"Can Going Outside With Wet Hair"

Maybe you’ve always believed your parents and grandparents know best, but it may be time to second guess some of the tidbits of wisdom they’ve passed down about physical health. One of the most common beliefs — or, more accurately, old wives’ tales — that’s has been passed down from generation to generation is that going outside with wet hair can make you sick. No one really knows how this would work, since wetness doesn't inherently make you more attractive to germs. But, if you're the kind of person who doesn't like to blow dry your hair before going out, and you (like most people) are more prone to getting sick during the winter, I can see how the association could be made. The truth is, however, a lot more complicated than that. Wet hair has a bad reputation of causing health issues, but most researchers agree that being cold — whether due to wet hair or a lack of a jacket — doesn’t actually contribute to contracting the common cold.
