To let dd go to bed with damp hair..

[Sugarbeach]

...after her evening shower and hair wash? TIA!

No. I do it every evening when dd washes her hair. Put a dry towel on the pillow before she sleeps

as long as you don't mind her looking like a scarecrow in the morning. If I go to bed with damp hair I have to wash it again in the morning as it dries in all sorts of directions.

Best to blow dry it really if you can:)

isn't that child abuse

You will be fine!

I meant yanbu - she will be fine!

Glad to know there are others who do that too, DD2 has shiny straight hair which looks good no matter what...yes am very jealous

Great to have you mn as sounding board! Thank you.

She doesn't mind the scarecrow look....it's a pain to brush out though!

I do normally blow dry it, but I didn't tonight and at other times.....just that my mum would never have let me ( not that people wash their hair very frequently in those days....)....some old wife's tales or something.

My hair looks better if I sleep on it wet. Goes all curly. Only thing is I wash it in the morning...so that doesn't really work.

Mine takes a long time to dry because it's so thick that I wash it at night and it's just about dry by the morning.

Horrible memories of waking up with frozen hair :(

I can never be arsed to dry my hair on an evening, I just stick a towel on my pillow after a vigorous towel dry.

I always let my hair dry naturally but DMIL said you would have nightmares if you went to bed with wet hair. I wouldn't let DS do that as his bedroom is quite cool at night.

I take the worst of the dampness out with the hairdryer, then plait their hair before they go to bed

I can't get a brush anywhere near it in the mornings otherwise

Yanbu. Our house is warm so the dc's go to bed with damp hair. I do too.

Used to do it - just either tie it back or plait it. Did me no harm; was maybe only a bit uncomfortable.

"Nightmares if you went to bed with wet hair"???

I do it & so does my dd. i dont use towels on the pillow, blow dry it or plait it. We both look fine in the morning. I dont understand why you would blow dry childrens hair.

I don't do it because our house isn't that warm and also I have memories of waking up with a cold head as a child in the middle of the night due to damp hair - even with a towel on my pillow :( I wash DD's hair in morning or daytime and only once a week. It doesn't need washing more than that but then she's 4 and only has baths so her hair is tied up at bathtime and doesn't get wet. Incidentally, I often shower without getting my hair wet - can't your DD tie her hair up and keep her head out of the water stream?

YANBU, by the way (even though I wouldn't do it).

Casserole, well it's waht she was told by her parents and what she told her kids. DH was quite surprised I did it.

It probably was a bad ideabefore central heating. My mother has tales of ice on th inside of the windows, so wet hair would freeze rather than dry.

These days not a problem.
