The dangers of men washing their hair at night

Many people are busy with work during the day and have little time to wash their hair. They usually only have time to wash their hair when they get home at night. However, it is generally not recommended to wash your hair at night. Washing your hair at night will affect your health. After washing your hair with hot water at night, it is easy to cause the capillaries of the scalp to dilate, which can easily lead to the body's resistance becoming worse, and indirectly affect your health, especially for men. What are the dangers of men washing their hair at night?

The dangers of men washing their hair at night

1. Causes decreased immunity

Night is when Yang Qi is weak and Yin Qi is strong. When you wash your hair, your head will come into contact with water, causing the heat in your head to begin to dissipate. The brain's ability to resist cold begins to weaken.

When heat production decreases and heat dissipation increases, it will cause problems with temperature regulation, resulting in the inability to maintain normal metabolism, leading to decreased immunity and the occurrence of diseases.

2. Cause respiratory diseases

When washing your hair, the water temperature is high, which will cause the capillaries in the head to expand and the body's heat dissipation rate will increase a lot. However, after washing your hair, the hair will still be in a state of evaporation. During this heat dissipation process, the body will be cooled, the reflex respiratory tract will begin to contract, and the blood flow will decrease accordingly, causing the upper respiratory tract resistance to begin to decrease.

Some latent bacteria begin to invade the body, causing respiratory difficulties, colds, coughs, runny noses and other symptoms, affecting health.

3. Cause hair loss

Washing your hair at night will also cause the heat in the head to dissipate faster, and the blood circulation in the head will be disrupted, which will not be able to maintain the normal supply of the scalp, which can easily cause hair to fall out.

Wet hair is actually very sensitive. As the hair slowly dries, it will become very brittle and begin to fall off.

4. Cause insomnia

Going to bed before your hair is dry after washing can easily cause insomnia. This is because wet hair will cause water to stagnate in the head, which will cause blood stasis over time and block the meridians.

If the temperature drops significantly at night, it will easily cause moisture to enter the head, causing the invasion of cold evil, affecting the function of the brain, and then affecting normal sleep and causing insomnia.

5. Cause dizziness

There is another thing you need to pay attention to when washing your hair at night, that is, it will cause dizziness, especially if you do not wipe your hair clean before going to bed. Going to bed with wet hair will cause dampness and cold evils to invade the body, causing headaches is the most common situation.

How to wash your hair correctly

Don't comb your hair when it's wet

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.

Don't scratch your scalp with your nails

Do not scratch your scalp with your nails when 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.

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 on your scalp, it is easy to cause chemical residues and the cleaning effect is not ideal (not conducive to foaming).

Water temperature 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.

It is better to wash your hair less often

If your hair is not greasy, don't wash it every day, because washing your hair will cause the hair scales to open, and the hair scales will inevitably be damaged in the process of opening and closing, so washing your hair every day is not conducive to better hair quality. However, some people have very oily hair, so they can wash their hair once a day, because keeping it clean is much more important than damaging the hair scales.

Keep your head slightly lower when washing your hair

When washing your hair in the shower, many people stand upright. In this case, the impact of the water flow may cause more hair loss on the top of the head than other places. So a better way is to lower your head to the level of your heart. This can reduce the impact on the hair and promote blood circulation in the head.
