La quinta temporada de “The Boys” promete ser oscura y brutal. El creador de la serie, Eric Kripke, afirma que todas las apuestas están canceladas y que cualquier personaje puede encontrarse con su creador de una vez por todas. Si esto no suena lo suficientemente deprimente, Lleva a Kripke a X (anteriormente Twitter) para revelar que el primer episodio de la próxima temporada se llama “Fifteen Inch of Pure Dynamite”, que adelanta el regreso de Love Sausage (Derek Jones), un animal grizzly con la capacidad de transformar su virilidad en tentáculos mortales.
El título del episodio está tomado de “The Boys” #14 de Garth Ennis, Darick Robertson y Peter Snejbjerg, que se centra principalmente en Love Sausage. La historia lo ve formar equipo con Wee Hughie para luchar contra el crimen organizado ruso, lo que resulta difícil después de que el arma de Love Sausage se vuelve incómodamente grande durante la secuencia del club de striptease. Su masculinidad cuidada es su mayor arma, pero también es su kriptonita.
Love Sausage juega un papel menor en las primeras cuatro temporadas de la adaptación de Kripke, pero puede mejorarse en la quinta temporada. El final de la temporada 4 de “The Boys” terminó con el talentoso y exitoso Mother's Milk (Laz Alonso) siendo eliminado con su enorme pene, lo que sugiere que representará una amenaza aún mayor en los próximos episodios. Además, el personaje merece más oportunidades de brillar, ya que la serie de televisión “Boys” apenas arañó la superficie de su potencial.

A warm shower is a relaxing part of the bedtime routine, and when you’re ready to drift off at the end of your wash, who wants the rude awakening of a hot and noisy hair dryer? But before you put your wet head on your best mattress, you need to think about what that water might be doing to your bedding.
Rex Isap, bed expert and CEO at Happy Beds warns that sleeping with wet hair is bad for more than just your split ends. “When your pillows and bedding absorb the water from your hair, it creates the perfect breeding ground for bacterial and fungal growth as they thrive in a damp environment.”
And all that growth doesn’t stay tucked up in your pillow. As Rex explains, “this fungi could then be transferred to your scalp or face, putting you at risk of fungal infections.” Gross and dangerous – here’s why it really is worth grabbing your best hair dryer before bed.
#1. Wet hair can result in a moldy mattress
Going to bed with wet hair might seem like a harmless habit, but it could be causing serious harm to your mattress. “If the water from your hair touches your mattress during sleep, this could cause water damage,” warns Rex.
“Water-damaged mattresses are more susceptible to the growth of mold,” says Rex. “If inhaled or touched, this could result in an allergic reaction such as red eyes and sneezing.”

Once a mattress is wet, it takes a long time to dry. Beneath the bedding, this moisture can’t dissipate, and instead gets trapped within the layers of your mattress. As well as mold, this damp can allow dust mites and bed bugs to thrive, as well as result in staining – “not to mention the fact it could cause an unpleasant smell in your bedroom,” says Rex.

The best mattress protector can help limit harm from wet hair, while investing in the best mattress topper can provide an extra barrier of protection. But keep in mind that if you sleep with damp hair, it isn’t just the mattress that will be suffering…
#2. You might end up with neck ache
Going to bed with wet hair and waking up with a pain in the neck? It’s not just a coincidence – there’s an unexpected connection between the two. “Wet hair can result in the fillings of your pillow being unevenly distributed,” explains Rex. “This will affect how supportive it is.”
Instead of gently cradling your head, this uneven distribution can hold your neck at an uncomfortable angle. As Rex says, “this can lead to physical issues such as back and neck pain, as your neck and spine should be aligned when you sleep.”

Wet hair is also a reason why pillows can turn yellow, especially if you haven’t done a very good job washing out the shampoo and conditioner. And similar damp staining might mean you have a lot of work to do next time you clean your headboard. Although, at least when your headboard gets damp, it isn’t against your skin. Which brings us to the next problem…
#3. Damp pillows can cause skin infections
As Rex mentions, going to bed with wet hair turns your pillow into the kind of damp, warm environment that bacteria and fungi love. When you lie on your pillow, this fungi can then transfer to your bare skin, potentially resulting in an infection.
“One of the most common fungal infections of the skin is ringworm, which can cause a dry, scaly, or itchy patch on the affected area. It is frequently spread through contact with items infected with this type of fungi, including bedding, according to the NHS website,” says Rex.

Worried about infections? We have some advice on how to clean your pillows, which you should aim to do roughly every six months (even if you always go to bed with dry hair). Additionally, it’s worth investing in some pillow protectors – fabric socks that sit between your case and pillow. This added barrier can prevent too much moisture from your damp hair seeping into your pillow.
But the best solution is to simply dry your hair before going to bed. If you don’t have a hair dryer, we can help you find one that will make drying your hair as quick and easy as possible – check out our guide how to buy a hair dryer.
What to do if you go to bed with wet hair
Despite your best intentions, do you still find yourself occasionally going to bed with wet hair? Here’s what you can do to limit the damage it does to your mattress.
#1. Get rid of the worst of the moisture
While dry hair is best, if you don’t have time for a full blow dry routine, the next best option is to remove the worst of the moisture. Use a microfiber towel or have a quick blast with the hair dryer so your hair isn’t sopping wet by the time you get into bed.
#2. Regularly clean your mattress
You should deep clean your mattress twice a year anyway, but if wet hair is causing water damage, you might need to do it more regularly. However, stripping the bed, washing your sheets, and spot cleaning stains once a week gives the mattress a chance to air out and you a chance to deal with small problems before they become major issues. This regular cleaning doesn’t have to be a massive chore – you can clean your mattress with household products, and if you wait until the last hours of the weekend for your big tidy, you might even find this so-called Sunday reset helps you sleep.
#3. Invest in mattress and pillow protectors
It’s worth buying mattress and pillow protectors even if you don’t go to bed with wet hair, as they help keep your sleep setup as fresh as possible. As well as adding a barrier between you and your bedding, these protectors are significantly easier to wash than a mattress or pillow. So if things do get damp, you can simply whip off the protectors, give them a wash, and keep the mattress beneath clean.
