Title: Sleeping With Wet Hair
1Sleeping with wet Hair
- There are several myths about sleeping with wet
hair. We hear different reasons for that from our
grandmas or mothers who have heard from their
mothers. That taking a shower before bed could
get you sick. You can catch a cold or have a weak
immune system.
2Scientific theory about sleeping with wet hair
Professor of medicine at Vanderbilt Medical
Center, Dr. William Schaffner says. The concept
of getting ill while sleeping with wet hair seems
to fit into the old bit of folklore that getting
yourself chilled and wet will cause you to come
down with a cold,
3It'll make you feel cold
Whether its winter or summer, sleeping with wet
hair side effects causes cold. In winter the cold
just needs a reason to attack you and make you
sick. In summer the habit could lead to cold as
most of us live in hotter places and prefer to
sleep with AC on in the room. This not only
damages your hair but also puts your health at
risk.
4Sleeping with wet hair side effects of the weak
immune system
The folklore might be right as the microorganism
found on your pillow or bedsheet, feels more
alive when dampen. And you can come down with an
infection or feel sick or cold. This act of
carelessness could lead to you getting a bug or
influenza.
5Increase bacteria growth
One thing for sure we know that the combination
of water and warmth leads to the growth of
bacteria. The same as these small bugs could
attack you as there are chances of your getting
an infection or worse. Your soaked pillow could
provide a destructive battleground for these
microorganisms to attack you. Changing your
bedsheet often might help, as well as washing
them in hot or warm water.
6Cause hair breakage
Hair is at its weakest when wet, so its not a
piece of news that sleeping with wet hair could
break the hair follicles. A wet hair may break or
develop split ends easily as compared to dry
hair. The friction of wet hair on the damp pillow
could damage your hair.
7You'll spend more time styling your hair
Sleeping with wet hair side effects includes more
styling than usual. As you might have heard about
the term bed head. As your hair dries, it sets
into the spot. When you rest, your hair turns
into a wide range of odd styles, and if its
drying while you rest, itll set that way as well.
8Can cause hair loss
Yes, you heard it right, the habit of sleeping
with wet hair can cause hair loss. You might
suffer from pattern baldness or scalp ringworm.
The dampness or sleeping over soaked pillow might
result in scalp ringworm.
9Causes dandruff
The water in your hair might attract and may
multiply the growth of the microorganisms on your
pillow resulting in dandruff. Laying down with
wet hair strips off the oil in your hair. The
combination of microbes development and the loss
of common oils in your hair will make your scalp
bound to create dandruff.
10Makes your hair dull
At the point when the pillow consumes the water
from your hair into its the surface and the oil
from your hair as well. This process may dry your
hair, take the shine away and make them look
dull.
11It causes acne
As our research earlier mentioned that sticking
of damp hair on your skin and the soaking water
on your pillow will add up to cause you facial
acne.
12How to avoid sleeping with wet hair and taking
proper care of your hair
- Towel-dry your hair when you complete the
process of showering - Allow your hair to dry legitimately by letting
them breath through the air and abstain from
wrapping it firmly or putting it up in a bun
before you rest - Use a diffuser on the hair dryer or cotton
cloth to dry your hair or to dispose of any
excess water - Avoid leaving your hair covered in a towel
while you rest, as that might generate the growth
of microorganisms.
