Night wash or morning wash? The Korean scalp care habit debate
Ask about hair washing habits in Korea and you will often hear that washing at night is the norm among scalp-care fans. The reasoning people give is that it removes the day's sweat, oil, sunscreen and pollution before sleeping on your pillow.
The night-wash case, as people describe it:
-
Scalp goes to bed clean after a long day outside.
-
More time in the morning.
-
Pairs well with a scalp serum or tonic before bed.
The morning-wash case:
-
Hair looks fresher and has more volume during the day.
-
Better for people who style their hair daily.
-
Avoids going to bed with wet hair.
**The one thing almost everyone agrees on:**if you wash at night,dry your scalp fully before sleeping. Sleeping with a damp scalp is widely described as a bad idea for comfort and hygiene.
Oily scalps in humid summers sometimes end up doing both, with a gentle rinse in the morning.
When do you wash your hair, and has switching ever changed how your scalp feels?
