Dear Yahoo!:
Is it bad to sleep with wet hair?

Dear Wethead:
We couldn't find any medical reason not to (e.g., you'll go blind, you'll get pneumonia, etc.), but if you're serious about hair health, we'd advise against it. Most of our research comes from hair product sites, but here's what we found:
Instyle Hair warns against sleeping with wet hair, saying when hair is wet, "the hydrogen bond is broken." Therefore, hair strands are more fragile and easier to break.
Tenderheaded Accessories ("Pampered hair is healthy hair") offers a wide-toothed comb that's specifically designed for wet hair. Why? Because wet hair is "hair's most fragile state."
Apparently, restless sleepers can damage their hair on regular cotton pillow cases. Makers of the Divine Satin Hair Pillow suggest that their silky pillow is much easier on sensitive hairstyles.
To prevent hair breakage, the Long Hair Group suggests that you "put your hair up" in ponytail before going to sleep and only brush dry hair. Again, these are only suggestions.
And finally, a Yahoo! Search on "wet+hair+sleep" resulted in this cautionary fairy tale from Guam. Read it and make up your own mind (or head).

I am a cosmetologist and it is not necessarily bad to sleep with your hair in a ponytail. Do not use a rubber band or an elastic holder with no covering. The best thing to use is pony-os; they are mainly manufactured for children's wear, so they are comfy and don't damage the hair.

I don't know if it's bad for your hair, but it gives me a headache. I think it feels better sleeping without a ponytail.

it isn't the greatest, cuz it can cause breakage where the hair elastic is...if you are going to wear it in a pony tail, try using a scrunchie or a scarf to tie it instead.

I would assume so because the elastic moves and can rip your hair, especially if it's tight

I think that it probably might cause more frizz but its probably just the same as wearing one in the daytime
