Can women wash their hair during menstruation?

A woman's physical condition during menstruation is definitely different from that at other times. As a special period, there are many things to pay attention to, in addition to diet, there are also things to avoid in economic life. Washing your hair is a simple thing, but you need to pay special attention to it when washing your hair during menstruation. Can women wash their hair when they are menstruating?

1. Traditional Chinese Medicine

The head is the first of the Six Yangs, and the uterus is the starting point of the Ren Meridian. During menstruation, blood circulation is already relatively poor. Washing your hair will cause blood to concentrate in the head, affecting blood circulation in the uterus, making it impossible for the blood in the uterus to be discharged smoothly, which can easily cause a decrease in menstrual blood volume or menstrual pain.

2. It is recommended to wash your hair with ginger water

Choose noon, boil a pot of ginger water, cool it to the appropriate temperature, and wash your hair. After washing your hair, dry it with a hair dryer in time instead of drying it in the shade. Avoid exposure to cold air after washing, and never go out with wet hair.

3. Don’t wash your hair before going to bed

Washing your hair at night or before going to bed will open the pores on the hair roots. If you catch a cold at this time, it will easily cause headaches. Since night is yin and the head is the head of six yang, when yin and yang are at odds, the headache will be more serious. If you go to bed immediately before your hair is completely dry, and your body's resistance and metabolism are low, all kinds of problems will definitely find you. If office workers really don’t have time during the day, they must use a high-power hair dryer to dry their hair as quickly as possible when washing it at night.

4. Choose to wash when the amount is small

Women can wash their hair during menstruation, but they should not expose their hair to cold. Try not to wash your hair two days before your period. Use warm water to wash your hair, and avoid using cold water. In addition, women who find it difficult to tolerate not washing their hair for two or three days can seize the clues before their period comes and try to wash their hair the night before their period comes, such as dark circles under the eyes, bleeding gums, broken hair, or breast pain and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen.
