Principles of washing hair during confinement

After miscarriage, women are prone to catching colds because they are weak and have low resistance. If you wash your hair immediately when the body is still prone to breakdown, it can easily lead to infection and disease. So what are the precautions for washing your hair during the first month of pregnancy?

1. Pay attention to the indoor temperature. When washing your hair, you should turn on the air conditioner or warm bath lamp. Be careful not to wash your hair under warm light. Normally, if you keep your head towards the light you will feel dizzy, let alone at this time. The water for washing hair should be boiled water and cooled to the appropriate temperature before washing hair. Because there are still a lot of bacteria in the water that has not been boiled, and the woman's body is still weak at this time, bacterial infection can be prevented.

2. Gently massage your hair when washing it. When washing your hair during the confinement period, do not scratch it as you did before. Although scratching your head feels good, it can irritate your scalp and cause headaches, so be gentle.

3. Avoid catching a cold after washing your hair. Do not open the windows or the bathroom heater. If you are exposed to cold wind, you will get a headache.

4. After shampooing, be careful not to blow cold air, and pay more attention when using a hair dryer. Before the hair dryer is on cold air, if it is too close, it will irritate the scalp and cause headaches.

5. Dry it with a dry towel, then place it on another dry towel, enter a windless environment, and then remove the towel. After washing, prepare two towels, dry your head with a dry towel, then wrap your head with another dry towel, go into a windless environment, and remove the towel after one minute. To avoid the evaporation of moisture taking away a large amount of heat, the scalp blood vessels will suddenly contract after being stimulated by cold, causing headaches.

6. Don’t use shampoo that is too irritating. Generally speaking, postpartum hair is greasy and prone to hair loss. When washing your hair, do not use overly irritating shampoos, and wait until your hair is dry before going to bed. When washing your hair during the confinement period, do not go to bed immediately before your hair is dry to prevent moisture from invading your body and causing headaches and neck pains.
