Can I wash my hair if my scalp itches after miscarriage?

After a miscarriage, you must strengthen your physical conditioning. At this time, you should pay attention to diet conditioning, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, and eliminate lochia in time. If your scalp becomes itchy during the conditioning period, you can wash your hair. As long as you can ensure that the room is relatively warm and avoid catching a cold, there is no problem with washing your hair. Keeping it well clean will also help your body gradually recover.

This is not a matter of time. If you do not wash your hair for a long time after an abortion, it may cause hair loss, because the premise of healthy hair is cleanliness. The sebaceous glands in the hair follicles at the roots of the hair are constantly active, and the oil they secrete every day easily adheres to dust in the environment, which can easily increase the friction when combing the hair, causing the cuticles on the surface of the hair to flip up, and the hair will become dull, dry, split, and even break and fall off. Therefore, not washing your hair for a long time is very bad for your scalp. It will cause the sebum secretions and dust of the scalp to mix and accumulate, which will not only affect the blood supply to the head, but also easily cause folliculitis or scalp infection. As long as you control the water temperature, blow dry after washing, and keep warm, you can bathe and wash your hair as usual after an abortion. What's more, washing your hair can also act as a massage and accelerate blood circulation.

1. Do not apply shampoo directly to your head or when your hair is half wet. Wet your hair thoroughly before shampooing to better wash away dirt and avoid damaging your scalp.

2. It is best to rub the shampoo on your palms before applying it to your head. This can minimize the irritation of the shampoo to the scalp, reduce the burden on the hair, prevent the residue of alkaline substances, and prevent the formation of dandruff.

3. The washing time should not be too short. The result of washing your hair in a hurry may not be thorough, causing shampoo residues to remain on the scalp, especially near the back of the head where oil is prone to accumulate.

4. When shampooing, the focus is on cleaning the scalp. Shampooing not only cleans your hair, but also cleanses your scalp. The accumulation of sebum on the scalp can easily breed bacteria and cause dandruff, which can also lead to hair loss.

6. You can do some proper head massage, use your fingertips instead of your nails to gently massage your scalp for 3 weeks, which can help relax you. Recommended reading: What to eat after an abortion is good for your health

7. Conditioner cannot replace shampoo. Although conditioner is a nutrient for hair and can remove dirt and sebum from hair and improve the hair growth environment, it has different effects from shampoo and cannot replace each other.

8. Don’t wash your hair too frequently. Even if you have oily hair, it is best not to wash your hair more than twice a day, as this will over-open the hair cuticles and cause hair damage, and will also wash away necessary oils.

9. It is a bit hasty to judge the right shampoo after using it only once or twice. The effect of continuous use is the basis for judgment.
