If you go outside with wet hair, will you catch a cold?

[Sattie]

False. Cold weather, wet hair, and chills don't cause colds. Viruses do. People tend to catch colds more often in the winter because these viruses are spread more easily indoors, where there may be more contact with dry air and people with colds. Dry air - indoors or out - can lower a person's resistance to infection.

Actually, I never heard anyone say wet hair gives you cold :? .
And I hope it won't since people like to swim.

It is something that Mother's have been telling us for ages..

I found this on the web that it does not cause colds...

Just like the one you must wait an hour after eating to go swimming.
