Do you think just hair colouring, chemical-laced hair treatments or use of heat on hair are the only things that can damage your hair? Your hair could even get damaged while you sleep at night! Surprised? Well, just as you pamper your skin before going to bed, you should have a night hair care routine too! How you treat your hair while you sleep might have an impact on its appearance and health. So, know about the dos and don’ts that you should take care of for your hair’s sake before sleeping.
3 night hair care routine tips
Dermatologist Dr Ramya Garlapati shared these hair care tips that are a must to follow before going to bed, via Instagram.
1. Don’t sleep with wet hair
This can cause hair damage as wet hair is fragile and more prone to breakage. When our hair is wet, our hair follicles are most vulnerable. When you sleep with wet hair, the water and natural oils are absorbed into the pillow, leaving your hair dry, lifeless, and lacking in hydration. Due to this, your hair becomes brittle and may fall out or have a dry, unruly texture.
There’s also a higher chance of fungal infections as the moist warm environment created between wet hair and a damp pillow can be a breeding ground for yeast, which is further associated with dandruff. You are more likely to get a scalp fungus infection as a result. Thus, it is best to sleep with dry hair.â£

This won’t harm your hair at night and keep them voluminous and strong. Read More...
