DON'T!!!
Yes, I know it saves you time in the morning. Damp hair keeps you cool at night in case your body runs hot while sleeping. Well, at least I'm not drying out my hair with a hair dryer.
These are all reasonable time saving strategies.
Let me give you some reasons not to go to bed with damp/wet hair.
1. Hair when wet is structurally weaker, is elastic and can be stretched further than when dry.
Try it, Pull a dry hair between 2 fingers. It will lengthen a little or stay the same. If the hair does not lengthen at all and does not break, it is very healthy. After you shampoo and condition your hair ( as stated in previous blogs or on StyleLike A Pro DVDs ) pull on another hair, it will definitely lengthen and shrink back. That's called elasticity. Now if the hair does not shrink back automatically or at all, it means that hair is weakened. Weakened hair can be due to age of the hair, sun/wind exposure, dehydration from tools, products or chemicals.
2, When your damp hair is being rubbed between your head and the pillow, the hair is being stretched. The hairs' cuticle (outside layer) can not close. It is being attracted to the fabric, because the fabric is pulling moisture from the hair. When the elasticity of the hair remains stretched as the hair dries, there can be breakage and roughness to your hair. In the morning your hair will require more leave-in conditioners and will not respond as easily to styling. With roughened hair equals lack of S-H-I-N-E!
PLEASE DON'T GO TO BED WITH WET HAIR!
Have an awesome day!
