What to do if pregnant women have lice in their hair

If pregnant women do not pay attention to personal hygiene in their daily lives, they may get lice on their hair. This is also related to the relatively poor physical constitution of pregnant women. When lice appear, they should be dealt with in time to avoid adverse effects on the health of pregnant women. If it is more serious, it is best to cut the long hair off. This is a very good method. In addition, you can comb your hair with a fine comb and use a lice-shaped hairpin to wash your hair, which are also very effective.

What to do if pregnant women have lice in their hair

1. Haircut

Lice grow on hair, so the best way to get rid of lice is to cut your hair so that the eggs and lice have no room to survive. But female friends all love beauty and are unwilling to do this. However, if the expectant mother has lice, this is the simplest and safest method. Everything is worth it for the baby.

If you really don't want to shave your head, you should cut your hair short and thin it out to make it easier to clean and remove lice.

2. Wash your hair with Baibu

Baibu is a traditional Chinese medicine, and it is only used for washing hair. It has little effect on pregnant women, so pregnant women can use Baibu to wash their hair to remove lice.

Specific method: Soak 200 grams of Stemona japonica in vinegar water overnight. Then after washing your hair, apply the Stemona japonica liquid on your hair and scalp. Rinse with clean water after 15 minutes.

3. Wash your hair with white vinegar

Vinegar can break down the material that binds the lice eggs to the hair, making them easier to remove. Therefore, pregnant women can rub vinegar on their hair, wrap it with a towel for one night, and wash it off the next day. Trying this a few times can effectively remove lice eggs.

And washing your hair with vinegar can effectively improve hair problems such as itchy scalp and dandruff.

4. Comb your hair with a fine comb

Combing your hair with a fine comb when it is semi-dry can also remove lice.

However, combing your hair in this way can be painful and cannot completely remove lice. It is best to kill the lice first by other methods, and then comb your hair frequently with a fine comb to comb out the lice eggs left in the hair.

5. Wash clothes and quilts

After completely eliminating the lice from the hair, expectant mothers also need to take lice-killing measures in the living environment and clothing to prevent lice from growing again.

Ask the husband or other family members to spray aerosol insecticide at home to kill cockroaches, termites, whiteflies, flies, etc. The expectant mother waits outside and goes home only after the smell dissipates.

In addition, used combs, rakes, hats, scarves, headscarves, pillowcases, bedding, clothes, etc. should be soaked in boiling water for sterilization, and then washed and dried.
