Sleeping on Wet Hair = Sinus Problems?

[SerenavanderWoodsen]

Last week I wore my hair curly for several days and slept with damp hair. Not long after I stopped I ended up with a miserable case of sinusitis, I've been suffering since Wednesday or so. I am MISERABLE. I developed a milder case of sinusitis last time I wore my hair curly and wet.
What is the connection here?
I cannot find a definitive answer and many say it's an old wives tail that wet hair can make you ill yet it happens to me and many others...

That's happened to me b4 especially when My hair is wet and the fan is going... Not sure why though

I can't say if there is a connection, because I've had more cases of sinusitis on a dry head than a wet one. But keep an eye on it...might be better to blow dry with a diffuser before you go to bed, so you can protect the curls and not wake up sick.
