A member asked:

I heard its unhealthy to cut ur hair while ur on ur period bc then it will take longer to growback. is it true?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

All false...: It is not unhealthy to cut your hair. It is not unhealthy to cut your hair during your period (your hair has no idea that you are having a period). And, it is also not true that your hair will take longer to grow back if you cut it during your period. There is no relationship among hair, hair cutting, and periods.
