I've not used a hair dryer on my hair for over 10 years. If you're in good health, wet hair is no big deal. My hair is mid-back length and I've been ill just one time since I began bike commuting. If I'm bathed when I leave the house, I stay clean because my biking sweat doesn't smell the way my "daily stress" sweat does. When all the sweat has evaporated, I smell the same as when I got out of the shower. Strange but true.
