Night showers suck ass.  You're hot from the shower when you try to go to bed, you have wet hair and a then a wet pillow, and when you wake up in the morning, you still are fairly dirty since you may have sweat during the night...and your hair is all fucked up.

Morning showers wake you up, open up your eyes, and allow you a few minutes to think about the day ahead of you.

Yeah, but even that can only do so much.  Let's put it this way.  I wake up every morning with a mohawk and go to work with a side-part.  Hair gel can't combat with a night of sleeping on the hair without some shampoo (and conditioner) to reset it.  My hair, anyway.

For all those saying that night showers will cause you to be dirty in the morning, at least your bed sheets will be cleaner from not having an entire day's worth of dirt and grime on it.

Right.  Wash your sheets slightly more often or be dirty all day, everyday.  Hmm...

Assuming you put gel in your hair and you don't shower before you go to bed, you roll around on a pillow, smear gel from your hair onto your pillow and then have that smear all over your face for 8 hours.  Sounds like a recipe for complexion issues to me.

Both for me. I not really awake until I've had my shower in the AM. And it takes care of my bed hair.
And I think with my job it's kind of clear why I'd take one when I get home too.

I simply would not leave the house in the morning if I hadn't showered. In the warmer weather I'd probably have one when I got home from work, too, between changing out of sweaty work clothes and into more comfortable home attire.

About a 20 minute shower in the morning.

About 45 minutes in a tub of hot water before I go to bed.  I do a lot of reading in the tub.

I use a very light paste and my face never touches the pillow.

I can't stand to have anything like a gel, wax, spray, oil, grease, etc in my hair.   That kind of stuff is for the fairer sex.

Or men whose hair is straight, not buzzcut, and not very long.

I shower mainly at night, because in the morning the demand is so high the hot water is unreliable. Also wifey likes to shower at night in the winter so she can let her hair dry overnight instead of freezing the next day

When it gets warm I shower twice a day, usually. It's just too fucking hot

That would be me.  I didn't use to use product often, but now I do every day.  Trying to work on personal grooming lately.

On school days I shower when I wake up, before work, and after work.

3 times a day.

After any major exercise, and always before work.  Since most work shifts start in the morning, usually morning is therefore when I shower.

My primary shower is usually in the morning, and then I'll sometimes shower in the afternoon/evening too depending on need (workout, dirty job, going out). Sometimes when I'm traveling and have to wake up really early, I'll shower in the evening and skip the morning shower.

Right now I have a pretty lax schedule with a ton of work to do on my own time, so often I'll stay at home to work in the morning and hold off on the shower till later in the day. That's not a preference though, it's just due to my circumstances.

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

Morning for sure.  It's a great way to wake up but still feel warm and comfortable.  And my hair is too unmanageable to shower the night before and then sleep on it.  And I look ridiculous in hats, so that's a no-go.

I was always a night shower guy. Then I realized I might as well as shower in the morning since it took a while to wash my hair in the morning when I started letting my hair get longer. Now that's stuck with me.

But I shower after working out though.

I like to shower in the morning because it makes my beautiful hair feel better.

Based on the way you looked, I didn't think you showered at all..... :evildude:
