Hey! I got my sternum pierced yesterday, I was wondering, if when I wash my hair, the shampoo will harm it in any way, & would it be good to wash it with sea salt water? Also, I really don’t like it when blood kinda crusts around the piercing when I wake up, I woke up this morning & there was a tiny bit, obviously because it’s a new piercing, but even with my cleaning spray it’s hard to get off, what should I do to get rid of that?

You should definitely rinse your hair down your back, away from the piercing, and give the piercing a good rinse at the end of your shower to help get rid of any residues from shampoos or conditioners!

And I’ll always recommend a good old fashioned salt soak over using any spray you can think of (even the sea salt-based sprays, god forbid you’re using some BZK-based stuff), it will do a lot more to help your body heal the piercing by promoting cellular regeneration and circulation tot he area, and it’s always ideal to clean your piercings after you shower anyway, cos the shower helps loosen everything up a bit. Easy!
