That is wrong because turbulent flow is less efficient at moving the heat away than laminar flow. Which result in a smaller temperature differential for your heat exchange and therefore less heat exchange.
In certain closed systems, turbulent flow can result in a faster equalization of temperature. But the airflow across your head is NOT a closed system.
