Q27
What scalp cleansing is suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
As a general rule, basic cleansing is usually possible. Use caution with or avoid minimally invasive procedures, delivery of strongly active ingredients, and certain essential oils. Ask a doctor before using topical ingredients during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
When choosing a provider, check for written restrictions, a clear answer by phone before your visit, and advice that does not gloss over your pregnancy or breastfeeding status to make a sale. Tell the provider how far along you are or that you are breastfeeding so each service can be assessed.
