Don't wash your hair in the morning — why it's a bad idea.

It seems that washing your hair in the morning is the most logical thing to do. But this can lead to dryness, headaches, and even slow hair growth.

Why experts do not recommend washing hair in the morning

Morning washing takes away the protection of hair While you sleep, the scalp produces sebum — a natural oil that protects hair from drying out. And it is at its peak in the morning. But what do we do? We wash it away with shampoo before it has a chance to work. As a result, dry ends, brittleness, and dullness.

In the morning the body is not yet 'on' After sleep, blood circulation is still slow, blood vessels are constricted. If you wash your hair at this moment and go outside — especially when it's cool — you can easily provoke spasms. And that leads to headaches, weakened nourishment of hair follicles, and consequently, slow hair growth.

Stress hormone and oily roots In the morning, cortisol — the stress hormone — is at its highest level. And the scalp is very sensitive to its spikes. Therefore, aggressive washing or hot water can disrupt the balance, and hair will become oily faster than usual.

Loss of Time and energy Drying and styling hair takes away morning energy. And smart people know: morning is gold. It's better to use it for yourself, tasks, or even a quiet breakfast, rather than dancing with a hairdryer.

Hair has its own rhythm Just like skin or mood. By evening, hair follicles are more active, and that’s when you should help them — wash, nourish, without disrupting the natural recovery process. Morning washing can disrupt this rhythm.
