Shower - Use

Use

Shower usage in the latter half of the 20th century has skyrocketed. Personal hygiene became a primary concern, and bathing every day or multiple times a day is common among Western cultures. Showering is generally faster than bathing and can use less water. This quick and efficient concept explains its popularity as it fits in with the fast-paced lifestyles of modern people. In addition, showering, as opposed to taking a bath, is recommended for older people because it reduces the risk of injury related to falling.

Taking a shower in the morning, instead of taking a shower at night is sometimes used in referring to the working class showering when they come home from work, and white collar workers showering before work. An equal number of reasons can be offered for showering at night as for showering in the morning.

Contrary to myth, there are no adverse health affects from showering at night.

Sleeping with wet hair can lead to a bad hair day the next day, and in the winter showering in the morning can lead to wet hair being chilled, harming the hair, if it is not dried completely before going outside.

Some people take more than one shower each day - in the morning, after working out, and at night, or during hot weather.
