Uh no, and I go to bed with damp hair all the time.  Where did you hear this?

Oh, and supposedly a baking soda/water solution works to clarify as well. I'm sure you can find it on google.

Someone asked this question awhile ago. If you search, it'll come up, I'm sure.

I've worn my hair wet/damp for 2-3 days at a time. I usually wash it and put it up into a bun (with a little rooster tail, haha) when it's totally wet. If I don't take it out, my hair stays damp until I let the bun out.

I've never had any mold or anything growing in my hair. It takes a lot longer for that kind of thing to happen and there usually has to be some kind of bacteria, etc. in there. So "damp" doesn't necessarily = mold, and certainly not over night.

If you wash your hair at night and go to sleep with it damp can it grow mold or rot???? And also is there a way to clarify without use a clarifying shampoo????? TIA
