Eh, ignore them if you can, from the sound of it, there's no use discussing with
them because they're too gullible and would have a hard head when someone
disagree with them. You don't have to do what they tell you to, if you can.
No comment.
The people in your residence are gullible, maybe I sould pay a visit...*shifty
eyes*
Screw them, and wash your hair. Would you rather smell like shit and not wash
your hair just because you have PMS?
well, i don't think so. if never heard of it before either and i shampoo my hair
when i had a period and nothing happens :O in my religion, we should shampoo our
hair when our period have stopped as to 'cleanse' ourselves n___n
That's a really weird belief... I shampoo all the time when I have my period.
Why wouldn't I? >.> My mom told me to be more careful and make sure to
clean more because of my period cuz of all the bacteria and stuff when you have
that blood and stuff. Though, that doesn't relate to hair I guess... But weird
indeed. Just ignore them! Just because they believe something like that, it
doesn't mean you have to and they sure don't need to force their beliefs on you
like that.
*shrugs* I guess just don't tell them you shampoo - I wouldn't stop. I mean,
your preiod can last, for some people, up to a week. I don't think greasy hair
for a week would be too good.
A whole week without washing! I'd go crazy... lol, I hate greasy hair, yuck.. I
can't stand not washing my hair even for a day (yet, washing everyday IS bad for
the hair ) o_O funny belief lol. Then again, my mother believes women are
more likely to mess up when you're cooking and burn things that normally would
be impossible to mess up (like sauce and such...) I avoid cooking all the time,
but now, when I'm having my period and burn something, I can blame it on
something
As for the shampooing, well, you should keep on doing it, just tell them you
don't believe in such things and that the proof is, your blood is still flowing
regardless of the fact that you've shampooed while having them before...
Hm...I think that's pretty stupid. How would not washing your hair decrease your
blood flow? That is pretty weird. But I guess if you don't want oily and dirty
hair, you should wash. I mean I would trade a heavier blood flow and look nicer
hair-wise. I guess that would be a bit vain though. XP
Wow, this is the first I've heard of something like this. As everone else has
already suggested, keep washing. If you want to wash your hair, then wash your
hair. Just don't tell them.
WOAH! really? is that true?
well for me! nah uh! dont wanna to smell stink!
it is better to get washed than to smell stink + smell like you know your
PMs
just go and wash your hair so you will not smell stink!
No, it's just a myth...sure, your period stops when you're in water (God knows
why!) but that's the way it is. Shampoo has NOTHING to do with it (I've taken a
bath during my menstruation LOTS of times, and I'm still fine!).
Explain to your parents that the shampoo thing is a MYTH...and that a MYTH is
NOT REAL...
Your period won't stop. I have been shampooing my hair for years while I have
had my period so I think that you are safe. I would just ignore what they say
and do it anyways. Unless upsetting them really upsets you. I don't know if it
is your family that is telling you this and you are close to them. If not I
would wash your hair. Periods can last awhile and you don't want your hair
getting really nasty!
Good Luck !
thats just stupid, how would washing your hair have anything to do with the
hormones that control menstruation? Just ignore them and wash your hair, because
if you stop its not going to change anything other than how you smell.
i agree with everyone else though i have my period every two months and my
docter said its because i have to much stress or that i excersise too much!well
anyways syour period won't stop i and i heard alot of thoughs kines of belifs
here where i live your is kind o similar like that you can't take a bath at all
because it'll stop or you can't eat anything cold or it'll stop..i don't about
another belif but people say that if you eat choclate you'll have
more...hmmm....
Haha as all of the above said, it`s nothing to do with your period so jus
explain to your family... But i do heard that women are nt suppose to bath for
one month after they give birth to baby so does it have the same concept?!
*Blinks* Oh please! Wash your hair, if shampooing your hair made the blood flow
stop then I would be in the shower for all 6 days of my PMS cycle. So would most
other women... well maybe not for all six days *Swet drop*. As for what you
should do. Well thats up to you. I think washing your hair is the best choice,
but thats just me. They can say whatever they want, just because someone says
something is true, doesn't mean it is.
Hm...my race have alot of beliefs too, but as you grow up, those beliefs are
just there to scare you. Its not something serious, so you dun have to pay much
attention to it. Who knows, not washing your hair when you have ur period is
only an excuse to cut down on shampoo intake...u noe how shampoo's can be
expensive! Like most of them say here, keep your hair clean always....
Furthermore, there's no scientific explanations stating that your period would
stop if you wash your hair.
hi!
i live in an area where the people have a lot of beliefs no matter how bizarre.
And one of them is one should not shampoo their hair while they are having their period because it will make the flow of blood cease.
Honestly I don't believe in it. But they always scold me whenever I shampoo my hair whenever I have my period!Pretty stupid,huh?
what can i do?
Eh, ignore them if you can, from the sound of it, there's no use discussing with them because they're too gullible and would have a hard head when someone disagree with them. You don't have to do what they tell you to, if you can.

lol that was kinda funny..
anyway, you shouldn't believe in urban legends like those. go ahead and shampoo
your hair! 
well, i don't think so. if never heard of it before either and i shampoo my hair when i had a period and nothing happens :O in my religion, we should shampoo our hair when our period have stopped as to 'cleanse' ourselves n___n

Actually I've heard that washing your hair during your period also gives you dark circles under your eyes..
Funneh.
Wow, this is the first I've heard of something like this. As everone else has already suggested, keep washing. If you want to wash your hair, then wash your hair. Just don't tell them.
WOAH! really? is that true?
well for me! nah uh! dont wanna to smell stink!
it is better to get washed than to smell stink + smell like you know your PMs
just go and wash your hair so you will not smell stink!

Period doesn't stop when you're in water. At least, not for me.
Your period won't stop. I have been shampooing my hair for years while I have had my period so I think that you are safe. I would just ignore what they say and do it anyways.

omg! i have so much spelling errors in my earlier post well anyways why can't you bath for a month?

THATS THE SAME FOR ME TOO ,DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO ALL THESE THINGS KEEPING HAIR CLEAN IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TASK FROM MY VIEW.

^ That makes it a mere superstition then. Honestly I've never heard of such a case at all in my life, and probably not for as long as I live...
