At the beginning of the confinement period, new mothers generally cannot wash their hair.

Tips for itchy head during confinement:

If you cannot wash your hair with water during confinement, you can prepare a piece of clean gauze, wet the gauze with alcohol, and put the wet gauze on the comb.

If your hair is itchy during confinement, you can use a rinse-free shampoo cap. It is very popular now. Just put it in hot water or a microwave oven to heat it for a while and then use it.
