Can I wash my hair and take a bath during my period?

When a woman is menstruating, the pelvic cavity is in a state of blood rushing, so relatively less blood flows to other parts of the body, and naturally relatively less blood flows to the head as well. If you wash your hair at this time, the cold scalp will cause the blood vessels on the scalp to contract, and the blood will become smaller and less smooth, resulting in weakened blood circulation and poor menstrual blood discharge. Therefore, during menstruation, especially in the first few days when the flow is heavy, it is best to avoid washing your hair. If you really need to wash your hair, use plenty of hot water and dry it immediately with a hair dryer after washing. Don't let your body suffer from the slightest cold.
