How to care for your hair in the evening? Effective step-by-step care
Evening hair care is a ritual that can determine the condition of your hairstyle. At night, your hair and scalp are not exposed to UV radiation, wind, or smog, making it the perfect time to regenerate. It's worth knowing that hair grows on average about 1-1.5 cm per month (research by the American Academy of Dermatology), and its life cycle is strongly linked to the health of your scalp. Regular evening routines can significantly accelerate hair growth, reduce breakage, and improve shine. Evening hair care is an often-overlooked part of the routine, as it's when the hair and scalp have the best conditions to regenerate. At night, the body enters a resting phase, and cellular repair processes intensify – this includes hair follicles. Dermatological studies show that the rate of scalp cell regeneration at night is up to 30% higher than during the day (Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2020). This means that active ingredients in cosmetics applied in the evening are more likely to be more effective . Evening is also the time when: hair is not exposed to UV radiation, wind or pollution, the scalp rests from mechanical factors such as styling or brushing, you can provide them with 6–8 hours of uninterrupted contact with nutrients – that's the average sleep time of an adult. It's also worth remembering that hair grows on average 1-1.5 cm per month (American Academy of Dermatology). For this growth to be healthy and stable, hair follicles must be properly nourished, which is ensured by regular evening rituals, such as using trichological lotions or light moisturizing products like Indian Jasmine Orientana hair mist. Moreover, application studies indicate that systematic use of cosmetics at night can: improve hair elasticity, reduce the breakage of strands, and also reduce hair loss. Cleansing the scalp and hair Cleansing your hair and scalp in the evening is the foundation of healthy hair care. Throughout the day, impurities accumulate on your hair: dust, dirt, styling residue, and sebum. If left untreated, they can block hair follicles, cause itching, and even exacerbate hair loss. Studies show that accumulated environmental pollutants can increase oxidative stress in the scalp by up to 40% (International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2019). How to properly cleanse your hair in the evening? Washing your hair every 2–3 days is enough for most people to maintain a healthy scalp balance. Those with excessive oiliness may need to wash daily, but with gentle formulas. Gentle shampoos – it's worth choosing products without harsh SLS/SLES detergents , which can excessively dry out the skin. A better choice are mild surfactants, such as glucosides or coconut betaine. You can find them here: Orientana Natural Shampoos. Don't go to bed with wet hair —it's one of the worst things you can do to your hairstyle. Wet hair has about 40% less mechanical strength and is more prone to breakage. Furthermore, moisture creates an ideal environment for the growth of microorganisms that can disrupt the scalp's microbiome. In short, evening hair care is an investment in healthier, stronger, and shinier hair. It's a time when even a little effort (like applying a conditioner or mist) yields noticeable results. My practical tips: If you don't want to use a hairdryer, wrap your hair in a microfiber towel - it absorbs water faster than classic cotton. Dry your hair with a cool airflow – hot air can damage the hair cuticle and dry out the scalp. Moisturizing and nourishing the length of hair After cleansing, hair requires replenishing moisture and protecting against moisture loss. Hair fibers are composed of over 90% protein (primarily keratin) , but it's the water content—which accounts for approximately 10-15% of hair's weight —that determines its elasticity and flexibility. Research shows that even a 5% loss of moisture makes hair more brittle and susceptible to mechanical damage (Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2018). Why is evening the best time to moisturize? During the night, the hair is not exposed to external factors (UV, wind, smog). On average, 6–8 hours of sleep is the time during which active ingredients have the opportunity to penetrate the hair structure and work in a calm environment. Application studies show that regular use of moisturizers in the evening can improve hair shine and reduce frizz (International Journal of Trichology, 2020). For sleep, choose Indian Jasmine Mist or Trycho Lychee Hair Serum. Both products moisturize hair very well and smell wonderful, although Indian