Can I wash my hair during the confinement period?

Confinement after childbirth is the best opportunity to change a woman's physical constitution for life, but relatives and friends always set various rules for you. There are many taboos in traditional confinement after childbirth, and not being able to wash your hair or take a bath is a big taboo. But in the hot summer, it is really hard for mothers not to wash their hair for a month, and the itchy scalp also affects their mood. Now follow the editor to find out whether you can wash your hair during the confinement period and how to observe the confinement period scientifically.

1. Should pregnant women wash their hair?

During childbirth, the mother will sweat profusely and her entire body will be soaked. After giving birth, not only does the mother secrete milk, but she also has to discharge lochia, which can be said to be very dirty. If you don't wash your hair or take a bath for a month, it will be very easy for bacteria to grow in your body, causing you to get sick. In fact, you can wash your hair and take a bath after giving birth, but you need to make sure the temperature is appropriate so that you won’t get cold.

2. The indoor temperature should be appropriate

If the mother washes her hair and takes a bath after giving birth, she must ensure that the indoor temperature is appropriate. In winter, the air conditioner should be turned on, and in summer, the room temperature should be normal. Never turn on the air conditioner. In addition, use warm water when bathing and avoid taking a bath in a tub to avoid being unhygienic.

3. Dry your hair immediately after washing it

Dry your hair immediately after washing it, and continue to blow dry it with a hair dryer on a warm setting until it is completely dry. Never go out in the wind when your hair is wet, as that will leave sequelae and cause your mother to suffer from frequent headaches in the future. And after blow-drying your hair, you should also sit on the bed and let your hair continue to dry naturally for a while. Don't go to bed immediately, otherwise it will cause moisture to enter the body and give you a headache.

4. If you take a shower, you can wipe it directly

Some women cannot stand sweat stains on their bodies, so they need to wash every day, but this may not be allowed during the confinement period. You can use a hot, wet towel to wipe the body. This is simple and convenient. It will not let the mother get cold. It can also keep the body clean and prevent invasion by pathogens.

The editor has already given the answer to the question of whether you can wash your hair during confinement. Not only washing your hair, but also taking a bath is beneficial to the health of the mother. However, you cannot take a sitting bath. It is best to take a shower and pay attention to the water temperature. The production process will inevitably cause profuse sweating, which can easily breed bacteria. Taking a bath is necessary, as long as you pay attention to the method, and the same applies to washing your hair.
