Wet Hair

Can wet hair in the cold make someone sick?
I felt fine after taking a shower; left my hair wet and slicked back. I then went to watch my nephew play hockey in a very cold ice rink for over an hour and felt sluggish afterward . Did this do something to me ?
No! You do not "catch cold" from going out with a wet head. Colds are caused by germs (typically viruses), end of story.
However, the brain requires a disproportionate oxygen supply, so the head is very richly supplied with blood flow. For that reason, you can lose a lot of body heat through your head (and neck) on a cold day, kind of like a radiator. If you weren't wearing a hat, you were undoubtedly stressing your body's energy stores to stay warm. No wonder you felt tired.
