Grandmother’s care: In Hindu religion, Peepal and Tulsi are considered sacred and have special religious significance. Similarly, the role of grandmother is also like that of Peepal and Tulsi. The meaning of Peepal and Tulsi is that just as the huge Peepal tree does not give fruits but definitely gives shade and the small Tulsi plant does not give flowers and fruits but it has many medicinal properties.
Grandmothers also play a similar role in our lives. Their advice and prevention save us from future and present problems. Talking about menstruation, in Indian society there is not just one but many types of talks regarding menstruation.

During menstruation, women are prohibited from doing many things like touching pickles, performing puja, touching the idols of gods and goddesses, watering trees and plants. One of these prohibited tasks is washing hair. Washing hair or taking bath can be your personal decision. But grandmothers forbid washing hair for the first three days of the period. If you accept these words of your grandmothers, then you can avoid health related problems in future.
what does the scriptures say
Astrologer Anish Vyas explains that women are prohibited from doing religious work during menstruation. In such a situation, one should not enter the temple nor perform puja until the body is completely purified. Therefore, when the period is over, women must wash their hair and take a bath. At the same time, the body of women who do not wash their hair after the end of their period is not considered pure.
It is also advised not to wash hair in the initial days of the period, because during this time the body temperature of women remains hot and in such a situation, upon washing the hair, the body temperature cools down rapidly. To avoid rapid changes in body temperature, washing hair is prohibited at this time.