jasmine has a stronger scent. The scent of the Indian jasmine mist affects our well-being. We've tested this, and the mist, by enveloping us in its fragrance, helps reduce stress and tension and has a relaxing and soothing effect. TrychoLitchi serum for the whole hair not only moisturizes it but also strengthens it, reduces brittleness and hair loss associated with hair damage. How to use in the evening? Comb your hair to distribute the product evenly. Shake the bottle. Spray along the length of your hair, avoiding the roots to avoid weighing it down. For better results, protect the ends with additional natural oil (e.g. a few drops of hair oil). You can leave your hair loose or tie it into a loose braid , which will also prevent it from tangling while you sleep. Thanks to such simple evening steps, hair becomes more resistant to damage, and its structure gains elasticity and a healthy shine. Night lotions – support for the scalp The scalp is the living environment for hair follicles – its condition determines the rate of hair growth, density, and health. Evening is the best time to use trichological scalp treatments: during sleep, scalp microcirculation stabilizes, and the lack of sun exposure or pollution promotes better absorption of active ingredients. Clinical studies show that systematic use of a scalp conditioner once or twice daily can reduce hair loss by 30% within just 3 months (International Journal of Trichology, 2021). Additionally, a 4-minute scalp massage while applying the conditioner increases blood flow to hair follicles by up to 70% (Archives of Dermatology, 2016). Ayurvedic Amla hair tonic (100 ml) Description and formula: This light, non-overburdening lotion (almost 100% natural ingredients) combines Ayurvedic traditions with modern care. Its formula is based on amla (Indian gooseberry) extract, making it ideal for combating hair loss and strengthening hair follicles.

Trichological hair lotion Lychee + Arginine + Baicapil™ Description and formula: A formula based on the Baicapil™ complex and amino acids, designed for people who expect real results. Action: Increases hair density, increases the rate of hair growth, reduces hair loss Key active ingredients: Baicapil™, arginine, lychee extract, quinine - stimulate hair follicles to grow, support microcirculation and the condition of hair bulbs Sodium lactate, aloe, panthenol - moisturize, soothe the scalp and strengthen the hydrolipid barrier For whom?

How to incorporate them into your evening skincare routine? 6 rules Use after washing your hair (or cleansing your scalp) in the evening. Ayurvedic Amla Tonic: perfect for the daily need for freshness and growth stimulation. Trichological lotion TrychoLiczi + Baicapil™: a great choice when focusing on growth and density. A gentle scalp massage (2–3 minutes) promotes absorption and relaxation. Do not rinse – leave the product to work while you rest overnight. Regularity is key: at least 3 months – this is the time during which hair follicles can undergo a full growth cycle. Evening rituals to improve the condition of your hair Evening is the best time for care rituals that support the health of your hair and scalp. It's during sleep that your hair has a few hours to rest and absorb active ingredients. It's worth incorporating a few simple steps into your routine: Combing before bed Gently brushing your hair with a natural bristle brush or a wide-toothed comb allows you to: prevent hair from tangling at night, distribute natural sebum from the roots to the lengths, which strengthens the protective barrier. Research shows that regular brushing can reduce tip breakage by up to 20% (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019). Loose updos Tying your hair up in a tight ponytail or bun at night weakens the hair follicles and promotes mechanical damage. It's better to choose: loose braid – reduces tangling, a soft hairband or velvet band that does not break the hair, low ponytail – gives slightly wavy strands in the morning. Satin or silk pillowcase While you sleep, your hair rubs against your pillowcase thousands of times a night. Cotton can cause frizz and moisture loss. Silk or satin: reduce friction, reduce breakage of ends, reduce moisture loss by 43% (Cosmetic & Toiletries, 2020). Relaxation and scalp massage Stress at night contributes to hair loss (cortisol affects hair follicles). It's worth spending 2–3 minutes massaging your scalp—ideally while applying the lotion. Studies show that such massage increases hair density by an average of 10% after 24 weeks (Archives of Dermatology, 2016). Evening hair care products Indian Jasmine Orientana Hair Mist – lightly moisturizes