Why is it bad to sleep with wet hair?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
I don't think it is: Obviously your pillow gets wet and if your room is cold your head will feel colder, but from a specific health perspective i can't think of any other reason.

Wet hair: Over time, sleeping with wet hair can cause breakage of hair & if you are in a cold environment it may cause you to feel colder.
