Q24
How should I choose scalp care while planning a pregnancy?
Use three principles: ask for a complete ingredient list and reject claims of a “secret formula”; tell the provider that you are planning a pregnancy and ask which ingredients or services to avoid; and consult an obstetrician or dermatologist when unsure.
A cautious choice while planning pregnancy is basic cleansing or hydration only, avoiding minimally invasive services and procedures that deliver active ingredients into the scalp. These principles apply when comparing any provider.
