Only if you get hypothermia (a specific medical condition that results from extreme temperatures lowering the core body temperatures ~ which is not an easy thing to do since our bodies have an amazing temperature control system especially when it comes to core body temperatures).
The common cold is caused by a virus. It is caught and spread by the transfer of virus particles. What can make you more prone to illness, is extreme tiring or weakening of your body's immune system (usually caused by medications such as transplant patients, people on chemotherapy, those with auto-immune disease, or other problems such as HIV/AIDS) which makes it harder, if not impossible, to fight infection.
Humans do lose heat rapidly through their head, which is a process that would accelerate with wet hair - usually when you get chilled to the point of shivering, the process the body uses first to help warm itself, you will be uncomfortable, but that itself is a cure, not a cause of lowered temperatures. If you get to the point of shivering and then having the shivering stop (which happens when you are at or near hypothermia), you may have a lowering of your core body temperature which may affect your immune system and therefore you could be more likely to catch a cold. This is a rare event. So, having wet hair and being in cold air wont make you sick unless you get to the point of hypothermia.

∙ 13y agoNo, not if it is for a short time period. If you go out in the cold with wet hair and stay in the cold for long enough to get hypothermia, then you can get sick but that is via injury to cells not from an infectious disease like the cold or flu.
It is a myth that being cold can give you a cold.

Does your hair curl better overnight when its wet or dry?
Wet Hair or Dry Hair?It is better for your hair to be dry. Why? Well, it depends on where you are, or what you are doing. If you are sleeping with wet hair, that might make you sick. Nothing serious, just a minor cold maybe. For me, having wet hair is uncomforable, but that might be different for you. On a cold day, you might get sick also, though it might cool you down on a hot day. Except on a hot day, it would dry quickly. But who cares anyway? Either way your hair is going to dry. It can't stay wet forever.~ShannonYOU SON OF A 888888888888888888

What is the prevention methods of common cold?
The best way to try and not catch a cold is just to wash your hands often. If you wash your hair don't leave it wet, get it as dry as you can as fast as you can. Do not go outside with your hair wet. Carey a hand sanitizer around with you. And avoid being around people that you know are sick.
