Remove hair gel before you go to bed. Hair
gel may be give you that great look but take care to remove
it from your hair before you go to bed. Not only is it bad for
your hair to have it on for to long, but it is all chemicals
and it is bad for you to sleep all night inhaling these chemicals
and the mild perfume that most hair gels have.
Hair gel also has the effect of sealing off
all the pores on your scalp. So in the night, the skin on the
scalp of your head cannot breathe and this is bad for your head.
