My hair has become so long and heavy and i really want a haircut. But my MIL is saying dont cut hair during pregnancy, some purana belief. Is it actually a problem or just a myth?
I was so scared of all the old wives' tales that I kept googling if cutting hair affects the baby! Honestly, it is 100% safe to get a haircut, just make sure the salon is clean and well-ventilated so you don't feel dizzy from the smell of other products.
Yes, absolutely, you can definitely get a haircut! There is no scientific reason to avoid it, and it will make you feel fresh and happy. Just avoid chemical hair treatments like coloring or straightening, and enjoy your pampering session.
When I was staying at my parents' place, my mom also advised me to avoid scissors during eclipses, but otherwise, she was totally fine with me getting a trim. Getting a haircut made me feel so light and refreshed during those heavy months. You can safely go for it.
Oh, I remember my mother-in-law telling me not to cut my hair, but my doctor laughed and said it's totally fine. I got a short bob cut in my second trimester because managing long hair was so tiring. My baby is a toddler now, and my hair grew back perfectly normal!
Of course you can cut your hair, pregnancy doesn't mean you have to look like a cavewoman! Go get that cute haircut and feel good about yourself. Just stay away from those strong-smelling hair dyes, unless you want to feel nauseous all over again!
