At the end of a long day, it's all too easy to take a hot shower, brush your teeth, and then jump into bed. As it turns out, going to bed with wet hair isn't as harmless as you probably thought.
The first negative result of sleeping with wet hair is purely cosmetic (美容). lf you try to style your hair in the morning after sleeping on it wet, you're probably going to have trouble styling the resulting curliness (卷曲), funny waves, and flat sides.
When you wake up, you're probably going to have to re-wet it again to properly dry it and regain control.
Sleeping with wet hair does not immediately damage your hair, but it can certainly lead to hair breakage, because hair is weakest when wet.
First, you can swap your cotton pillowcases for silk ones. Silk has a much smoother surface, so you won't experience as much unfortunate breakage.
Next, you can make sure to sleep with your hair down, instead of up in a tight ponytail. In addition, you should replace your tight bands with a soft one that isn't going to roughly pull at night.
Dry oils and texturizing mousses (摩丝) are some of the best ways to ensure you don't wake up looking like a lion while protecting your precious hair from damage.
Now that you know how bad sleeping with wet hair is, make sure you're not making these hairstyle mistakes.
A. Finally, never skip out on applying product.
B. Here are some tips that can help dry any hair faster.
C. This unnecessarily adds time to your morning routine.
D. If you haven't noticed, the ends of your hair tend to dry first.
E. You can't predict how your wet hair is going to look in the morning.
F. But have you ever thought about the risks of sleeping with wet hair?
G. If you must sleep with wet hair, there are a few ways to minimize the damage.
Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer (温度计) for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear.
{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don't feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.
Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale. Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.
The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts. That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.
First, take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap; fill the bottle with colored water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw through the nail hole.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}.
Finally, place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water lever easily.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the lever in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water lever in the straw each morning for a week.
A. Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work. B. People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world. C. We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives. D. The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher. E. Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled. F. Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap to seal them together. G. They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degree and boils at 100 degrees. |
