you do! I was wondering is the IGK Good Behavior Spirulina Protein smoothing spray safe? Thank you!
As mentioned in the post, I need a full ingredient list to review your product. More info here: why I need an ingredient list to comment on product safety. Note, I do not follow links from readers, I need the actual list. Thanks!
Keep in mind, you only need to screen products that you apply to your scalp/roots. I on purpose didn’t waste time screening products that aren’t meant to be used that way, which is why I haven’t reviewed that one. Info here: Hair products to worry about
