Messy hair dont care

Trying to look cool and fresh just because i recently got out of the shower and left the house immediately. I was once asked in the UK why i dont blow dry my hair before going out of the house. I could not tell her that leaving the house with wet hair is normal back in the Philippines, I just told her that i dont want my hair to get more brittle than it already is. I later found out that leaving the house with wet hair in the UK increases the risk of getting sick. Thank the heavens i didnt get sick doing just that every single day.
