Lindsay Lohan Goes Back to Basic
Updated Feb 13, 2008 at 0:2 EST.

This seems to be the season of hair color changes for celebrities. Twenty-one year old actress and singer, Lindsay Lohan is the latest celeb to have changed hair color in the last few months. She was seen in Los Angeles over the weekend sans her blonde locks. The actress has apparently gone back to her darker roots and had her hair dyed brunette. The actress who has been in and out of rehab recently took the new look to new heights by also going without what has become her trademark leggings.

Doctors differ in their opinions on this one. Some feel the strong fumes and the dye coming in contact with the scalp may be harmful to pregnancy. But several studies have provided no conclusive evidence that this is true, or not. The scalp absorbs a small amount of chemical, but many doctors suggest playing it safe by not coloring your hair in your first trimester. If you're still worried, you can use vegetable dyes or get highlights only.

Hair coloring products generally fall into four categories: temporary, semipermanent, deposit only/demi, and permanent. All these hair color products, except for temporary color, suggest a patch test before application to determine if the client is allergic to the product. "Hair lightening," referred to as "bleaching" or "decolorizing," is a chemical process involving the diffusion of the natural color pigment or artificial color from the hair. This process is central to both permanent hair color and hair lighteners.
