❌ Myth 4: Only long hair is affected
Fact:
Nope — this applies to all hair lengths and types. Whether you have short curls or long, straight strands, the risks are similar. Scalp health is the main concern here, and it doesn’t discriminate based on your haircut.
❌ Myth 5: Tying up wet hair keeps it under control
Fact:
- It might look like a neat solution, but tying up wet hair can actually make things worse. Wet hair swells and is more elastic, so when it’s pulled tight, it’s more likely to snap and cause breakage.
- Plus, tight hairstyles while sleeping can cause tension on the roots, leading to long-term hair thinning.
✅ So what should you do?
If you must wash your hair at night:
- Use a microfiber towel to absorb excess water.
- Dry it at least 80% before going to bed.
- Consider using a silk pillowcase to reduce friction.
- Sleep with hair down or in a loose braid — never tight.
💬 Final Thoughts:
Sleeping with wet hair won’t give you lice, but it can damage your hair and scalp over time. Understanding the facts helps you build healthier habits — and your hair will thank you for it.
