Can I breastfeed after getting my hair (permed)?

Patient's question:

Can I breastfeed after getting a perm during breastfeeding? This situation has been going on for a while, and as parents, we are very worried. We hope the doctor can give some advice.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: It is okay to get a perm, but it is best to use less makeup. If an allergy occurs, it is difficult to take medication during breastfeeding. However, if you get your hair permmed, it is important to wash your hair, take a shower, and change your clothes promptly. If your hair is washed thoroughly, it will have no effect on breastfeeding. This is because washing your hair and taking a shower removes the chemicals that have been applied, leaving no contaminated chemicals on your body. Therefore, there will be no harm when holding the baby and breastfeeding.
