Asian parents often tell their child/children not to sleep with their hair wet. Any scientific reason for this?!
Question: Asian parents often tell their child/children not to sleep with their hair wet. Any scientific reason for this.?
Occasionally, I find myself procrastinating and waiting for the last moment to do my work. During these days, I would take a shower at night time immediately before morning to keep myself awake. Or perhaps I would finish late and take a shower later before going to bed. Most of these times, I would sleep with my hair wet and my mom would complain that it isn't good. Other Asian parents have come up with the same thing.
What is the scientific reason for why we shouldn't sleep with our hair wet. If this is based on cultural beliefs, how did they come up with this.?Health Question & Answer

Answers:
Sleeping with wet hair is a very bad idea, because you wake up with dry hair bent in all the wrong directions, and it can be very hard to comb properly. If you are an Asian child, you just don't have the time to comb bad hair properly, because you have to hurry up and get to school, and compete with the rest of the world. This is backed by volumes of scientific studies. Health Question & Answer

I think everyone agrees that you're not supposed to sleep or go out w/ your hair wet. My doctor told me to quit it because the cold causes my neck to cramp up, making for a miserable working situation in front of the computer.Health Question & Answer
Don't worry. I'm not asian, I'm argentinian/italian and my parents tell me the same. There is no other way I can put this in simpler terms but it's because:
They dont want you to get sick [a cold].

Scientific reasons are : 1) Loss of hair since hair has a tendency to fall off easily when it's wet and thus if u sleep with a wet head ur liable to roll ur head which initself will cause hairloss.
2) If u keep ur hair wet fine but the wetness seeps into ur head and that constant wetness on ur head, diseases like cold and fever and headache get more potential encouragement to crawl onto you.
It's not that all of us suffer but then many people have low resistance and low immunity so if at all ur strong from withing a wet head will not truly harm you but infact let you sleep peacefully. I know that coz I love sleeping with wet hair but i don't keep my hair wet totally I just keep it partially wet :D
lol I also end up with cold at times not every time i sleep with wet hair ;-) ah bludy hairloss thats irritating arghhhhhhh.Health Question & Answer
