The above question was asked and I gave an aswer that on reflection, was not a good one,
I would like to say to this person that actually, her mother is the one who should know, may be she suffers from them herself?
I am no health official and do not know this young woman`s health history, so she should really either listen to her own mother or visit someone who knows her well.
I hope she gets this message.

Answer her directly. You can edit your answers to add more detail. If she has already picked a best answer you can add a comment. Or e-mail her if her e-mail is available on her profile.
Edit: I apologize if I sound condescending by telling you things you already know. I see now that she has removed the question.
Edit 2 : No, it is still there so tack on an edit or e-mail her.

Are you a guy? Sounds like you don't even know what a "period" is. Every month, a woman makes an egg. If she doesn't have sexual intercourse (without protection) and her egg does not become impregnated, the egg leaves the body.
Of course she can wash her hair. Are you kidding? That's a VERY old "wives tale" from the late 1800s and early 1900s.
"Health history" doesn't matter. Back in those days there were all kinds of crazy things they told women not do do on their periods.
"Don’t wash your hair when you’re menstruating. There is absolutely no reason not to wash your hair, or take a bath or shower during menstruation. In fact, a nice warm bath can do a lot to relieve menstrual cramps and premenstrual tension."

I didn't see the original question, but this thing about hair washing during a period is one of those old wives tales. It was said that you were more likely to catch a chill at that time! Ideas have changed a lot since the early 1900s!
