Don't wash your hair during your period?!? WTF
in Women's Health ·
Ugh, seriously...😲....I actually can't believe what I'm reading here!
When I'm on my period, I shower just like normal—honestly, probably more than usual, and I don't care if I go through a dozen towels in the process. I wash my hair, brush my teeth, scrub my hands, do everything. I still hit the beach, swim, tan... I mean, I act like it's any other day of the month! If I'm hurting, I just pop some Advil or Aleve, if I really need to... and that's it. I don't know about you people who just stay stuck in bed for days, but back in high school or college, I definitely couldn't afford to miss three days every single month, especially once I started working!😕 Must be nice!
And regarding all these stupid old wives' tales... I recently had a baby, and for 40 freaking days, she didn't wash her hair, didn't leave the house (obviously, I wouldn't either with hair looking like 🙄), and nobody was allowed to see the baby! I have to ask, why specifically 40 days?!🤷 On the 41st day, she finally washed her hair, and then we could actually come visit!
It's honestly wild how many girls blindly believe this nonsense without ever asking WHY. Like, what does washing your hair even have to do with your period?!🙄
