The dermatologist explained why you should not go to bed with wet hair

The dermatologist called the bad habit of going to bed with wet hair.

The dermatologist explained the danger of sleeping with wet hair. According to the specialist, you should not often go to bed with wet hair, as the fabric retains moisture on the scalp, preventing it from fully evaporating and drying. You can even wake up the next morning with slightly damp hair.

The dermatologist warned that such a long-term effect of moisture on the scalp can lead to its irritation, affect the appearance of an unpleasant odor.

"A moist environment is favorable for microbes, including bacteria and yeast." Not only can you wake up itchy, but you can also smell rotten.”

In addition, excessive moisture can disturb the natural balance of the scalp and trigger the appearance of dandruff. If the pillowcases are not changed very often, then a lot of fat, bacteria, fungi settle on them from the head, and in combination with wet hair, all this can lead to peeling and serious problems with the scalp.

In addition, wet hair is more sensitive to injuries, reacting to it with fragility. Rubbing against the pillow while sleeping makes them more prone to tip damage.
