When postpartum hair loss has occurred, avoid perming your hair. Although postpartum hair loss is a normal physiological phenomenon, perming during this time can exacerbate hair loss. This is because the chemicals used during perming can irritate the scalp and may also cause allergies, worsening hair loss. Therefore, it is generally advised not to perm your hair too soon after childbirth. In daily life, it's important to rest, enhance nutrition, and adjust your mindset. Only consider perming your hair after your body has fully recovered. Moreover, during breastfeeding, try to avoid perming your hair to prevent chemicals from entering the bloodstream and affecting the baby through the breast milk.
