Cysteine-based hair treatments and hair botox are generally free from formaldehyde, making them safer alternatives. However, during breastfeeding, it's advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to salon chemicals due to limited safety data.
Next Steps
Postpone chemical treatments until breastfeeding is complete if possible. Meanwhile, opt for nourishing, non-chemical hair masks or keratin-rich conditioners.
Health Tips
Always check product ingredients and inform your stylist you're breastfeeding. A patch test and doctor’s review of specific brands is recommended.
