Hair wash during pregnancy

2024-01-23 08:58:50
I am 20 weeks pregnant. Can I wash my hair normally twice a week with a mild shampoo ( Dove). Will it cause any harm or problem. And also to remove hair from body can a gentle female razor be used when it's necessary? Please advise . I have not washed my hair from last 3 months due to this superstition.

Please shampoo your hair urgently. Razor is also fine. Please stop believing superstitions. Infections due to improper personal hygiene is way more dangerous than these baseless beliefs.
