Answer the question: “Can pregnant women cut their hair?” - Each woman will be able to, relying on her own ideas and feelings, and not on what is obsessively required by others, old signs and the media.
First things first.
A few words from the story
In the early centuries and until the beginning of the 20th century, all people - both women and men - were quite reverent about the process of hair cutting. After all, it has long been known that hair is the vehicle of God's energy. And therefore, a careful attitude to them, a fear of losing this heavenly support, as well as any negative impact from other people (evil eye, damage) forced to do all kinds of sacred manipulations with this part of the body.
Men and women, as well as children, always had their hair cut in their home, and their hair was burned in an oven. Thus, it was believed that the whole family was protected from negativity and evil influence on any of the households.
Long hair for a woman was always a symbol of femininity, spiritual strength. In historical times, she had to cut her hair only twice in her life: on the wedding day (the process was a symbol of “transition” from one genus to another - the husband’s) and before leaving earthly life (most likely, it also symbolized the “transition” from one state to another, from one world to another).
As for the male part of the population, everything was different here. Men got their hair cut more often and bother less about it.
Although the ritual of burning their shaved hair in the hearth, in order not to bring about failure and evil influence, was supported.
Can pregnant women cut their hair?
The head, like the other part of the body, requires care. Including hair. And especially if the haircut is short or model. Easier for women who have just long hair.
Based on the historical aspect on this issue, many women worry when they decide to have a haircut - due to superstition that, together with their strength, they take it away from an unborn child.
There are even more exaggerated interpretations: if you get a haircut during pregnancy, then the baby will be born dead.
Of course, this is more of a problem than a real fact of life. Moreover, medicine does not see any threat to the baby in the womb at all if the mother cuts her hair.
But if a woman firmly believes in what old signs and other people say about this, then it is better to leave this procedure until the postpartum period. Or get a haircut according to the lunar calendar.
Care for the hair is necessary in any case!
Modern medicine
Representatives of the health system conducted a series of observations of women who were registered for the entire term and were soon to give birth. And they answer the question: “Can pregnant women cut their hair, dye, and so on?”, Based on the results:
- There is absolutely no correlation between the procedure for cutting hair and the condition of an unborn baby;
- the decision on how to expect a future mother to care for her hair is made by herself (except in cases where the woman's impression is too strong, which entails a decrease in faith in a positive outcome of the procedure);
- it is not recommended to use persistent cream paints and shampoo shades during pregnancy, it is better to replace them with natural hair dyes (henna);
- there are cosmetics that contain natural components and do not cause negative reactions from the woman’s body; these are exactly what are shown to the expectant mother.
Hair Care During Pregnancy
Nevertheless, no matter what decision a woman makes regarding whether it is possible to cut the ends of her hair for pregnant women or radically change her entire hair style, it is simply necessary to take care of herself and her hair.
Due to the fact that during this period cardinal changes occur in the body, including hormonal ones, hair can react in its own way to this: change the type of fat content, become thicker or less frequent, stronger or, conversely, brittle.
Much depends on the mental and physiological state of the expectant mother, as well as hereditary factors, the state of the environment of the area in which she lives during pregnancy.
It is good to use natural components for washing and rinsing the head:
- miraculous mask of yolk, lemon juice and kefir;
- excellent mask of yolk, olive oil, banana and fat sour cream;
- scalded herbal infusions (nettle, burdock, yarrow, mint, birch leaves and much more) to strengthen the hair.
Depending on the type of hair, you can prepare decoctions of herbs:
- for normal - chamomile or burdock root, brewed in boiling water and infused for a while;
- fatty - plantain, yarrow;
- dry - mint, infusion of birch leaves.
The most important thing that every woman needs to remember is that in all hair care products, the components must be exclusively natural. And also without alcohol.

What to do in this case? Can pregnant women cut their hair to other people?

And signs should be trusted as little as possible, because in life everything is a little simpler and easier. And it’s better to tune in to positive than to wind yourself up with unnecessary information.
