For all of you wetheads out there, this article’s for you!
You may have wondered at some point in your life whether it is bad to sleep with wet hair. The quick and dirty of it: it won’t kill you, make you go blind, or cause 7 years of bad luck. Most people, women in particular, who go to sleep with wet hair do so for the sake of convenience. It’s easier to jump out of the shower and right into bed. Blow drying hair is not only damaging to your hair, but also takes quite a bit of time and effort. Why go through all of that when you can skip it alltogether and take that wet hair straight to bed?
Though sleeping with wet hair may be incredibly convenient and easy, there can be some pitfalls. For one, sleeping on with wet hair means sleeping on a wet pillow. Not so nice, especially if you share the bed with another person. Try rolling over in the middle of the night to find a cold wet spot from your partner’s wet hair. Ick! Another negative to sleeping with wet hair is that you are prone to causing damage to your hair as it is more susceptible to the elements – your tossing and turning throughout the night could reek havoc on your wet, tender tresses. You may also wake up in the morning to find a head full of knots, flat helmet head or the classic cowl lick. Is sleeping with wet hair worth a bad hair day?
Making the choice to sleep with wet hair is something you must decide for yourself, and is not necessarily a bad thing… just be sure the pitfalls don’t outweigh the convenience, especially if it interferes with your sleep.
