Answer
I haven't seen any research that says hair dye or permanent solutions cause
teratogenic effects. However, I recommend waiting until after the first
trimester. If you do choose to color your hair or get a permanent, always
use these products in well-ventilated areas and try to keep the product
from getting on your scalp or skin.
