Sleeping with wet hair: why it is best avoided
After a night shower many people go straight to bed with wet hair. Here is what it does to hair and scalp, and easy alternatives.
Wet hair is weaker
Wet hair stretches more easily. Rubbing on a pillow all night can cause tangles and breakage.
A damp scalp
A scalp that stays damp for hours, especially with thick or tied hair, can feel itchy or smell the next day. Read scalp odour.
Easy alternatives
Wash earlier in the evening, or dry with a dryer on medium before bed.
A smooth pillowcase
A satin or silk pillowcase can reduce friction. Tie long hair loosely or in a soft plait.

Does sleeping with wet hair cause hair loss?
It is more linked to breakage and a damp scalp than to shedding from the root.
What about after treatment?
Follow the aftercare guidance, including waiting until the next day before your first shampoo.
