I had a migraine today at work and my teacher partner said 'maybe you didn't dry your hair'. Later I asked my girlfriend, who is a nurse, and she said in China it's believed that a history of not properly drying your hair after washing it causes migraines. I looked it up and it seems to be not a specifically Chinese belief - certainly it exists in the Philippines and perhaps other Asian countries.
There don't seem to be any studies showing this to be the case. It might not be completely untrue though - though the causes of migraine are currently unknown, there are various triggers that vary from person to person. Perhaps some people who suffer from migraines are triggered by the refrigeration effect of wet hair?
