If you’ve been on TikTok recently, you might have stumbled upon the ‘morning or night shower’ trend on your #FYP that set heated debates all over Singapore.
Couple this with the popularity of #showertoks, it has led to an explosion of opinions on every aspect of showering, and it got us wondering about the ideal water temperature or the best hair care routine. And does it matter if you wash your hair in the morning or at night? Does the timing affect your scalp health, hair texture, or even the strength of your hair? Read on as we uncover the truth that might surprise you.
Does the time of day you wash your hair impact scalp health and hair growth?
Are you a team ‘morning bath’ or team ‘night showers’?
First things first: Your hair doesn’t “know” what time it is. Whether you shampoo your hair in the morning or evening, the effectiveness of your hair care routine is determined by the hair products you use and how well you take care of your scalp.
The real culprit behind scalp issues like excess oil, dandruff, and an unpleasant odour is an imbalanced scalp. Factors such as poor hygiene, build-up of hair treatment products, and environmental pollutants can leave your scalp feeling unhealthy, regardless of when you shampoo or take a shower.
Hence, to keep your scalp healthy, fresh, and clean while effectively combating hair woes such as hair thinning, the key lies in adopting a balanced scalp care regimen and treating your tresses to a well-deserved pampering sesh. This is where treatments like TK TrichoKare’s Scalp Purifying Therapy come into play, offering a specialised 5-step approach to maintaining scalp health, addressing hair loss, and hair nourishment tailored to individual needs.
#TBLBureau Campaigns Executive Nicole tried the award-winning treatment to see how it could improve her hair and scalp’s health and help address its underlying conditions.
TK TrichoKare’s Scalp Purifying Therapy: What to expect and why it works
The Scalp Purifying Therapy offers customised hair and scalp solutions, which are done by experts in trichology, a.k.a the people who specialise in treating hair and scalp woes. It’s backed by science and modern technology and uses European herbal hair remedies – which guarantees comprehensive care for all types of hair with different hair and scalp issues.
The first step includes a thorough scalp scan analysis.
Step 1: Pre-Treatment Hair & Scalp Analysis. The session started with a thorough Hair and Scalp Analysis. The consultant used 200x magnified scalp scans to carefully assess the scalp's needs.
Nicole's Pre-Treatment Scalp Analysis revealed areas of inflammation and flakes of dead skin on her scalp.
The findings revealed that even though Nicole’s scalp is generally healthy, there were still patches of inflammation and redness in some areas as well as flakes of dead skin that needed to be removed. Ignoring these signs of a troubled scalp could lead to more severe hair and scalp problems, including hair loss. As such, Nicole was recommended to undergo a detoxifying and cleansing treatment to reduce inflammation.
Step 2. Customised European Herbal Scalp Masque. To help eliminate excess sebum and clogged pores on the scalp, the specialist applied the customised European Herbal Scalp Masque and gave Nicole a relaxing 8-Step Aromatherapy Head and Shoulder Massage. This lets her scalp absorb the nutrients from the masque while enjoying a moment of relaxation.

The step is then followed by washing Nicole’s hair with TrichoKare’s best-selling hair shampoo, the Nourishing Hair Bath. She shared, “The massage was comfortable, the pressure was on point — I tried to keep my eyes open but it was too relaxing!”
Step 3: Customised Treatment Essence applied via a NanoMist Spray. After the relaxing and refreshing session, the specialist then carefully sprayed the Customised Treatment Essence on Nicole’s scalp, which was packed with hair-strengthening ingredients and formulated to stimulate hair regrowth.

Step 4: Hair Bang. To kick off the next step, the specialist proceeded to bring in a device which uses infrared light technology to promote blood circulation, scalp exfoliation, and anti-inflammation, all while maintaining the scalp’s pH balance and overall health.

Step 5: Post-treatment Scalp Scan Analysis. Finally, to show the post-treatment results, the consultant re-scanned and analysed the same areas of Nicole's scalp to assess the differences in its condition before and after the treatment.

Review of the TK TrichoKare Scalp Purifying Therapy
To end the debate once and for all, the TrichoKare specialist shared, “There is no difference in washing your hair in the morning or at night. However, washing it daily to eliminate all the griminess of Singapore’s humid weather is recommended”. The consultant emphasised the importance of getting scalp and hair treatments like this, as this was already proven to be effective in maintaining one’s hair and scalp health.
While you can already witness encouraging, visible results after a single session with TrichoKare, maintaining beautiful, luscious hair and a healthy scalp requires consistency and diligence. Hence, it’s best to continue with follow-up treatments for lasting effects and find the best solutions that address your scalp condition.
To sum it up, Nicole shared that her experience of TrichoKare’s Scalp Purifying Therapy was worthwhile and the price was a good value for money — just like treating herself to a nice spa day. She was also amazed by how accommodating and attentive the specialist was during each step.
All in all, the whole treatment lived up to Nicole’s expectations, “The final results surprised me a lot. My hair was visibly softer as compared to earlier. The masque was also the most helpful for cleaning and getting rid of the dirt in my hair, and it also strengthened my hair at the same time”, she added.
After completing the trial session, you can take home a Free TK Trichokare Hair Care Kit which consists of one shampoo (Nourishing Hair Bath) and one conditioner (CompleteKare Mask).
