Hair dryer in hospital?

[LittleMissRayofHope]

Hi, am 31 weeks and getting maternity bag sorted.
This is NOT a vanity thing, more a comfort and ease thing. I find myself feeling very hot and uncomfortable with wet hair, I have quite long hair, shoulder blade length if not longer.

I am anticipating a short hospital stay after birthing DS due to reasons not important to this post. And I will definitely want a shower hair wash after birthing.
So.... Do I take a hair drier? I'm due in early/mid September. Could still be warm, could be miserable weather! I will check if the hospital even allow them but last time they didn't have a problem with appliances (phones and such) but I never considered a hair drier as I fully expected to leave same day! (Didn't work out, stayed 2 days!) but it was a heat wave July and my hair dried in minutes!

Does this seem OTT? Like I say it's not about looking good, I don't care about that. But I have psoriasis and having wet/damp hair can make it terribly itchy!

Could you use dry shampoo?

I found the hospital hot, so my hair dried pretty quickly. I did have a tin of Batiste with me, just in case.

My hospital had a hairdryer behind the nurses station for patients to use.

Can't use dry shampoo due to psoriasis. It aggregates it for me, then I'm itching and flaking all over the place!!

Thanks for suggestions. I'll enquire with my midwife at next appointment.

My hospital also had one to loan. That and a fan as it was so flipping hot!

I took a travel one in and it was fine.

I have quite thick hair and it dried really quickly as the ward was really hot. October and February births.
