I washed my hair and its cold out. now my head hurts. will i get sick?

Probably not: This does not mean much except that your body is responding to temerature. If you routinely are cold outside and provide stressors to your body like exposures to illness, could definitely increase chances of illness. Good luck and stay warm.
