Can mothers comb their hair during confinement?

Can I comb my hair while I am in confinement? This question has always troubled many postpartum mothers. Many people of the older generation believe that you should not comb your hair during the confinement period. The main reason is that they are worried that combing your hair during the confinement period will cause headaches, hair loss and other problems, and will cause the mother to have frequent headaches in the future. Therefore, they will warn the mother not to comb her hair within one month after giving birth. But in fact, this worry is unscientific, which means that mothers can comb their hair during the confinement period.

Mothers can comb their hair as usual during the confinement period. Combing their hair will not affect their physical health. Combing their hair during the confinement period can not only promote blood circulation in the head skin, but also help prevent hair loss, split ends, hair breakage, premature graying of hair, promote healthy hair growth, but also uplift people's spirits and help mothers maintain a happy mood. Therefore, mothers need to comb their hair frequently during the confinement period.

What should pregnant women pay attention to when combing their hair?

1. It is best for mothers to choose a rounder wooden comb when combing their hair. Do not use plastic combs or too sharp combs. Also, do not use too much force when combing your hair. If the hair is long, you can choose to use a wide-toothed wooden comb to slowly comb it down. While combing, hold a section of the hair at the end to avoid hurting your scalp.

2. Pay attention to cleaning the comb regularly: combing your hair can not only make it smoother, but also remove some dirt on the scalp and hair, so it is easy for dust, grease and other dirt to remain on the comb. If it is not cleaned in time, the bacteria on the comb may infect the human body through contact with the scalp, which can easily cause scalp diseases.

Can I wash my hair during confinement after a normal birth?

According to traditional sayings, you should not wash your hair after giving birth because the bone joints and pores of the scalp are wide open. Washing your hair can easily allow dampness and cold to invade the scalp and stay there, leaving a root of disease in the future. If the consequences are serious, there is a possibility of suffering from sequelae of migraine. Another reason is that bathing conditions in the past were poor and sanitary conditions were limited. It was not easy to dry the hair after washing it once, which could easily cause weak new mothers to catch cold and become sick. After all, not washing hair or taking a bath during the confinement period is nothing more than a kind of isolation and protection measure for new mothers. From the perspective of current medical theory, it actually makes sense, but it is not absolute.

How long after giving birth can I wash my hair?

How long you should wait before washing your hair after a normal birth varies for different people and depends on your body's recovery. Theoretically, you can wash your hair one week after a normal birth, but for a caesarean section it depends on the recovery of the wound. Generally speaking, you can wash your hair about 10 days after giving birth, but the specific time depends on the recovery of the wound. The standard for testing is whether you can bend over. For people whose wounds heal slowly, do not rush to wash your hair to avoid tearing the wound.

What should you pay attention to when washing your hair after giving birth?

After scientific research, it is found that most mothers who wash their hair during the confinement period will not develop the so-called confinement disease. In fact, as long as you pay attention to the method of washing your hair and do not let your head get cold when washing your hair, you will not be so easy to get postpartum diseases. During the delivery process, new mothers will sweat a lot, and there is also a lot of sweat after delivery. The hair and scalp easily stick to the dust in the environment and become very dirty. At the same time, excessive oil can also breed fungi and bacteria. New mothers and babies with low resistance after delivery are likely to be infected with bacteria.

In fact, it does not mean that you cannot wash your hair after a normal birth. As long as you pay attention when washing your hair and let your hair dry early, washing your hair cleanly and comfortably can stimulate the scalp and the meridians running on the scalp, making the mother look more energetic and not feel bad because of greasy hair. A good mood for the mother is good for the baby!
