Does a hair dryer have any effect on pregnant women?

I believe everyone is familiar with hair dryers. Hair dryers are a common electrical appliance. Hair dryers have many benefits. After washing our hair, we can use a hair dryer to dry wet hair earlier. In addition, we can also use a hair dryer to shape our hairstyle. However, we should also know that using a hair dryer can easily have an impact on our body. Below we will introduce whether a hair dryer has any impact on pregnant women.

1. Hair

The harm caused by hair dryers is not big, but not small either. Usually, we use a hair dryer to dry our hair immediately after washing it. Wet hair is the most fragile, so it is best not to touch it immediately, let alone use a hair dryer to dry it. Otherwise, your hair will become severely dry, split ends will appear, and it will easily break. Also, do not use a plastic or nylon comb to comb your hair. A boxwood comb is best, but a peach wood comb is also fine. So if there is no urgency or the weather is not very cold, just let it dry naturally.

Second, it also has a certain impact on pregnant women

If a pregnant woman uses a hair dryer for too long, it will have a certain impact on both the pregnant woman and the fetus. The hair dryer will also generate electromagnetic waves when it is turned on, causing radiation and causing defects in the fetus at birth. Doctors also point out that in order to avoid birth defects caused by the external environment during pregnancy, pregnant women should avoid X-rays, taking medicines indiscriminately, using hair dryers, etc. in the first three months of pregnancy. In addition, many people know that radiation from computers and mobile phones can harm the fetus, but they don’t know that when a hair dryer is turned on, it will also generate electromagnetic waves, causing radiation and leading to physical defects in the fetus at birth. Therefore, it is best not to use a hair dryer during pregnancy.

3. How to use a hair dryer correctly

1. After shampooing, use a dry towel to absorb all the moisture on your hair. When there is no dripping water, you can use a hair dryer. Otherwise, too much moisture will cause the hair dryer to work for too long, and the hair will naturally dry out due to continuous exposure to high temperature.

2. Before using a hair dryer, you should give your hair some protection, which will allow the hair scales to have better luster and moisture after they close naturally.

3. The hair dryer should be kept 20-30cm away from the hair. If you have a lot of thick hair, you can divide the hair into several parts, fix them with clips first, and then blow dry the hair part by part, starting from the roots of the hair. This can make the hair roots strong and improve the naturally soft and sagging hair quality of Asians.

4. Don't blow dry your hair completely, as that will remove all the moisture. Just blow it until it is 80% dry, then let it dry naturally. If you want to apply some styling products, this is the best time to do the least damage to your hair.

5. If you want a more fluffy effect, don't rush to part your hair or create bangs. Instead, blow dry from the top of your head downwards and then part your hair after it is 70% dry. At the same time, insert your hand into the middle of your hair to make the upper part of the hair rise. Use a hair dryer to blow air towards the middle to make the upper part of the hair achieve the desired effect. Then blow the bangs flat and smooth along the growth direction of the bangs. Finally, shape the entire hair. Pay attention to the shaping of the straight hair and the ends of the curly hair. Smooth the entire hair to avoid messiness.
