My roots are showing and I want to dye my hair; is it okay to use hair dye while breastfeeding?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Hair dyeing while breastfeeding is generally considered safe. The amount of dye entering the bloodstream from the scalp is too small to reach breast milk in significant quantities. To be extra reassuring you can: choose chemical-free (ammonia-free, paraben-free) dyes, apply dye only to roots rather than the whole head, do the process in a well-ventilated space, and rinse your hair thoroughly after dyeing. If you're very concerned or notice any reaction in your baby, consult your pediatrician.
