Tips to Take Care of your Hairs During Covid-19

The coronavirus pandemic has infected millions of people in India. The fear of being infected with this virus has forced many of the globe’s citizens to stay at home and work from home. To eliminate the potential spread of this virus, the government has taken the initiative to shutdown certain businesses including salons. On the 19th of May, the Telangana government had allowed the functioning of hair cutting salons as a part of easing the lockdown restriction.

As beauty is a very contact-led service, many customers continue to visit salons constantly surrounded by the fear of contracting the virus. So, is it really safe to visit a salon for hair services during these times? We have managed to shortlist and answer some common questions that might be popping up in your head. Read on to find out!

General safety: Is it safe to get a haircut?

It’s absolutely safe to get a haircut as long as everyone involved in the process follows the safety measures and hygiene protocols. As it is impossible to distance yourself from your hairstylist, masks should be worn.

High-risk patients: Is it safe for them to get a haircut?

Dr. McGeorge, MD, Emergency Medicine Specialist says people in the high-risk group can visit salons; however they should be extra cautious to not expose themselves to the virus.

Can COVID-19 survive on hair?

According to an article published by TOI, there is not much evidence to establish the link between coronavirus on hair. We do not know how long the virus can stay or survive on your hair. However, there is a possibility that it can stay for a few days or at least some hours. We generally do not touch our hair to do necessary things. Hence, the possibility of coming in contact with the virus through hair is less.

Safety measures:

Social distancing should be maintained. Hygiene protocols must be followed. Sanitization must take place. Ventilation is important. The air should be fresh and flowing. Every staff member and the customer will be checked with a thermometer for body temperature. Finally, everyone should use a mask.
