Can I perm my hair after postpartum hair loss?

During postpartum hair loss, it is not advisable to perm your hair, as perming can accelerate hair loss. The process of perming involves the use of chemical agents, which contain toxic substances, including heavy metals. These can irritate the hair follicles and cause severe hair loss. Additionally, during breastfeeding, the toxic substances from perming can penetrate the scalp and enter the bloodstream, and then make their way into the baby's body through breast milk, causing adverse effects on the baby. The chemicals used in hair perming can also potentially cause allergic reactions in women, and if the baby comes into contact with these substances, they can also trigger allergies. Therefore, for the health of both the mother and the baby, it is best to avoid perming hair at this time.

What causes baby hair loss?

Hair loss in children is generally due to relatively simple reasons, mostly related to irregular eating habits or picky eating, and malnutrition. According to traditional Chinese medicine, this may be caused by a deficiency of both qi and blood. Therefore, when hair loss is noticed in children, it is advisable to visit a formal medical institution to get a blood test for trace elements to see if there is a deficiency of certain substances. Additionally, some children may indeed have internal diseases, such as kidney or liver diseases, which can lead to physical weakness and hair loss. In most cases, mild hair loss in children does not require special treatment and can gradually improve by adjusting diet and lifestyle habits.

What should a girl do if she has severe hair loss?

When women experience severe hair loss, they should first go to a hospital for relevant examinations to identify the specific causes. Treatment for female hair loss should target the cause. Options include using androgen receptor inhibitors and biological response modifiers such as minoxidil, spironolactone, etc. Topical applications typically involve the use of selenium sulfide-based dandruff and itch-relieving cleansers, and herbal treatments can also be used. Female hair loss is usually related to staying up late, poor rest, excessive mental tension, anxiety, and heredity. In women, hair loss usually does not involve much recession of the frontal hairline; it is primarily a thinning of hair on the top of the head. Therefore, it is crucial for women experiencing hair loss to seek standardized treatment and avoid misusing medications, which could potentially cause greater damage to the hair follicles and exacerbate the condition.
