Postpartum recovery: the collision between tradition and modernity

In our cultural tradition, it is recommended that pregnant women "sit on the moon" within one month after delivery to avoid contact with cold water and cold air to prevent illness. However, modern science shows that excessive protection may have the opposite effect. Puerpera sweat a lot after delivery, and long-term non-cleaning may lead to health problems and even diseases. Therefore, proper cleaning is necessary. But please note that although we can wash our hair and take a bath, we still need to follow some key precautions.

Wait at least a week before cleaning.

The parturient perspires heavily after delivery, but needs to wait at least one week before cleaning. When washing your hair, gently massage your scalp with your fingertips and dry it with a hair dryer in time. Keep the bathroom warm and avoid direct contact with cold air.

Select the appropriate water temperature.

Choose a suitable water temperature, not too cold, about 37-38 degrees is the most suitable.

♀? Choose a mild shampoo.

Because postpartum hair is oily and easy to fall off, it is recommended to choose a mild shampoo.

♀? Make sure your hair is completely dry.

After washing your hair, make sure it is completely dry before braiding or going to bed to avoid possible health problems, such as headache and neck pain.
