How many days after the scraping can I wash my hair

Adults often choose to have scraping treatment due to physical fatigue caused by high-pressure work or study. Scraping can make people feel much more comfortable, but there are also many things to pay attention to after scraping. Any improper use can damage health. For example, can you wash your hair after scraping? Gua Sha is a technique that dilates blood vessels on the surface of the skin, allowing blood to flow more smoothly. At this time, the blood vessels in the head are bleeding more than usual, so it is recommended not to wash your hair immediately.
