Can I wash my hair when I have my period?

We all know that girls love to wash their hair in life, because they think that if they don't wash their hair, they will give people a greasy feeling when going out, which is also a kind of disrespect to outsiders. If it is the days when girls are menstruating, generally girls will choose not to wash their hair and go out, because during menstruation, they will have abdominal pain and always feel uncomfortable. They just want to lie in the warm bed. So, can you wash your hair when you are menstruating?

1. Western medicine believes that there is no medical basis for not washing your hair during menstruation, but Chinese medicine theory disagrees. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the head is the head of the six yang meridians and the uterus is the starting point of the Ren meridian. During menstrual period, blood circulation is inherently poor. Washing your hair will cause blood to concentrate in the head, affecting the blood circulation in the uterus, making it impossible for the blood in the uterus to be discharged smoothly, which can easily cause a decrease in menstrual blood volume or menstrual pain.

2. On the other hand, since the pores on the hair roots are open, if you catch a cold at this time, it is easy to cause headaches, especially if you wash your hair at night or before going to bed.

3. Since night is yin and head is the first of six yang, when yin and yang are at odds, headaches will be more serious. If you go to bed immediately before your hair is completely dry, and your body's resistance and metabolism are low, all kinds of problems will definitely find you.

4. Scientists' research results also show that if you wash your hair during menstruation, the brain nerves will be stimulated and the uterus will contract. If the uterus contracts, the hormone secretion in the body will become disordered. If this situation accumulates over time, it will cause cell canceration and lead to gynecological cancers such as breast cancer and uterine cancer.

5. Women's body resistance will be weaker during menstruation than usual. At this time, you must pay attention to maintenance. If you don't pay attention, it is likely to have a certain impact on the body. Therefore, it is best for female friends not to wash their hair during menstruation.
