Love Island star hits back after facing backlash for dyeing hair while pregnant

Love Island star Jess Shears has hit back at trolls after she was told she shouldn't be dyeing her hair while pregnant.

Earlier this month, Jess and husband Dom Leaver announced they're expecting their first child together.

The couple found love in the villa in 2017 and got engaged just three months after leaving the show.

And despite their fair share of doubters with people skeptical that their love would last, the couple got married  on the Greek Island of Mykonos in 2018.

However, Jess has been forced to respond to haters who slammed her for colouring her hair.

According to OK Magazine , one fan wrote on her snap of her new balayage hair style: “You’re doing that when you’re pregnant?,” alongside a shocked face emoji.

A second wrote: “You can’t dye ur hair hair while ur pregnant.”

Jess hit back by sharing a google search of herself asking “dying (sic) hair while pregnant”, writing: “For anyone commenting or messaging me about dying my hair. Also it’s balayage so was not on my skin.”

The NHS recommends wearing gloves and leaving hair dye on for the minimum time and says the chemical in permanent and semi-permanent hair dyes are not highly toxic.

They say: “Most research, although limited, shows it’s safe to colour your hair while pregnant.”
