Can I do my hair after the confinement period?

It is women's nature to love beauty. For the sake of the fetus, many women hardly even use skin care products when they are pregnant, let alone doing hairdressing, manicures, applying facial masks and other things they do on a daily basis. Many women will make up their minds when they are pregnant that they must dress themselves up beautifully after giving birth and not be sloppy anymore. So can women other than Yunzi do their hair?

1. How long after giving birth can you dye your hair

Hair dyeing is the choice of many women who love beauty. Hair dyeing does bring beauty and personality to many women, but the harm of hair dyeing is also something we cannot ignore. Hair dyeing is a deep chemical reaction that uses chemical agents to destroy the structure of the hair, penetrate into the interior of the hair, and finally dye the hair through a color development reaction.

If you are not breastfeeding, you can dye your hair at any time after the confinement period, but avoid contact with your baby during the initial period of hair dyeing, because those hair dyes are toxic and not good for the baby. If you are breastfeeding, it is best not to dye it before weaning for the sake of your baby. After all, hair dyes are chemical products, and if a hair salon uses inferior hair dyes, the harm will be even greater.

In fact, we can see from the harm of hair dye that the harm of hair dye to the human body is not only on the surface, but can also penetrate into the scalp and enter the human body. Breastfeeding mothers have to breastfeed their babies, so when the harmful substances in hair dye enter the body and contaminate the breast milk, even very trace amounts of ingredients can bring major hidden dangers to the baby's health. In addition, some imported hair dyes also contain lead acetate, which contains 5 to 10 times the amount of lead in household paints and pigments. Once lead enters the human body, it is difficult to be excreted, causing cumulative poisoning and symptoms of poisoning such as dizziness, headache, fatigue, and numbness of the limbs. Once a baby consumes breast milk containing this harmful substance, the consequences will be unimaginable.

2. What to do if you dye your hair after giving birth

Although dyeing or perming your hair during pregnancy is not 100% safe, there is currently no clear evidence that it causes fetal malformations or harm. However, these drugs are still toxic after all. Many animal experiments still caused fetal problems when the dosage was increased. Therefore, if you want to dye or perm your hair during pregnancy, you should adhere to the following principles: It is best to wait until three months of pregnancy to dye or perm your hair, because the fetus is in the organ development period before three months of pregnancy and is most likely to cause deformities. The number of times you dye your hair should be reduced as much as possible to avoid the effects of accumulated drugs. When dyeing or perming hair, you can only treat the middle and ends of the hair to reduce the absorption of scalp medications or allergies.

If you accidentally dye your hair during breastfeeding or pregnancy, you must first stay calm. Generally speaking, dyeing your hair just once will not cause too much harm. If you are exposed to hair dye in large quantities, it will cause serious consequences. You must monitor the condition of the fetus. After breastfeeding women dye their hair, they should be careful about the breast milk being contaminated by the hair dye and should not breastfeed their children to avoid harm. You can take detoxification drugs under the guidance of a doctor and recover your health as soon as possible.

Try doing a DIY oil wash. Use Ganoderma lucidum powder, pearl powder, honey and an egg white, stir into a paste with warm water and then brush it on your hair little by little with a toothbrush. It is best to use an oil cap. If not, wrap your hair with a shower cap and a towel, and use a towel to constantly change the hot water. Do it for half an hour and it will be almost done.
