Is it good to wash hair in moring? I often like to wash my hair with warm water in the morning, however it is said that it's not good to wash hair in the morning,because when people get up, the circulation of blood don't come to normal, blood flow slowly.The water will suddenly stimulate the flow of blood because the head of skin are sensitivity.However hair isn't easily dry when wash at night, because the air of humidity are big. When you slept, the rest of moisture will be dry against the body temperature.So doctor suggested the best time was noon. what time do you like to wash your hair?

It would be best to wash mid day every other day, this is to prevent drying of hair from the hair products we are putting into our crowning glory and let the natural oil to make our hair shiny and strong.

Since I go for work I prefer in the evening or early morning. But It's okay, my hair get dried even thogh I don't use dryer. If one works from home then its easy to follow the doctor's advice to wash at noon.

When I was in high school, I use to wash my hair early in the morning when I wake up at around 6am, and then in the afternoon when I come back from school. At times when I forgot to bathe, I would bathe before going to sleep with a wet head. However, I have been warned many times by my grandma/boyfriend that if I sleep with my hair wet, it is easy to get 'wind' in my head which will lead to severe headache as I grow older.
My mum told me that I should not bathe immediately after waking up as it is not good. I think this is the same as what you mentioned about blood circulation.
I now wash my hair in the morning after waking up. If I have school, then I don't have a choice. I will wash my hair before leaving. However, if I don't have school on that day, I usually use my computer, laze around before going into the bathroom!
Another thing to add is that I heard some people mentioning that we should keep our hair dry after washing. Have anyone of you heard this before?

I think, for me, when I take bath, that too in the morning, I wash my hair. I do not wash in the evening, when I go for shower.

well i usually was my hair with shampoo at least twice a day, just to remove the oiliness in morning and a full wash midnight.
they say that its dangerous to sleep while your hair is wet but i have been doing this in my entire life and nothing is wrong with me.

As far as I am concerned, I think the best time for me to wash my hair is about in the morening. I think it can be the ebst time for me, just for it can help me get rid of sleppness. When I get up in the morening, I will usually feel so sleepy and want to go back to sleep again. If I can have a wash with my hair, I think i will be full of energy the whole day long.

I haven't heard that washing hair in the morning will slow down our blood circulation. But i wash my hair everytime i take a bath which is usually in the morning since i go to work early in the morning. I will try to ask the doctors hopefully that i get to pass by when i get to work in a hospital..hopefully soon :D

I searched online and I found out that it is healthy to wash your hair during at night because you didn't have to got a dryer that kills the hair. At night , sebum, hair's oil naturally extracts and keep the hair shiny. I loved to wash my hair at night. Yet I also wash my hair in the morning because I live in a tropical country which if I'm not going to wash it in the morning I will feel so hot.

I wash my hair every two days because shampoo is not that good for the hair if you use it everyday, I wash it thoroughly with water but skipping two days would be better.

Hi,
I always wash my hair late afternoon around 5pm after I have done
with my cooking.
I just can't stand my oily smell hair,so that will be the best time to wash
my hair everyday.
Sometimes, I even have to use shower cap while cooking,to protect my hair
against those oily smell from my cooking.
I never heard that noon time is the best time to wash hair..Thanks for sharing
this info.

I don't think there is a best time to shampoo hair. Anytime is a good time. What I know is that you should use shampoo every other day and conditioner everyday to avoid dryness and dull hair due to residue. Shampoo will work well on your hair if you do this.

I like to as early as possible as I have long hair down to my waist and it is really thick so washing it at night would be sort of hard to go to bed with it damp.
