Why can't you wash your hair during menstruation?

Women's menstrual period is more sensitive. The most important thing at this time is to keep warm and not catch a cold. Use hot water to wash your hands and face as much as possible, even in summer. It is okay to wash your hair, but it is best not to wash it on the first day of your period, because washing your hair will have obvious irritation to the hair. If you wash your hair at this time, even if you use boiling water, your head cannot be guaranteed to be in water all the time.
