I bet your parents always told you you should never go to sleep with wet hair, right? There are all sorts of horror stories they used to scare you with, if they were anything like mine!<\/p>\n

But, is it bad to sleep with wet hair? Let\u2019s have a look into why you should or shouldn\u2019t do this, and debunk any childhood myths about it while we\u2019re at it.<\/p>\n

Is It Bad To Sleep With Wet Hair?<\/h2>\n

Sleeping with wet hair, as well as potentially being uncomfortable, is not the best thing you can do for your hair.<\/p>\n

The temperature fluctuations through the night can leave you feeling chilled, and can even leave you with a runny nose in the morning.<\/p>\n

Sleeping with wet hair can also, in some cases, cause headaches and migraines, if you are already susceptible to them.<\/p>\n

Also, a pillow is a great sponge, so if yours is soaking up water all the time it can lead to mould and mildew.<\/p>\n

Wet hair is at its most vulnerable, so it is prone to breakage and damage. Especially when you wriggle around on your pillow!<\/p>\n

If you have naturally frizzy hair<\/a>, sleeping on it wet can cause even more of an issue when you wake up in the morning!<\/p>\n

Sleeping on wet hair can also cause more issues with split ends, so if you struggle with this issue then maybe drying your hair before bed is a good idea.<\/p>\n

If your hair is already pretty strong and healthy, you shouldn\u2019t have too much of an issue with sleeping with wet hair, unless it\u2019s the coldness!<\/p>\n

Sleeping on wet hair once in a while, like most things that you do with your hair once in a while, won\u2019t do you any harm.<\/p>\n

If you make it a regular thing though, it ca cause long term issues that you probably don\u2019t want to deal with!<\/p>\n

Here is a detailed video telling you all about the reasons why you shouldn\u2019t sleep with wet hair:<\/p>\n
