Why can't you wash your hair during menstruation?

Many female friends may ask why they cannot wash their hair during menstruation. This is because during menstruation, women’s body immunity is very low. Even in summer, if they wash their hair during menstruation, they are likely to catch a cold. If your scalp is very itchy, you can use hot water after washing your hair and dry it in time.

Women are more vulnerable during menstruation, and the most important thing at this time is to keep warm and not catch cold. Try to use warm water to wash your hands and face, even in summer. It is okay to wash your hair, but it is best not to wash it on the first day of your period, because washing your hair will have a strong irritation to the scalp. If you wash your hair at this time, even if you use hot water, our heads cannot be guaranteed to be in water all the time. At this time, wind will invade, which will have a strong stimulation to the nerves of the scalp and indirectly stimulate the uterus, causing severe uterine contractions. If this continues for a long time, it will cause dysmenorrhea and blood clots in the menstruation. In addition, the impact of washing your hair at this time on women is not just as simple as dysmenorrhea.

Washing your hair during menstruation can cause migraines in women. That is, many women will experience dizziness and migraines when they reach their menstrual period.
