As the saying goes, "the head can be broken, blood can flow, and the hairstyle cannot be lost." Hairstyles are very important for the external image of each of us. Choosing a hairstyle that suits oneself can instantly change the overall temperament of a person. Most female friends have long hair and need to go to a hair salon regularly for trimming, care, etc. So, can we get our hair done during pregnancy?
Can hair be done during pregnancy preparation
It is generally not recommended to perm or dye hair during the preparation for pregnancy. Because perm and hair dye are chemical substances, they can affect the normal growth and development of the fetus in pregnant women, and a few women may even have allergic reactions to them. According to research, women's hair is not only very fragile after pregnancy, but also prone to shedding. If chemical cold perm essence is used again for perming, it will exacerbate hair loss. Don't be too nervous even if you have just had your hair permed before pregnancy. Because the human body's excretory function has the ability to clear chemicals, the chemicals contained in hair dye and perm agents are quickly excreted from the body.
What to pay attention to during pregnancy preparation
1. Supplementing folic acid three months in advance: Supplementing folic acid in advance can prevent the occurrence of neural tube defects in infants. Folic acid should be supplemented with 0.4 milligrams of folic acid per day from the first 3 months of pregnancy until 3 months after pregnancy.
2. Good lifestyle habits and regular exercise: try not to stay up late, go to bed early and wake up early. At the same time, take regular exercise to strengthen the physique. You can do jogging in the morning, play badminton, walking in the evening and other sports, and go outdoors to breathe fresh air.
3. Quit smoking and drinking at least three months in advance: Alcohol and tobacco contain various harmful substances, so both spouses should quit smoking and drinking at least three months before conception.
In order to ensure that everything goes smoothly, both men and women need to change their previous bad habits during the preparation for pregnancy, pay attention to their body's nutrition supplementation, and do regular physical exercise. Many men naively think that preparation for pregnancy is all about women and has nothing to do with them. This idea is wrong. Preparation for pregnancy requires joint efforts from both parties, not just one person.
