What should you pay attention to when washing your hair during confinement?

For normal people, washing hair is a very relaxing activity, but for women in the confinement period, there are many things to pay attention to when washing hair. For example, you cannot wash your hair for a few days after giving birth. When you can wash your hair, you must be very cautious, such as adjusting the water temperature, controlling the ambient temperature, paying attention to the time and posture of washing your hair, etc.

1. Wash your hair 2 weeks after delivery.

If you take a shower before 2 weeks, your body will be weaker after delivery and you will have more lochia. Washing your hair will make your hands sore, standing for a long time will cause back pain, and your scalp will get cold, which will affect the excretion of lochia. After 2 weeks, your body has recovered a lot, so raising your hands to wash your hair or standing for a while will not have much impact. Just be careful not to get your scalp cold.

2. Pay attention to the indoor temperature when washing your hair.

When washing your hair, you should turn on the air conditioner or the heating lamp in the bathroom. Be careful not to wash your hair directly under the heating lamp. Normally, you will feel dizzy if you face the heating lamp directly, let alone during the confinement period.

3. When washing your hair, boil the water and then cool it to the appropriate temperature.

The water for washing your hair must be boiled and then cooled to the appropriate temperature before washing your hair, because there are still a lot of bacteria in the unboiled water, and the mother's body is still relatively weak and her resistance is relatively poor, so bacterial infection must be prevented.

4. Massage gently when washing your hair.

When washing your hair during the confinement period, do not scratch it as hard as you normally would. Although it may feel comfortable, it is only temporary. Scratching hard will irritate your scalp and cause headaches later, so be gentle.

5. Avoid blow-drying your hair while and after washing it.

Don’t open the window when washing your hair and turn on the bathroom heater. If you are exposed to cold wind when washing your hair, you will have a headache later. After washing your hair, you should also be careful not to be blown by the wind. You should be more careful when using a hair dryer. The first part of the wind from the hair dryer is cold wind, and if it is too far away, it will also be cold wind. However, if it is too close, it will be too hot and will irritate the scalp, so it is best not to use it. Wipe it dry with a dry towel, then wrap it with another dry towel, go into a windless environment (air-conditioned room), and then remove the towel.

6. Dry with a dry towel after washing.

Prepare two towels for washing your hair. After washing, dry your hair with a dry towel, then wrap your head with another dry towel, enter a windless environment (air-conditioned room), and remove the towel after one minute.
