Such sleep can cause hypothermia of the hair follicles, warns a trichologist.

Sleeping with wet hair is dangerous, and the specialist explained why. The trichologist reported:

“After washing, the strands become cold, and in this regard, the risk of hypothermia of the hair follicles increases.”

According to the specialist, the consequences of the habit of going to bed with wet hair can be problems with the scalp, itching, redness, pain, even abscesses. In addition, moisture absorbed into the pillow will contribute to the appearance of dust mites. People who sleep on pillows infested with mites may experience allergic reactions, skin lesions, and respiratory problems.

It is also dangerous to sleep with wet hair because of the risk of hair loss. The doctor explained that in a person who constantly turns over in his sleep and rubs his head against the pillow, wet strands become tangled and prone to breakage, damage to the upper protective layer. As a result, they lose their shine, begin to split, and fall out.
