Reasons why you shouldn’t go to sleep with wet hair. N0.4 is the most serious

We all have heard from our elders that we should not sleep with wet hair to avoid catching a cold. It turns out that sleeping with wet hair is bad for your health, but it can increase the risk of developing a fungal infection on the scalp as well as damage your hair.

Read on to find out why you should avoid sleeping with wet hair.

1. It could cause severe hair breakage
Hair is at its weakest when wet, so it’s not surprising to hear that you’ll be increasing the amount of breakage by leaving your hair wet whilst you sleep. As you toss and turn, friction will cause the hair to snap more easily than if your hair was dry.

You might think leaving your hair to air dry is better than applying heat, but is it really?
2. ​It can make you sick
If you are sleeping with the air conditioner on or it’s winter, there are high chances that sleeping with wet hair will make you feel colder and ultimately sick.

3. ​You will spend more time styling your hair
When you sleep with wet hair, you have no idea in what shape your hair will be when you wake up the next morning. This requires more time to style your hair the next day.
