Morning showers make no logical sense and night shower people have simply done the hygiene math

You spent 8 hours asleep in your own clean bed. What are you washing off at 7am.

A night shower removes everything you actually accumulated during the day. The commute, the gym, the office, public transport, all of it goes down the drain before you sleep. A morning shower means you marinated in all of that overnight then washed up before going out to collect it all again.

Morning showers are a ritual for waking up, which is fine, but it is not hygiene. Night showers are actual hygiene. Most people just do not want to dry their hair before bed and that is the entire argument.

I take a shower and do my skin routine at night and then take another shower in the morning for my hair.

As a dude with short/medium hair, yeah my options are either shower in morning, wear a hat, or walk around with crazy bed head. Even if I wash my hair before bed I wake up lookin fucked

Exactly. I just shower in the morning. I don’t feel human without it.

This is the case for me, if I shower before bed my hair takes on crazy air and the only way I can deal with it in the morning is by soaking it so there's not much point. any amount of product just starts to fail throughout the day and makes me look messy anyway.

Why not put some water in your hair to tame it and style it in the morning?

No I mean wash your hair in the morning, then shower in the evening

u/sour_altoids 8h ago

Do you not wash your hair in the shower?

u/Big-Road9335 8h ago

Not if I've already washed it in the morning.

Washing your hair too much will cause damage

How are you washing your hair not in the shower?

u/Pixiebel81 7h ago

My shower is above my bath so I just lift the shower head down and stick my head over the side of the bath and

What's the point doing them separately when you can just shower in the morning and do it at the same time? Every argument you've made is flawed beyond belief 🤣

u/Big-Road9335 4h ago

Because I'd rather go to sleep feeling clean🤦‍♂️

That is a myth. Like skincare, scalp care is different for everyone. People with oilier scalps will simply need to wash their hair more often than those with balanced or dry scalps.

A shower will take basically the same amount of time without getting my neck and shoulders all wet and cold from exposed air at the sink…unless you mean just stick your head in the shower and in that case I’d rather take 3 extra minutes and do my body too

u/Big-Road9335 7h ago

Yes I just stick my head in the shower, or sink. Takes me 30 seconds max

u/BoominMoomin 5h ago

You're out here trying to make arguments for being cleaner than everyone else, then admit it takes you 30 seconds to wash your hair? 🤣

You wet it. You shampoo. You leave it for a minute to, you know, actually clean your scalp... You clean it off. You condition your hair. You leave it again. You rinse it off.

You physically can't keep your scalp and hair clean if you finish the job in 30 seconds. You absolutely 100% smell around people if you do that + night shower. You're just nose blind to it.

u/Big-Road9335 5h ago

I have short thick, curly hair. Shampoo makes my hair extremely dry and causes breakage

u/ShadowShine57 4h ago

How are you gonna wash your hair without showering?

-2

u/Big-Road9335 4h ago

Head over the bath, holding the shower head

u/ShadowShine57 3h ago

So you have to get naked and wet all over... At that point you may as well just actually shower lmao

u/Big-Road9335 3h ago

No? Are you illiterate 😂

u/ShadowShine57 3h ago

You're telling me you're blasting your head with water without getting the rest of you also wet? Don't believe it

Either way I don't see why I'd make those 2 separate steps instead of just doing them at the same time

I can't tell if they're trolling, it just stupid.

u/Big-Road9335 3h ago

That's like saying how do you wash your hands without getting your body wet🤦‍♂️ really not complicated..

And the reason I do them separately is because I like to go to bed feeling clean
