We’ve all gone to bed with wet hair, thinking, “It’s just water — no big deal.” But common myths around this habit deserve a closer look. Let’s bust a few!

❌ Myth 1: Wet hair causes lice
Fact: Lice come from direct contact, not damp strands. Sharing pillows or personal items spreads lice — wet hair alone doesn’t.

❌ Myth 2: It’s harmless
Fact: A damp scalp can lead to fungal infections, worsen dandruff, and weaken hair, making it prone to breakage and tangles.

❌ Myth 3: Air-drying overnight is better
Fact: Long-term dampness stresses hair. Towel-dry first, then use a cool blow-dryer for a healthier alternative.

❌ Myth 4: Only long hair is affected
Fact: All hair types are vulnerable. The scalp is the concern, not the length.

❌ Myth 5: Tying up wet hair helps
Fact: Tight styles stretch and snap wet strands. Always sleep with hair loose or in a gentle braid.

✅ Healthy habit tips:
Dry hair at least 80%, use a microfiber towel, and opt for a silk pillowcase. Your hair will thank you!
