Medical Video: PROTECTIVE SLEEP HAIRSTYLES! Haircare tips for healthy & beautiful hair!
Realize it or not, the various activities that you do from morning to night turns out to risk damaging your hair, you know! Especially at night when you already feel very tired and want to just go to sleep, so often do not ignore the condition of the hair after a day from the outside. So, what are the habits at night that subconsciously make hair damaged?
A variety of habits before going to bed at night that damage the hair
Naturally, if you feel tired, tired, and want to bear immediately after busy activities all day. But don't make this an excuse for not cleaning your body, including your hair. Here are some habits at night that can trigger hair damage:
1. Sleep with still wet hair
Shampooing at night before going to sleep may or may not be often done because you don't want to wash it in the morning before leaving for office. In fact, wet hair strands are very weak and the range is damaged.
That is why, sleeping with hair still wet can damage the hair because it makes it fall out and branch off. Ted Gibson, a hairdresser and salon owner in New York, explained that the friction between the sheets and wet hair while you sleep overnight will make the hair cuticle (the outermost layer of hair) become rough.
As a result, the hair is easily dry because of losing its nutrients. The solution, if you wash it at night should make sure the hair is completely dry before going to bed.
2. Sleep with hairspray still attached to the hair
Whether because after attending parties, family gatherings, and other formal events that make you want to or not have to use hair spray, it can make hair look neater. However, this can make hair harder to clean.
On this basis, many women who then prefer to go straight to bed and just clean their hair the next day. Actually, cleaning the remaining hair spray with shampooing and bringing it to sleep at night, or not cleaning it at all will equally damage the hair.
So, the solution is to keep shampooing to remove the remaining hair spray that is still attached to the hair, and make sure the hair is dry when you sleep. If possible, you can use a hair conditioner to prevent damage after using hair spray.
3. Tie hair during sleep
According to Kylee Health, a hairdresser from Los Angeles, that using a hair tie in the same part for a long time can damage hair strands. Especially if you continue to wear it while sleeping all night.
Because, binding hair in a long time, not only during sleep, can give curves to the part of the hair that's all. Which then makes the hair easily damaged and experience hair loss. Just like the human body, it's best to let your hair "breathe" relieved and take a rest while you sleep.
4. Use a hair tie too tight
Apart from not being recommended to tie your hair too long, you are also advised not to wear a hair tie that is too tight. Because this can actually increase the chances of hair damage.
Instead, try using a hair tie with fabric or a large hairpin that can give a little space for the hair to breathe.
5. Don't comb your hair
As much as possible, don't miss the routine of combing your hair before going to bed. Believe it or not, the habit of combing hair at night before going to bed can stimulate the production of natural hair oils that prevent dry hair. This condition will certainly help work the scalp and hair follicles to stimulate new hair growth.
6. Combing when the hair is still wet
Not much different from sleeping when your hair is still wet, combing wet hair can also damage the hair due to weak hair condition. If you notice, hair that is combed while still wet will fall out more easily than those combed in dry conditions.
If you don't want this to happen, it's better to comb your hair before you want to shampoo or before going to bed at night so it's not too tangled and easier to set up the next morning.
7. Does not moisturize the hair
Nice to shampoo in the morning? Kylee Health and Gibson recommend to regularly apply conditioner or coconut oil to the ends of the hair at night, then wait until the hair dries before going to bed.
The goal is to give nutrition to the hair cuticle while keeping the hair moist while you sleep. Continue with shampooing to clean the conditioner or oil in the morning.
