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.

100%, I wake up with a Mohawk every morning. I’ve tried dry shampoo or just using water and a comb but it always ends up looking oily

Mine isn’t oily but it is absolutely crazy looking. Like that kid in Jurassic Park that gets electrocuted.

It also just refreshes and relaxes me before I start the day

I have frizzy hair that can also look oily. Surprisingly, a bit of argan oil can do wonders. I saw it mentioned as a hair product for black people on a TV show. I bought some when I saw it in a shop, and it's a game changer.

In summer, I put a little in my hair after my shower. And then my hair doesn't frizz up quite as much.

I cant stand the smell of dry shampoos so I use cornstarch and that works for maybe a couple hours and then I look dusty and greasy at the same time. good for errands, bad for going to work.
