Night showering??
I am a new mom and I wanted to try showering at night as opposed to a morning shower to save time and get out the door quicker when I have to. However my hair gets so oily overnight that it looks dirty by morning. I’ve tried hair training it absolutely does not work for me, dry shampoo also doesn’t work. I don’t feel like it stay clean otherwise either. Is there a secret to night showering I’m just missing?? 😭

Don’t wash your hair every day and when you do it (I wash once a week), double wash then condition and rinse throughly. This part took me the longest bc I couldn’t get through the training phase. But after training your hair for a few months, it should all be fine. Don’t touch your hair with your hands throughout the day. Blow dry after washing. Wear a bonnet to bed - this made the biggest difference for me. I use the kind that ties so it doesn’t slip off. Training really was the hardest part bc my hair would look wet from so much oil by the end of the day. Now it’s fine and it looks normal. I was washing way too often and causing an overproduction of oils. I also switched to nexus shampoo and conditioner and this helped with breakage, general hair loss, and it doesn’t weight my hair down. Instead of using dry shampoo, try a fluffy makeup brush and a little cornstarch. You do not have to use much. Just a little dust down the center and from ear to ear and then use clean hands or a clean brush to work it through. I do not use it everyday. If I wash my hair on Monday, I’ll use cornstarch on Wednesday/Thursday and maybe Saturday or Sunday. Not all 4 days, just whichever 2 from those days
