The night, when you wrap up the day, is also an important time for your scalp. Sleep and scalp health are not separate issues; rather, they are connected by habits made during the few minutes before bed and the regularity of your sleep schedule. We have compiled the '3 Scalp Habits Before Bedtime' emphasized in scalp consultations by Jang Yoon-hee, Director of the K-Beauty scalp care brand Lydia 153 (and President of the Korea Beauty Association).

Why should sleep and scalp health be considered together?

Our bodies take time to recover during sleep according to our biological rhythms. The scalp is no exception, and the state in which you go to bed can affect its condition overnight. Director Jang Yoon-hee advises that instead of thinking of scalp care solely as a "morning task," you should incorporate it into your nighttime routine for winding down the day.

Director Jang Yoon-hee's 3 Scalp Habits Before Bedtime

1. Cleanse up the day's sebum before going to sleep. It is frequently mentioned that sebum on the scalp can oxidize upon contact with air over time, and that if oxidized sebum (such as squalene peroxide) remains for a long time, it can put a strain on the scalp's condition. Therefore, it can be helpful to develop the habit of shampooing in the evening rather than the morning, washing gently with lukewarm water using your fingertips, and rinsing thoroughly.

2. Do not lie down with wet hair. The more tired you are at night, the easier it is to fall asleep with your hair still damp. However, moisture remaining at the scalp roots can create an environment favorable for the Malassezia fungi naturally present on the scalp. After gently patting your hair dry with a towel, please use a hairdryer on lukewarm air to completely dry the scalp first, rather than the hair.

3. Keep to a consistent bedtime. If your bedtime varies every day due to a late schedule, your body's biological rhythm is easily disrupted. Establishing a regular sleep habit of going to bed at a similar time allows your body time to recover and can also help with scalp health management as part of your daily routine.

Scalp routine starting tonight

Shampooing in the evening, drying your scalp completely, and getting regular sleep. All three are habits you can practice starting tonight without any special tools. However, if symptoms such as itching, flaking, redness, or hair loss persist, I recommend consulting a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis rather than relying solely on your lifestyle habits.

Mrs. Lauren, together with Lydia 153, has established official YouTube, KakaoTalk, and Instagram channels from scratch, and plans content that easily conveys scalp health care within daily habits, such as 'Director Jang Yoon-hee's Scalp Consultation Center,' while also managing communication with followers.
