Keratin therapy(hair) whil breastfeeding
Hi I breastfeed approx 8-10 times a day to my 6weeks old. I intend to take keratin therapy on my hair, the chemicals used includes formaldehyde and the procedure takes around 90 mins or longer. It is done half cm away from the scalp but I would be inhaling the chemicals while till the procedure gets over.Is this harmful? If yes, what if I take precautions, like maybe requesting more gap away from scalp and expressin bf not using, instead use top up formula for a part of day or full day. Can I?
