Is it good to wash your hair at night? Do you know these precautions?

Studies have found that the best time to wash your hair is 9 o'clock in the evening, because 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock in the morning is the regeneration and active period of scalp cells. Washing the scalp before this time can promote the regeneration of scalp cells. The least suitable time to wash your hair is after 10 o'clock to the morning.

1. The best time to wash your hair is 9 pm

Because 10 pm to 2 am is the regeneration and active period of scalp cells, washing the scalp before this can promote the regeneration of scalp cells. In fact, it is more suitable to wash your hair from 1 pm to 10 pm. The least suitable time for washing your hair is from 10 pm to the morning, when the scalp is relaxed and resting, and is not suitable for excessive stimulation.

2. Blow dry your hair before going to bed

There are many harmful effects of sleeping with wet hair, such as catching colds easily, damaging hair scales, increasing hair loss, deteriorating hair quality, etc. Before going to bed, make sure your hair is more than 90% dry. This can reduce damage to the hair cuticles and keep your hair smooth for a long time.

3. Don’t comb wet hair

After washing your hair, the hair scales are still open. If you comb your hair too many times at this time, the hair scales will be obviously damaged, and the hair will become very frizzy after it dries.

4. Don’t scratch your scalp with your nails

Do not scratch your scalp with your nails while washing your hair. Although this feels good, it may cause damage to your scalp. The correct way is to gently press your scalp with your fingertips.

5. Don’t pour shampoo directly on your head

Shampoo must be poured into the palm of your hand first, rubbed evenly before washing your hair. If you pour shampoo directly onto your scalp, it is easy to cause chemical residues, and the cleaning effect is not ideal (it is not conducive to foaming).

6. Water temperature is around 40 degrees

Washing your hair with cold water is the most irritating to the scalp and may cause hair loss! Washing your hair with too hot water will also damage the hair follicles. The best water temperature is around 40 degrees, which should feel slightly hotter than body temperature.

7. It’s better to wash your hair less often

If your hair is not greasy, you should not wash it every day, because washing your hair will cause the hair scales to open. There will inevitably be some loss in the process from opening to closing of the hair scales, so washing your hair every day is not conducive to better hair quality. But some people have very oily hair, in which case they can wash their hair once a day, because keeping it clean is much more important than the loss of hair scales.
