what happens when we sleep with wet hair

During the shower, women usually wash with shampoo at least twice and even moisturize with some fast-acting cream, then they have to untangle the strands and just let it go, if the hair is curly they can add a few more steps to the process, such as the finalization. With the rush of everyday life, if there is no time for all this “step by step”, most women do the basics, wash with shampoo and conditioner at the end of the day, but what about after? What happens if we sleep with wet hair?

The specialist, Rodrigo Cintra, says that it is not recommended to sleep with wet hair since the stuffiness of the scalp allows the proliferation of bacteria and the appearance of diseases, such as seborrhea (dandruff) and friction during sleep is quite harmful to the wires in general, but when wet they become more fragile and can break apart from having excess frizz in the morning.

To minimize this damage, Cintra recommends drying the wires with a hairdryer, even in cold air, and using silk pillowcases to reduce friction, “but I emphasize again, this is not the best choice”claims, the hairdresser.

Another option is to invest in a dry shampoo, it is a good alternative and serves to revitalize the appearance of the strands and absorb oiliness, leaves the hair with more movement and volume as if it had been washed, however it is important to emphasize that even if it seems, the strands were not actually sanitized, dry shampoo just gives you more time until you have space in your schedule to wash your hair properly. The effect can last up to two days and it is not recommended to use the product daily.

Rodrigo says that the ideal would be to wash your hair at least three times a week and that washing every day is not harmful, it is important to check if you are using the right products for your hair type and provide the nutrients it needs and lastly , avoid passing your hand through your hair all the time, because this can worsen the oiliness of the strands.
