To wash my hair in the morning?

[NeitherHairNorNair]

Quick one for you all- some perspective needed here please!

DP says all women he's ever known have washed their hair at night, before bed.

I say no, done in the morning shower as always. In the evening would also mean an extra shower.

For context on my hair wash days it only adds 5 minutes onto my routine. He takes twice as long in the shower every day.

What do you all do? What's the most common thing?

YABU hair wash in the evening

YANBU hair wash in morning

Well I'm one of those people who has to wash it every day and if I washed it on a night it would be greasy again by the next morning

I can't believe people are so ridgid in their habits?

Usually I wash in the pm every few days ( hair) but I might also wash in the am!

And I don't think I've ever Been with a man who would notice or care?

My OH often says sweeping statements like this eg "everyone I know has gone to that restaurant" (as if everyone he knows tells him that!). So your OH is no doubt exaggerating. But anyway, I usually wash my hair in the morning as that's when I exercise. I find it sets me up for the day anyway

Mine would be a fright if I washed it then slept on it. YANBU.

Morning for me, every other day (shower daily)

I wash my hair in the evening. It’s long and I leave it to dry rather than frazzle it with the hairdryer. I couldn’t get in bed without having a shower in the evening.

A quick hose down in the morning without a hair wash is just a couple of minutes. I’d have to get up a lot earlier to wash hair in the morning!

Morning as I have to shower in the morning to wake up and don't want to twice. I also hate going to bed with wet hair but am too lazy to blow dry it.

I prefer a morning wash as I get sweaty in the night

How as it come about he has an opinion on whrn you wash your hair ?

I wash mine in the evening, I blow dry it and wouldn’t to do that in the morning as it would wake the baby and my husband up too early.

For me it's so variable, but once daily is necessary as it's oily. It's nicer done in the morning as it's fresher for the day, but I do a workout in the morning sometimes so shower after that, just before lunch. See, variable.

Morning here.

My daughter who has long thick hair bizarrely washes it in the evening and goes to bed with it wet. 🤔😱

I do mine in the morning as it gets into a weird flattened shape overnight

Morning, every other day

DP says all women he's ever known have washed their hair at night, before bed.

How odd that he knows when all the women he's ever know wash their hair.

Is this a point of discussion, or does he think he has a right to have an issue with something here?

I wash my hair in the morning mostly. Occasionally at night. It's long (I can sit on it) I do what suits ME.

I cannot stand it when some knob says 'all the women I've known...'

you're not fucking James Bond & I don't give a crap what 'other women' do!

YABU to think everyone showers in the morning - showering in the evening instead is pretty common.

But I wash my hair in the morning as I have curly hair and it’s better without being slept on.

I do mine in the evening if it needs done and I'm working the next day. Only reason is because it's too much for me to wash my hair, get ready for work, get kids up and ready for school and do lunches in the mornings, as we have to leave the house by 7:45am.

If I'm not working that day, then I usually do it in the morning.

Mine is naturally frizzy and if I just left it or even just blow dried it I would look a frizzy mess so I need time to blow dry and either curl or straighten it so unless it's a weekend and I have to to get ready at a leisurely pace I will always wash it in the evening

YANBU at all!

I wash mine every time I have a shower, which could be any time of day really depending on what else I'm doing - so, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the evening if I've been exercising or doing gardening during the day. But on balance, I'd say I shower (and hence wash my hair) more often in the mornings than in the evenings - especially if I'm going out during the day, eg on the days I go to the office rather than work from home I would always wash it in the morning.

However, it really doesn't matter when a) the other women in DP's life chose to wash their hair or b) when anyone else on Mumsnet washes their hair. All that matters is that you wash your hair when it's convenient for you! It's quite weird of your DP to have even thought about this, really - why would anyone not just wash their hair when they felt it needed it?! Like you say, you're already showering anyway; it's not like washing your hair is some kind of event that needs its own separate timeslot!

My hair takes about ten years to dry and style so I do evening because I don’t have time for it in the morn. It only needs doing every three days tho. Otherwise I tend to shower in the eve as opposed to morning but it’s each to their own. My dh showers in the morn.

I blow dry my hair which takes a bit of time so I wash mine in the evening and then use a silk pillowcase so it doesn't get matted etc. I usually use pret a powder after the gym if I go in the morning and a shower cap. I don't think a morning shower is that unusual though!

It doesn't matter if every woman on the planet washes their hair in the evenings. It's up to you when you want to wash yours.

I tend to wash mine whenever it needs washing. Whether it be morning or evening

Sometimes I wash at night and sometimes in the morning so I never chose any of your options

Your DP obviously doesn't know every woman ever does he. I suspect he doesn't know that many at all to make daft statements like that.

Plenty of people wash their hair in the morning. I wash mine sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, sometimes in the evening, sometimes at night. Depends what I'm doing that day.
