Usually women can wash their hair when they are in good general condition and their physical strength allows them to do so, and it is generally recommended that they wash their hair around 3 to 7 days after menstruation.
If the delivery is vaginal, there is no post-partum discomfort, and the local temperature is relatively high, you can usually wash your hair in 3~4 days of menstruation; if it is a cesarean section, you can usually wash your hair in about 7 days of menstruation. If the mother’s body is weak after delivery and the local temperature is relatively low, the time for hair washing can be postponed appropriately.
Proper hair washing after delivery can remove the dirt from the body, which is conducive to the mother’s emotional well-being, and can also avoid infections. However, the patient’s immunity is relatively low after delivery, so it is important to pay attention to the temperature of the water when washing hair, and after shampooing, it is necessary to dry in a timely manner, do not go out in the cold wind, to avoid catching a cold.
If the mother is not feeling well during the puerperium, it is recommended to consult a doctor for standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
