Can I cut my hair during pregnancy?

As we all know, if a woman is pregnant, she must pay more attention to what she uses, eats, behaves, etc., because many things are harmful to the fetus. In order to allow the fetus to grow healthily, pregnant women will try to stay away from harmful substances. Many pregnant women don’t quite understand whether they can cut their hair during pregnancy. There is nothing wrong with cutting your hair, but don’t dye or perm your hair.

It is unscientific to say that you cannot cut your hair during pregnancy. According to superstition, you can cut your hair during pregnancy as long as you don't perm or dye your hair.

It is recommended that you pay attention to rest during pregnancy, avoid excessive fatigue, keep a good mood, eat more vegetables, fruits, soy products and high-protein foods, avoid cold, spicy and irritating foods, keep the vulva clean and hygienic, have regular pregnancy check-ups, and prohibit sexual intercourse in the early and late pregnancy.

2. Can pregnant women dye their hair?

First of all, hair dyeing requires opening the hair follicles with hair dye, and then entering the hair follicles to dye the hair into the color you want. Some chemicals can easily enter the body through the hair roots and cause harm to the human body.

Secondly, generally speaking, pregnant women’s hair is not only very fragile and inelastic, but also easy to fall out. Dyeing the hair during this period will cause relatively great damage to the hair, intensifying the damage to the hair and causing hair loss or hair breakage.

Finally, because the main ingredients of current hair dyes are usually phenylenediamine and hydrogen peroxide, they contain lead compounds. It is very likely to damage the DNA in the pregnant woman's cells, thereby inducing cell mutations and cancer. Lead is a heavy metal that can affect the development of the fetal nervous system and can damage the brain and cause fetal malformations.

This is because after a woman becomes pregnant, the hormonal balance in her body will undergo a series of changes, and these changes will make her skin extremely sensitive. Therefore, pregnant women, that is, expectant mothers, are prone to skin allergies when they come into contact with hair dyes and other chemicals; expectant mothers with strong early pregnancy reactions may feel physically unwell after smelling the chemicals. These are among the reasons why you need to be cautious about hair dyeing and perming.
