Will something bad happen if I sleep with wet hair?!


Question: Will something bad happen if I sleep with wet hair.?
My parents keep telling me not to sleep with wet hair because I'll get fungus on my head or get rheumatism or something. I sleep with wet hair because my hair smells good when I wake up. (And I sleep with curlers in my wet hair. So that in the morning my hair is curly.) I drool when I sleep so when I don't sleep with my hair wet it smells like saliva. Which is really gross. Is there anything wrong with sleeping with wet hair.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
I've slept with wet hair hundreds of times. The worst things that have ever happened is my hair wasn't yet dry by morning, or my pillow got damp. (I use a hand towel over it now.)

I think your parents are buying into old wives' tales with their fears of fungus, rheumatism, etc. Try to allay their fears while respecting their authority--not always easy, I know.

Remind them that millions of female baby boomers put their wet hair into curlers and went to bed every night for years and years and lived to tell the tale.Health Question & Answer

No theres nothing wrong with sleeping with wet hair. I used to do it all the time when i was a kid and i never got any type of fungus or rheumatism. There probably just saying that so you wont get sick but that is a myth also. Go ahead and sleep with wet hair you arent going to get sick,Health Question & Answer

I have always gone to bed with a wet head and have never had any problems. You will have to change pillow case more often, but that is about it. If it is working for you, then do not worry what other people have to say about what you are doing with your hair.

No. Put a towel over your pillow to keep your pillow from getting moldy, though. I followed all those wives tales my whole life and I still got sick all the time. Just use common sense and you'll be fine. Your body will tell you if it is uncomfortable or wrong for you.Health Question & Answer

Nope, I do it every night. I take a shower before bed because the thought of getting into bed dirty grosses me out:) And I don't even own a blow dryer:)Health Question & Answer
