Let’s learn about the dangers of doing hair during menstruation.

1. Can I do my hair during my period?

It is best not to do your hair during menstruation.

Whether it is perming or dyeing your hair, these perming and dyeing agents have a certain impact on the human body. Women's body resistance decreases during menstruation, making them more vulnerable to harm.

2. What are the dangers of doing hair during menstruation?

Women are weaker during their menstrual period and have poor resistance. When doing hair, the chemical components in these hair dyes and hair perms can easily penetrate into the body through the scalp microvessels, which not only affects the hair quality, but also increases the chance of carcinogens in the body.

When perming or dyeing your hair, you need to wash your hair several times. If you are not careful, it may cause your body to catch a cold and cause irregular menstruation.

When getting your hair done, you have to sit for a long time. Long periods of inactivity may cause pelvic congestion and lead to physical discomfort.

During menstruation, the skin is more sensitive. Once it comes into contact with hair dye or perm, it will cause greater damage to the skin. If there are wounds on the scalp, it may also cause cumulative poisoning.

3. What should women pay attention to when doing their hair?

When doing your hair, you should be careful to avoid direct skin contact with the hairdressing chemicals. It is best to apply lotion on the ears, neck, forehead and other parts before applying the chemicals to prevent contamination. Perming and dyeing hair are harmful to the hair, so it is best not to do it multiple times. Generally speaking, there should be a longer interval between two hairdressings, and try to avoid hairdressing during the menstrual period. After doing your hair, choose some milder shampoos and conditioners to care for your hair.

4. Which types of women are not suitable for hairdressing?

1. Women in a special period

It is not advisable to do your hair during menstruation, pregnancy, or within six months after childbirth, because during this period women's physiological state, including endocrine changes, makes their hair fragile and easy to fall out. Perming or dyeing your hair at this time will not only affect the hair quality, but also affect your health due to drug absorption.

2. Women who work outdoors for a long time

Women who work outdoors for a long time should pay attention. After perming and dyeing their hair, it is often exposed to the sun. The ultraviolet rays in the sun can easily damage the hair and make it dry. If the weather is relatively cold, the blood vessels in the scalp will contract, and the hair will not get enough nutrition, which will affect its growth.

3. Women with cancer

Women with cancer not only have poor physical health, but their hair is also in a state of malnutrition, making it prone to dryness. In addition, most cancer patients will lose a lot of hair after using anti-cancer drugs. If they perm or dye their hair, the hair will fall out even faster.

4. Women whose hair loss occurs due to illness

Women with thyroid disease, endocrine disorders, iron deficiency, ovarian tumors, or acute scalp inflammation are prone to hair loss due to illness. It is best not to have their hair done to avoid aggravating the hair loss. In addition, people with scalp inflammation, such as erythema, edema, and blisters, should also not have their hair done.
