Can pregnant women use a hair dryer?

Pregnant women have some taboos in their lives during pregnancy. They should avoid some bad habits that will have adverse effects on themselves and the fetus. For example, they should be careful when using a hair dryer. They should use it as little as possible because it has certain radiation and can also have adverse effects on hair quality. If you must use a hair dryer, you should also know some practical methods.

Can pregnant women use a hair dryer?

1. Use as little as possible, the radiation value is high

In daily life, most people use hair dryers with a power of about 1000W and a radiation value of about 300-400mG, which is higher than other electrical appliances. The radiation values ​​of the TVs and computers we usually watch and use are only a few dozen. If a pregnant woman uses it very close to her head, it can easily cause dizziness, weakness, and lack of energy, so expectant mothers should use it with caution.

2. It is recommended to wash your hair during the day and let it dry naturally

Expectant mothers should try to wash their hair during the day and use hair dryers as little as possible. After washing their hair, they can go outside in the sun and wait for it to dry naturally. This can also promote calcium absorption, killing two birds with one stone. If you wash your hair at night, you have to blow-dry it, otherwise you will easily catch a cold, but using a hair dryer will produce radiation.

3. Pay attention to the material of the hair dryer

Pregnant women should choose and use hair dryers carefully. Hair dryers made of ceramic and mica materials are safer, while hair dryers made of asbestos materials will bring out particles when used and affect human health.

4. Try not to use it during the first three months of pregnancy

In the first three months of pregnancy, try not to use a hair dryer, otherwise it will have a greater impact on the fetus. Expectant mothers can wipe their hair with a dry towel or use a dry hair cap.

How to use a hair dryer correctly when pregnant

First of all, expectant mothers should make sure that the hair dryer is at a certain distance from the head and avoid it being close to the scalp. Additionally, blow dry your hair as follows:

1. After washing your hair, first wipe off most of the water with a towel, then divide your hair into several sections and fix them on the top of your head, so that it is easier to blow dry your hair.

2. Separate the hair on the top, run your fingers through your hair and straighten it while blow-drying it with a hair dryer.

3. Divide the lower hair into two sides, put your fingers into your hair, and blow-dry while combing.

4. The two sides are divided by the ears. Use the hair dryer on the side to blow the hair from the roots to the ends, and comb it with a comb. The same goes for the hair behind the ears.
