We've all heard the sayings.
00:01
Don't go to bed with your hair wet or no.
00:05
Pelo muja and feral facts.
00:08
No. Yeah. Even my short hair,
00:09
my mom always told me that too.
00:11
Yeah. Dermatologist explains some of the dangers of doing this and
00:14
we're here to tell you what can really go down when you
00:16
jump into bed with your hair wet.
00:19
So first up increased risk of hair breakage due to fragile wet
00:24
hair fibers. Apparently your hair is more fragile when it's wet
00:27
versus when it's dry.
00:28
Mm Number two, potential disruption of the scalp microbiome due to
00:34
increased sweat, sea bump product build up and yeast.
00:38
I feel like I didn't pronounce that right.
00:39
I don't even know.

You know what brother that,
00:41
that makes me really scared because I always got my hair away
00:45

00:47
you don't dry with the little or wait a little bit right

01:04
to potential health issues.
01:06
Well, there you go.
01:07
So don't do that.
01:09
No, this ruined my day changes every,
01:12
it's because me limp before I go to sleep.
01:15
I don't want my,
01:16
my head to be a breathing ground for yeast and mold.
01:21
You know, like when you wake up in the morning,
01:23
sometimes you see the graph of the little les has to be
01:25
your pillow sister. No brother,
01:27
dude. I probably have a bunch of yos right now too
01:32
Oh OK. Lesson learned.
