Pregnancy, it is indisputable, is a wonderful time. But along with joyful emotions, it brings excitement, anxiety, and sometimes makes you think about issues that were previously taken for granted. For example, can you paint or cut hair during pregnancy. On the one hand, well, of course you can, what questions may be. On the other hand, grandmothers, aunts and other relatives, especially the older generation, are beginning to give advice for good intentions.
From their words, it turns out, you can’t do much during pregnancy - you can’t cut your hair, or the child will be born "with a short mind", dye your hair - "you will harm the child", raise your hands - "the baby will get entangled in the umbilical cord", look at ugly people, knit and many more prohibitions. Suppose you can try during pregnancy not to knit, not sew, do not even raise your hands, but how to do without a haircut or dyeing? After all, at this time you want to look as beautiful as possible. Yes, and many modern women work in offices where it is necessary to comply with the dress code and the appropriate makeup and hairstyle. Well, you will not come to work as not made up, with regrown roots or overgrown haircut. How to proceed?
Can or can not cut hair during pregnancy
There is quite a common point of view that you can not cut hair during pregnancy. How to treat such an opinion: should heed or be perceived as superstition? Where did this come from? It turns out that our long-time ancestors, who believed that a person’s life force is in the hair, are “guilty” - they protect, store information, lengthen life. Therefore, the hair was cut only in extreme cases, for example, during serious diseases - cholera, plague, etc. They washed and combed them on certain lunar days, and, of course, did not shave during pregnancy so as not to deprive themselves of additional protection. All these superstitions are stretched for more than one century, but they carry nothing but prejudice.
In the body during pregnancy, hormonal changes take place, which has a positive effect on the hair and their appearance - they become thicker, silky, faster to grow, dormant hair follicles wake up and become active. Therefore, if you want to grow hair, pregnancy is your chance. And if you have short hair, bring them in order and make haircuts, have more often. Unfortunately, after childbirth, the balance is restored, and the hair follicles that have awakened during pregnancy, return to sleep, and the hair that grows out of these bulbs just fall out. Therefore, the fact that many women take for postpartum "molting", is nothing like the return of hair density to the original position. By the way, hairdressers say that if a woman has short hair, and she cut them regularly during pregnancy, then they will fall out less than those with long hair, because hair follicles experienced less. If the situation with a haircut is cleared up - it is possible to cut hair during pregnancy, then how to deal with coloring?
Can I dye my hair during pregnancy
In ordinary life, many women look well-groomed and stylish, visit beauty salons, dye their hair. During pregnancy, you have to think about the safety of such procedures. And a woman has a question - doesn’t the monthly tinting of grown roots cause harm to the health of a future baby? Or it can give up on beauty and walk with an untidy head, but be sure that the child is safe. Special studies on the safety of staining during pregnancy have not been done, but gynecologists and pediatricians advise expectant mothers, just in case, to refrain from painting at the very beginning of pregnancy, especially in the first three months, when important organs of the fetus are laid and formed. Moreover, the danger is not so much contact of the paint with the skin, as the inhaled toxic fumes emanating from the ammonia contained in the dye. Yes, pregnant women themselves during this period may refuse to visit the hairdresser in the form of toxicosis - the smell of paint can provoke another nausea attack. Stylists also advise to dye hair during pregnancy with ammonia-free paints - they have a more benign formula, and their qualities are no worse than traditional paints with ammonia.
Hairdressers warn that it is not always possible to get the desired color or shade after dyeing. And this is not the fault of the paint, but again hormones that change the structure of the hair. For the same reason, a perm may not “clutch”. During pregnancy, you can move away from full hair coloring and make coloring or highlighting. With these methods of staining, the growing roots are not so noticeable, i.e. You can rarely tint them, and there is no direct contact of the paint with the skin. If you are still afraid of using chemical dyes, you can dye your hair during pregnancy with natural dyes - basma, henna, onion peel decoction, chamomile extract.
If you wish to remain well-groomed and beautiful during pregnancy, in each case you can find a way out, there would be a desire. Therefore, girls, women, future mothers, do not be afraid to visit hairdressers. Make fashionable haircuts, nice and stylish dress. You will become more attractive, which will raise your spirits, delight the beauty of your husband and recharge yourself with positive emotions. Whether to dye your hair or not, let each of you decide individually, depending on the state of health, the characteristics of your body or personal prejudices.
