Why arent you supposed to wash your hair while on your period?!
Question: Total old wives' tale. I don't even know why people used to think that - possibly because people only washed their hair very rarely, there was no hot water, etc.
It's probably to do with people thinking you were more likely to get sick on your period, and combining it with having a bath making you sick == bad idea.
But in reality there's no reason not to wash your hair or bathe while on your period; in fact, it's even more important to keep clean and fresh.

That's an old wives tale.
Very silly old wives tale.
Well I never heard that one before....I always wash my hair whether on period or not, and I got no problems with it lol.
Old wives tale, go ahead and wash your hair.
Pardon me????
Ive NEVER heard that before.....it is completely untrue. If anything its better to shower more during a period to stay nice and fresh!!
Where did you hear that one honey? Please wash your hair for your own sake! :)
Raunchy! I've never heard that myth....I wash my hair everyday.
You can wash your hair anytime u want
That's just an old wive's tale, and so not true!
its your hair, do what you want with it!!
thats just a myth. I like taking showers while on my period because i feel cleaner :)
thats so not true go ahead and wash your hair
Thats just an old wives tale probably back when our Great Great Great Grandmothers were teens
This is a total myth. As stated before, you should probably shower or take a bath more often while on your period. I generally take a shower in the morning, and a nice good soak at night. However, I don't wash my hair twice a day. If anything, you should only wash your hair every other day (especially in the winter) because washing your hair daily strips the natural oils out and can make your hair more brittle and frizzy, but that has nothing to do with your period. It's for the health of your hair only.
please bath your self daily regardless if aunt flow is visiting!
the only reason i could think of is bc ur hair gets oily faster on ur period(some girls) but i still wash my hair
