Experts emphasize: Traditionally, you are not allowed to wash your hair during the confinement period. This is because the home environment was relatively poor in the past, and it was easy to catch a cold after washing your hair. Now the conditions are better, and you can wash your hair when the temperature and humidity are suitable. Depending on the pregnant woman's physical condition, you don't need to wash your hair within one week after giving birth.

The reason why you cannot wash your hair during the traditional confinement period:

1. The quality of the home was poor before, the temperature and indoor temperature could not be well controlled, and there was ventilation. If the wind stopped, the baby might catch a cold and have a headache.

2. It is easy to catch a cold when washing your hair. If you catch a cold accidentally when washing your hair during the confinement period, it will be a big deal because you have to take care of the baby and may infect the baby.

3. There was no drinking water or mineral water before. The water used for washing hair comes from rivers or streams, which contain many germs and sparganosis, which have a greater impact on the human body.
