Tips for washing your hair after getting your ears pierced

Nowadays, if you walk on the street, you can basically see that most women have pierced ears, and there are also boys with pierced ears. Ear piercing can beautify our appearance, but it is very troublesome to do it at first. You have to worry about whether it will get inflamed and whether it will have sequelae. It is also very troublesome when washing your hair and face, as your hair will get wet more or less when washing your ears. So, what are the tips for washing hair with pierced ears?

①. Apply some erythromycin ointment (or chloramphenicol ointment) to the front and back exits of the ear hole before washing, and then stick a waterproof Band-Aid on each of the front and back exits of the ear hole.

② After washing, use a clean cotton swab dipped in medical alcohol to wipe the front and back exits of the ear hole.

③. According to your own habits and hair length, take a bath and wash your hair separately.

1. The best time to get your ears pierced: The best time to get your ears pierced is at the end of March and the end of September every year because the weather is just right, neither too cold nor too hot. At other times, it is either too cold or too hot, which is not conducive to ear repair.

2. Time required to replace earrings: Never listen to people who have their ears pierced who say you can replace them after three days. It will not make it easy for the earrings to grow back properly and it can easily cause inflammation. Personal experience: You must take them off when you rotate the earrings and there is no unpleasant feeling, which should be about a month. Before the wound heals, it is generally difficult to poke the earring into the hole and it is more likely to poke the wound, resulting in new injuries before the old ones have healed. In fact, it takes about a year for the ear piercing to heal completely. During this period, there will be water leakage and itching. At this time, remember to use a cotton swab dipped in disinfectant to clean it. People with sensitive skin must be careful when getting their ears pierced, because according to scientific principles, the skin on the ears is the best indicator of a person's true skin type. If the inflammation is severe, you must go to the hospital in time to resolve it. In addition, some advice for those girls with skin allergies: a. Make sure to find a clean place to get your earrings done; b. Make sure your earrings are anti-allergenic or made of platinum.

3. Medicines needed to maintain ear piercings: Some girls think that chloramphenicol eye ointment should never be used to keep the ear piercings clean. However, if it is not used, the pus from the ear piercings will stick to the ear piercings and the earrings. Once the earrings are turned, the healed wounds will break again. This is simply a vicious cycle. In fact, just use an ear needle (that is, earrings), dip it in a little chloramphenicol, and then wear them. Personally, I think erythromycin is more effective than chloramphenicol, but of course it is slightly more expensive. How to use: Use erythromycin ointment with medical alcohol, clean it once every five days, use silver earrings, or plastic ones, take them out on time, first clean the ear holes, earrings, and earplugs with alcohol, put the needle of the earring into the ointment, prick it and then insert it, and apply ointment around the ear holes. During that period, eat less irritating foods, keep your ears clean, avoid strong collisions to avoid damaging the ear holes, use silver earrings instead of curved hooks, and if you persist for a month, the ear holes will not die or become inflamed. In addition, if you don’t have erythromycin ointment, Mentholatum’s mint ointment is also a very good choice.

4. The most suitable earrings for maintaining ear holes: Generally, those made of pure silver, pure gold, or pure platinum will not cause inflammation. If they are made of plastic, they will not cause inflammation if they are cleaned daily. I even think that if your skin is not allergic, you can just go for plastic, which is cheap and easy to use. Many earrings on the market, including some famous brands, are not pure, so they are prone to inflammation. Many beautiful Korean popular earrings are basically not pure, so the way to control it is, you'd better not be obsessed with fashion, and wait until the ear piercings are fully healed before chasing fashion. Ear piercings that are not well maintained from the beginning are generally prone to inflammation in the future, and then the gain will outweigh the loss. Friendly reminder: Generally, hoop earrings heal faster than stud earrings. This is probably because the ear holes with hoop earrings are breathable from front to back, unlike stud earrings which always block the ear holes.

5. Recommend a new method for ear piercing: Medical steel and hydrogen peroxide: This is a combination I want to recommend to everyone. My two newest holes were made with medical steel. They can come into contact with water on the same day. Just spray some hydrogen peroxide to thoroughly disinfect them after contact with water, and they will not cause inflammation. Because it saves time and effort, if you choose this method of ear piercing, the price is about 2-3 times that of ear piercing in ordinary small shops. In fact, this method of ear piercing became popular abroad as early as two years ago. The above is just a brief talk about my personal experience. Finally, I would like to say that you should not pierce your ears too many times. Remember to do it in moderation. Although everyone loves beauty, excessive use is not advisable. Another reason is that the ear is a sensitive area with many acupuncture points, so it is better to be cautious.
