There are dry cleaning sprays and dry shampoos on the market, ranging from powder, gel, and liquid, but they are all sprayed on the scalp to relieve itchy and greasy scalp. There are many brands, so moms may want to compare prices before making a decision.

If you find dry cleaning fluid troublesome, there is another way to clean: wiping hair with paper towels. It has a similar effect to wet wipes, contains plant ingredients, and is used to clean the scalp by wiping.

4. Prickly heat powder

A can of dry shampoo is expensive, and a wet wipe for wiping the scalp is also not cheap. There is another trick: prickly heat powder. A mom shared that after dividing the hair into equal parts, just sprinkle the powder on it, but what should you do if you have gray hair? Just use a comb with a larger area to comb the hair. In addition, it is also important to prepare a large wooden comb when using prickly heat powder. In addition to combing out the prickly heat powder, you can also massage your scalp.

How long after giving birth can I wash my hair?

How long after giving birth can you wash your hair? There are many different answers to this question. Some people say that a week is enough, but some people say that you can only wash your hair after the month is over. Normally, doctors recommend that women can wash their hair as long as they feel fit and have no health problems, but we recommend that if you can tolerate it, you should wait 10 days before washing your hair.

1. The harm of washing your hair too early

Washing your hair too early does have a lot of harmful effects. The mother needs to discharge the lochia in her body, but washing her hair too early will cause the dirty blood in the uterus to stagnate into lumps, making it difficult to discharge from the body. If lochia is not discharged from the body, it will cause a series of problems, such as endocrine disharmony or hormonal imbalance, and eventually the mother will suffer from menstrual pain or irregular menstruation. Therefore, during the postpartum confinement period, restoring the body is the most important thing, and moderate cleansing is sufficient.

2. How often should you wash your hair?

After giving birth, mothers should not wash their hair too frequently during the confinement period. Just keep it moderately clean. The purpose of washing your hair is to prevent too much bacteria from growing, so just keep it to once or twice a week.
