Mothers say that because there is good scientific evidence to show that this is true, but it's not caused by what you may think.
Scientific studies have shown that wet hair, or being wet in general makes you colder, and as a result, you will want to be in a warmer place. Warmer places in winter time are usually inhabited by large numbers of other people who are also seeking to be warm as well. This puts you into closer contact than you might otherwise have with other people who may have colds or the flu. It doesn't actually reduce your immunity to colds or flu.

My mom said the same thing and I have been going out with wet hair and never had a problem from it.

No, going outside with wet hair doesn't make you sick. It simply weakens your immune system so you are more susceptible to the common virus.

You might feel cold with your hair wet but you can't possibly get sick.

No only a cold virus will make you sick, not wet hair.

No. That is just a myth. Your head will probably get cold, but it will not make you sick. Being sick is caused by bactiria & viruses, not cold weather.

I live in the midwest, we have cold weather from Oct-Feb. my mother always told me not to, but once I moved out I did it and nothing happened. You have to try it, you will never know.
