Extensions during pregnancy - allowed or not?

Pregnancy is a special time - both physically and emotionally. During this phase, many women ask themselves what they can still allow their bodies (and themselves).
A frequent question in the salon is:
Are extensions allowed during pregnancy or is it better to avoid them?

The short answer is:
👉 Yes, extensions are generally permitted during pregnancy.
However, there are a few important points that you should definitely bear in mind.

What changes to the hair during pregnancy?

Hormonal changes can significantly alter the hair:

• Many women lose less hair
• the hair appears fuller and stronger
• for some it becomes finer or greasier
• the scalp may react more sensitively

These changes are completely normal - but they influence, how extensions fit and how they feel.

Are extensions dangerous for the baby?

No.
Extensions - regardless of whether they are bondings, tapes or clip-ins - have no influence on the unborn child.

Important to know:

• Extensions work externally
• they do not enter the body
• they have no influence on the hormone balance

👉 There are No medical indicationsthat hair extensions are harmful to the baby.
