Gels

Is it harmful to Gel your hair and not wash it out at night?

i use Dove gel and LA looks gel sometimes. But I want to keep my look! So, is there any really bad things that can happen to your hair if you have hair gel in your hair all night! Can you loose your hair?

1. No, your hair just gets greasy and gross :)
2. it dries out your hair alot and then when it dries it looks like you have flakes.
3. No but it will be nasty in the morning..
4. it dryes it out and gets all gross in the morning
5. you'll have a better chance of losing your hair if you use heat products in the morning. keeping gel on at night is obviously a bad decision... gel is shiny and heavier than wax/clay. wax/clay is light and sculpts very well without a shine and it won't be as flaky. if you're going to keep something in your hair at night, i'd suggest wax/clay rather than gel.
6. no it'll give u drandruff and mayb dry out ur hair
7. The high alchohol content of most styling gels will dry your hair out over time. Mousse would be a better option if you want to keep it in your hair overnight. You should only do this a couple nights a week at most though.
