The Great Debate: Is Hair Colour Safe During Pregnancy?
When you’re pregnant, you have to say goodbye to some of your favourite things: sushi, wine, and retinol-based skincare products. But, do you really have to take a break from your colourist? We chatted with COLOR.ME by KEVIN.MURPHY Global Design Director Kate Reid to find out what she has to say about the topic.
"One of the first things I found myself researching when I found I was pregnant (I am currently 22 weeks) was what can and can’t I do, eat and what next? Anxiety kicked in, especially when it comes to my beauty regimens (especially maintaining my blonde!)
Fairly limited information is to be found but research indicates both semi and permanent colours are not highly toxic and are safe to use during pregnancy. But with such limited information available, what does one do about their hair colour? Which products are safe? Each colour brand is made differently and some are safer than others.
Looking to celebrities like the Kardashians, at a distance they didn’t seem to stop getting Botox and facial fillers and their hair colour always looks fresh. You begin to question everything. What is okay and what will harm the baby? The truth is, it is very confusing and there is conflicting information out there.

"Sweetheart" Hair Is the Dreamiest Color For February
Valentine's Day date? Nah, we've found a dreamy hair color that'll make you want to skip the dinner on Feb. 14 and opt for a day at the salon instead. Introducing "sweetheart" hair: the adorable hair trend that features shades of pink with swirls of purple and gold, and it's as romantic as it is fun. Plus, since the candy love hearts aren't available this year, sweetheart hair is the next best thing to satisfy your craving.
The color was created by Kate Reid, the design director for Color Me by Kevin Murphy, as an intense rose-pink shade that works with both cool and warm skin tones. Just like Valentine's Day and candy hearts, you can tailor a "call me" or "kiss me" hue just how you like it.
Whether you want a short and sweet duration of pink dye or want the color to last until Spring and beyond, "sweetheart" hair is easy to tailor to your lifestyle. Reid suggested that if you want your hair to last for February and beyond, adding the Kevin Murphy Colouring Angels is like adding lip gloss to the hair; it adds shine and maintains tone.

"Tinsel" Hair Is the Hottest Holiday Trend — and No, It's Not Tacky in the Slightest
Tinsel hair is here, and it's as stylish as it is fun. No, it doesn't involve adding actual tinsel to your hair, so before you roll your eyes at another impossible-to-wear hair color trend, let us explain.
The color mimics the effect of ice by using thin strips of sparkling shades to create a supershiny finish. The fun trend was created by Kate Reid, the global design director for Color.Me by Kevin Murphy, and she gave us the scoop on the subtly festive hue that "embodies sparkle and shine in every way." She said the tinsel trend is perfect for blondes, as it really enhances the shade. But how does this differ from dip dye? Reid explained: "Dip dye and ombré is where the color is positioned," whereas tinsel hair is much more about the reflective sparkle left. "I like to merge shades and place them anywhere in the hair that embraces and enhances natural shine and highlights."
If you're intrigued to try this at your next salon appointment, Reid suggests asking for "a reflective color that enhances the light and gives your hair more natural shine," as well as incorporating a metallic tone. And if you want to maintain the color at home, Kevin Murphy Coloring Angels refresh, enhance shine, and give the hair a glossy finish.
Keep reading to see other takes on the trend, and get that salon appointment scheduled.

Modern techniques have made it so that you can dye your hair and achieve pretty much any color, design, or finish you want. From rainbow prism hair to locks that glitter, seemingly nothing is off-limits. Which is why this 2018 tinsel hair color trend, which might actually be prettier than a fully trimmed tree, doesn't necessarily come as a surprise, but is a welcomed gift all the same.
If you're looking for a hair color that feels seasonally festive you really don't have to look far. From cranberry red to flannel hair (yes, really), hues that reference this time of the year are pretty abundant, all things considered. But tinsel hair? It boasts something a little special. Just the mere mentioning of the holiday décor favorite brings a certain glittery magic to mind. It's a color that feels extra fresh and playfully festive and and way more rare than any other cleverly named variation of red or brown or blonde out there, so if you're looking for a holiday look that really rocks, you might have just found it.
Created by Kate Reid, expert hair colorist and COLOR.ME by KEVIN.MURPHYDesign Director, the hue boasts that same icy shimmer as tinsel and has a similarly silver quality. It's got that ever-changing finish that you can't put your finger on or accurately describe and looks like something straight out of Narnia. In short, it rocks.
