How to go to bed with a wet head so as not to damage your hair: the only sure way

Many people prefer to wash their hair before bed to save time on morning preparations. And yet, let’s be honest: from time to time each of us goes to bed with a wet head. Just because you really want to sleep or there’s no hair dryer handy. Well, or if morning hair doesn’t look as bad as it could.

Hairstylists consider sleeping with a wet head to be one of the main causes of strand damage. In addition, in the morning such hair is difficult to comb – it is very fluffy and sticks out in different directions. But nevertheless, sometimes it is still possible to sleep with undried hair without unpleasant consequences: if you approach the problem with special care and responsibility.

Experts disagree on whether to comb wet hair or whether it’s better to wait for it to dry. However, if you plan to go to bed now, it is better to comb the curls – otherwise, in the morning, a nest of tangled strands will form on your head.

Or any other means of complementary care. This will help close hair cuticles faster and prevent damage.

But not usual terry, but microfiber. This type of fabric absorbs moisture much faster and the hair dries faster. In addition, microfiber is softer and does not hurt the strands.

During the night, the towel can come loose from the hair, and the rubbing of damp strands on the pillow cannot be avoided. A silk pillowcase will help reduce the risk of strand injury – we’ve talked about its benefits in more detail here.
