I dare not wash my hair during confinement. It is not correct to wash my hair often. If you don't wash your hair during the second month, scalp sebum secretion and dust will be mixed and accumulated, which will affect the blood supply to the head, easily cause folliculitis and scalp infection, and increase the probability of hair loss. Mi Yue Bay Confucius Center in Shifang recommends to wash teeth 3-7 times a week in summer and 1-3 times a week in winter. When washing your hair, the water temperature is about 37 degrees, not more than 40 degrees.

Regarding the choice of shampoo, don't choose strong degreasing or alkaline shampoo, which will easily lead to dry hair and scalp necrosis. It is suggested that new mothers choose a weak acidic natural shampoo that is not irritating to scalp and hair, or choose appropriate care products according to hair quality.

Step 2 massage the scalp

When a new mother washes her hair, don't forcibly clean and scratch her hair with her nails. Gently massaging her scalp with fingers and abdomen can promote hair growth and blood circulation in the brain. Comb your hair with a clean comb 100 times a day is also a good massage method. It is recommended not to use a plastic comb, but to use a boxwood comb or bristle brush, which can not only remove dandruff, but also massage the scalp and promote blood circulation.

Step 3 supplement nutrition

Most of the main nutrients needed for hair growth come from green vegetables, summer heat, beans and seaweed. Green vegetables are rich in fiber, which can increase the amount of hair. Beans are rich in protein, which can increase the luster and elasticity of hair. Seaweed foods such as seaweed, kelp and Undaria pinnatifida are rich in nutrients such as calcium, potassium and iodine, which are helpful to promote the metabolism of brain nerve cells and prevent white hair. Yam, sweet potato, banana and mango are also good foods for hair growth.

4. Keep a happy mood

Seeing her hair fall off one by one, the new mother will feel anxious and afraid. A good mood in life is the key to maintaining hair. New mothers should understand two things about postpartum alopecia: postpartum alopecia will definitely return to normal for a while, but it needs patience; Although the amount of hair loss has decreased for a while, most people will not lose all their hair. During this time, new mothers after delivery should relax and have confidence in themselves, believing that the hair loss period will soon pass.
