Can I perm my hair when I have my period?

Perming hair is one of the methods adopted by modern people to pursue beauty. Perming hair uses the plasticity of hair to create various styles and add luster to the image. However, perming hair, a method that uses physical principles, is very popular in life. However, since the hair is directly connected to the body, perming hair will inevitably have an impact on the body, and the timing of perming hair must be accurate. Let’s take a look at whether you can perm your hair during your period?

You can do your hair during menstruation. If you have heavy menstrual flow, it is best not to take Chinese medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, as this can easily cause excessive menstruation. Hair is done with some potions.

The principles and harms of perming: The ammonium sulfonic acid (alkaline) in special perming solutions enters the cortex through the hair cuticles on the surface of the hair, changes the protein chain structure of the hair and forms curls.

During the perming process, the alkaline components and oxidation in the solution will damage the scales on the surface of the hair. Leaving the internal structure of the hair unprotected will cause the loss of internal moisture and nutrients, which is harmful to the hair, scalp and hair follicles. It will more or less denature the hair's keratin, making the hair prone to yellowing, brittle, dull and inelastic.

Do not perm your hair too frequently, no more than four times a year; perming your hair for pregnant women will affect the health of the fetus, so it is not suitable; little girls have delicate scalps, and perming can easily break their scalps and cause bacterial infections; people with dry scalp should not perm their hair often. Therefore, perming should be done according to one's actual situation.

The principles and harms of hair dyeing

Hair dyeing uses the alkaline ingredients in the dye to open the hair cuticles on the surface of the hair (the scales on the hair open when they encounter alkali), allowing the artificial pigment to enter the cortex of the hair and combine with part of the natural pigment to form the desired color. When dyeing hair, ammonia in the dye has a strong destructive effect on the hair scales on the surface of the hair. If not properly maintained, it will cause the hair scales to fall off, moisture loss, roughness and brittleness, lack of luster and inelasticity. Many people are troubled by dyed hair that lacks luster or has difficulty maintaining color.
