of course you can wash your hair, your mum is crazy!

Why on earth would you not be able to?? That is ridiculous!! Wash away. You can do anything you feel like doing while on your period. Don't let old wives tales ruin your life.


Young lady there is no medical evidence anywhere that states that you shouldn't wash your hair while you have your 'friend'. In fact good hygeine is of the utmost importance during that time because of your hormonal surges.

It's fine, i think. just use warm water.

myself and health class. i'm not a doctor. What is her rationale on why you can't wash your hair while on your period?


That's an old wives tale. it's perfectly safe! take care.


there is no reason why you cant wash your hair during menses. ( your period) i am not sure how your mother heard this but it sounds like some kind of old wives tale to me. And i am a licensed paramedic. wash your hair all you like.

no. this is an old wives tale..just like swimming when we had our period. Our grandmother's and great-grandmothers did not understand the body's functions completely. Hince the "old wives tales" i can not think of one reason why your mom would say such a thing, but, yes, like everyone has said so far, I have to agree. There is no reason why you shouldn't wash your hair when you're on your period. Like one of the people answered, there really isn't anything you can not do while you're on your period. Well, I wouldn't recommend sex as it's, well, just really messy. But really.wash your hair!
