I`m not pregnant yet, but thinking ahead I want to do one last "permanent" dye before I sink into deep paranoia about hair color for nine months. I had a deep red (a la X-Files Scully) from Redken Shades but my roots are dishwater blonde so we tried to lighten it with a foil followed by an all over kind of strawberry blonde. My hair now is dark blonde roots + a yellow/orange toned mix that I alternately think is okay or hate depending on my mood (well, the blonde stuff does make me look younger). Anyway, looking for suggestions for what I can do, either to make it look okay enough to live with it for 9 months of roots or some "safe" idea where I could add a temporary or semi-permanent to the roots while pregnant. By the way, I loved Shades because it kept my hair so healthy, but I moved and my new stylist does not use Shades; she tried an auburn demi on my hair and it washed out within days and my hair is starting to get unhealthy between that and the foil. By the way, I`m not even sure if Shades is a permanent or semi-permanent and no one can tell me if it`s safe in pregnancy (other stylists suggested it`s okay as long as I choose lighter colors?!).
