Can pregnant women get hair extensions during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, some beauty-conscious women will also take care of their hair, because they cannot give up their beauty because of pregnancy. However, it should be noted that pregnant women cannot dye or perm their hair during pregnancy, because dyeing or perming their hair can cause hair damage and damage to the cerebral cortex, and finally affect their health. Pregnant women should blow dry their hair in time after washing it during pregnancy, choose a suitable shampoo for pregnant women, and try not to get hair extensions during pregnancy, and you can wait until after delivery.

How to take care of your hair during pregnancy

During pregnancy, due to changes in hormone levels in the body, the mother's sebum secretion increases. The hair of pregnant women with oily hair will be oilier than usual; and the hair of pregnant women with dry hair will not be as dry as usual. Pregnant women with malnutrition are prone to hair breakage or loss. Keep your hair clean and well cared for, just as you did before you became pregnant. But things are different after pregnancy and there are some things that require special attention.

1. Choose the right shampoo

The skin of expectant mothers is very sensitive. In order to prevent scalp irritation from affecting the fetus, expectant mothers should choose a shampoo that is suitable for their hair type and has a relatively mild nature. If the hair quality has not changed much due to hormonal changes, it is best to continue using the same brand of shampoo you used before pregnancy. If you suddenly switch to other brands of shampoo, especially brands that you have never used before, your skin may not adapt and cause allergies.

Some expectant mothers may experience dry and brittle hair during pregnancy. This is because the hair lacks protein. The situation will be improved if shampoos and conditioners that can supplement protein nutrition to the hair are used.

2. There are secrets to dealing with wet hair

Long hair is more difficult to dry when it is wet. Going out or going to bed with wet hair is not only uncomfortable but also easy to catch a chill and cause a cold. Using a hair dryer to dry the hair is not without concerns about the effects of radiation and bacteria on the fetus. The hot air from some hair dryers contains fine asbestos fibers, which can enter the blood through the respiratory tract and skin of the expectant mother, and then enter the fetus through the placental blood, thereby inducing fetal malformations.

In fact, dry hair caps and dry hair towels can solve this problem. Wearing a dry hair cap that is highly absorbent and breathable, you can dry your hair quickly and go to bed immediately after showering. It can also prevent colds. However, you should pay attention to choosing antibacterial, hygienic, and soft dry hair caps and towels.

3. Hair treatment is nutritious

It is best for expectant mothers to do a hair treatment every month. During the hair treatment, apply the moisturizing hair cream containing avocado or various plant essences evenly on the hair, and keep the hair fluffy and natural. The rich vitamin ingredients in the hair cream can fully make up for the nutritional deficiencies faced by the hair, and the hair essence factors containing a large number of effective moisturizing ingredients can evenly cover the surface of the hair, making the surface scales naturally smooth and adherent, tightly protecting the inner layer of the hair, maintaining sufficient moisture, and providing lubricating ingredients, so that the expectant mother's hair will be radiant.

4. Perming and dyeing your hair is taboo

Perming and dyeing hair are the two most commonly used methods for shaping hair style. It is not suitable for expectant mothers to perm or dye their hair in the early stage of pregnancy (first 3 months) and the middle and late stages of pregnancy. The early pregnancy period is the most critical stage for the development of fetal organs. Improper protection or use of harmful substances during this period may cause fetal malformations. At present, perming is chemical perming, which requires the use of "cold perm essence" to curl and shape the hair. Hair dyes are also composed of relatively complex chemical ingredients. Although there is no direct evidence that perming and dyeing hair will cause harm to the fetus, to be on the safe side, expectant mothers should not perm or dye their hair in the early stages of pregnancy.

In very special circumstances, perming and dyeing can be done during the second trimester of pregnancy, but only the middle and tail sections of the hair can be treated, with appropriate highlights done to reduce the scalp's absorption of perm and dye.

5. Hair care massage is very important

Some massage while shampooing is important to provide soothing care to sensitive hair. When bathing in the morning and evening, before using shampoo, wet your hair and do some soothing head skin massage exercises. Just a simple gentle pressure will bring you unprecedented relief and relaxation.
