When it came time for mama-to-be Amanda Parrish to learn the sex of her baby, she took a creative approach. The expectant mom went to the hair salon, and asked stylist Amber Sacrison to dye her hair pink or blue, based on the ultrasound result.

Sacrison posted a video of the gender reveal on her Facebook page , where it's now going viral, with over eight million views. As the video shows, the mom and dad were surprised and overjoyed to learn they would be having a baby boy.

In response to concerns about the safety of using hair dye during pregnancy, Sacrison commented that the mom got the go-ahead from her OB-GYN. "Color molecules are too large to enter blood stream to affect baby," she wrote.

In another comment, she said Parrish gave birth to a healthy baby boy on March 8.

Congratulations to the new parents!
