What water should pregnant women use to wash their hair?

A postpartum woman generally refers to a woman who is in the confinement period. In the past, it was generally said that one should not wash her hair or take a bath during the confinement period, but some people also say that it is okay to wash your hair or take a bath, which is healthy. After all, there are many taboos during the confinement period, and it would be very uncomfortable if you couldn't wash your hair all the time. In fact, hair can be washed, but there are many things to pay attention to. Next, let’s take a look at what pregnant women should pay attention to when washing their hair.

If you feel particularly uncomfortable and really have to wash your hair, you should pay attention to the following points.

Wait 2 weeks after giving birth before washing your hair. 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.

Pay attention to the room 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.

To wash 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.

Massage gently while 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.

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.

After washing, dry it with a dry towel. 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.

Generally speaking, it is not recommended to wash your hair too frequently or too often, because postpartum women are prone to catching a cold and developing illness when washing their hair. In this way, it will be difficult for the body to discharge lochia, which will have a greater impact. But if the mother has washed her hair, she must blow it dry immediately and for a while. It cannot be left half-dry, and the water used for washing her hair must be hot.
