"The Dangers of Sleeping with Wet Hair"

Sleeping with wet hair can lead to hair and scalp damage, as well as create a breeding ground for fungus and bacteria due to the slow drying process, potentially causing yellow discoloration, itchiness, buildup, and flakiness. Fungi thrive in dark, moist environments, and a pillow can harbor up to 16 types of fungal species. Additionally, wet hair can lead to breakage and tangled strands, especially for those with curly hair, as the prolonged stretching of the hair cuticle can cause brittleness and dryness.
