The expert called a “harmless” habit that can lead to dermatitis and hair loss

It turns out that hair can fall out due to a “harmless” habit – washing your hair before going to bed, and then going to bed with wet curls. According to experts, because of this, the hair is badly damaged, broken and may begin to fall out, writes the Express edition.

Health expert Max Stevens explained that when we go to bed with a wet head, the structure of the hair becomes worse: they become very tangled, begin to break, become weaker. In addition, in a dream we constantly toss and turn, and wet hair is vulnerable. The structure becomes worse from entanglement, the result is brittleness, and then loss, Stevens noted.

In addition, wet hair creates a greenhouse effect: the pillowcase and pillow get very wet, which creates excellent conditions for the growth of bacteria. This can provoke a fungus, as well as various skin diseases: dermatitis, psoriasis.

The specialist recommends replacing cotton pillowcases with silk ones. The latter dry faster, provide slip, thereby preventing hair tangles. It is also worth drying your hair completely before going to bed, while not forgetting to use heat-protective creams and sprays.