and smoothes hair, adds shine, reduces frizz. Orientana trichological lotions – work intensively during sleep, supporting hair growth and reducing hair loss. Orientana Trycho Lychee Conditioner-Mask – applied only to the length of the hair, provides deep hydration and regeneration. The most common mistakes in evening hair care Some habits sabotage the results of daily care. It's worth eliminating them: 1. Sleeping with wet hair Wet hair is much more susceptible to mechanical damage – its strength decreases by up to 40% . Sleeping in wet hair can lead to breakage, brittleness, and increased hair loss. 2. Too tight updos Elastic bands with metal elements, tight buns, or ponytails cause micro-damage and so-called traction alopecia – hair loss caused by tension in the follicles. 3. No tip protection The ends are most susceptible to damage and dryness. Without protection (e.g., with oil or mist), they can become brittle and lose their shine more quickly. 4. Bad pillowcase Cotton pillowcases, while popular, tend to increase frizz and absorb moisture. Swapping them for satin or silk is a simple change that delivers long-lasting results. 5. Ignoring evening skincare routine Many people focus solely on morning styling, skipping the nighttime ritual. However, nighttime is a key time for regeneration – hair has 6–8 hours to absorb active ingredients and rest. Frequently asked questions about hair in the evening and at night Can you sleep with wet hair? No. Wet hair has up to 40% less mechanical strength than dry hair, making it easily brittle and fragile. Furthermore, moisture promotes the growth of microorganisms, which can lead to scalp irritation. What is the best way to tie your hair up at night? Loose hairstyles are best for your hair: a low braid, a soft bun, or a low ponytail tied with a hair tie. This reduces tangling and protects against breakage. Is it worth using lotions in the evening? Yes. Nighttime is the best time – the scalp rests, and the active ingredients have time to penetrate and work for several hours. Orientana hair lotions (Amla and Tricho Lychee + Arginine + Baicapil™) support hair growth and reduce hair loss, especially when applied with a scalp massage. Is sleeping with your hair loose harmful? Yes, your hair may be more prone to tangling and breakage. It's better to tie it back in a loose braid or use a satin pillowcase to reduce friction. Will an overnight hair mist weigh down the strands? No, as long as it's lightweight and based on natural ingredients. Orientana Indian Jasmine Hair Mist moisturizes and smooths without weighing down the hair or roots. How to protect hair ends at night? It's worth protecting them with a bit of natural oil or a moisturizing mist. This reduces the risk of brittle ends, which are most susceptible to damage. Does a silk pillowcase really work? Yes. Research (Cosmetic & Toiletries, 2020) shows that hair sleeping on silk loses 43% less moisture and is less susceptible to frizz and breakage compared to hair sleeping on cotton. How often should you use overnight hair masks? Typically once or twice a week. Products like the Orientana Trycho Lychee Conditioner-Mask (applied only to the lengths) can work intensively while you sleep, providing strands with moisture and regeneration. Is it worth oiling your hair at night? Yes, as long as you do it correctly – ideally once a week, applying a small amount of oil to the scalp. Wash your hair thoroughly in the morning to avoid weighing it down. Does sleeping in a hat or turban at night make sense? Yes, especially if the turban is made of silk or satin. This protects the hair from rubbing against the pillow and helps keep the hairstyle in place. Does hair grow faster at night? Not directly, but at night, regenerative processes in the skin intensify, which supports hair follicles. Therefore, evening rituals may indirectly promote faster hair growth. Does hair get more oily at night? For many people, yes, sebaceous gland activity increases in the evening. Therefore, sebum-regulating lotions or light mists can help maintain balance. Does a pillow affect hair loss? Yes, an unsuitable pillowcase (rough cotton, polyester) increases friction and micro-tears. In the long run, this can weaken hair follicles and increase hair loss. Does your evening diet affect the condition of your hair in the morning? Yes – a meal rich in protein and sulfur amino acids (e.g. lentils, chickpeas, eggs) supports the overnight regeneration of hair and scalp. Does sleeping in a humid room damage your hair? Maybe – high humidity increases hair's susceptibility to frizz and porosity. It's worth using end protectors and satin pillowcases.
