A mother has sparked a fierce debate after questioning whether it is publicly acceptable to leave the house with wet hair.
Evie Farrellwho runs the company ‘Mumpack Trips’ hosted women’s vacations, was in Malaysia when an American noticed her hair was dripping wet.
Evie told FEMAIL the traveler was ‘surprised’ – even more so when other Australians on the trip did the same.
She shared one snap of her with wet hair on Facebook along with the caption: ‘Apparently that’s a very Australian thing?’
“In my opinion, as long as my hair is dry by the time I get to where I’m going (restaurant, dinner, work, etc.), I’m good at leaving the room with wet hair,” Evie continued.
Evie Farrell (pictured) hardly ever blow dries her hair. While in Malaysia, an American traveler found it strange. She asked if it is okay to leave the house with wet hair or not
“Why waste time with a blow dryer, especially when it takes time and makes me hot, plus no guarantee it will look better than drip dry anyway.”
A debate took off in the comments, with many saying they never dry their hair after washing it.
‘As a curly girl I’m anti-heat damage so I’ve left my house with wet hair every day since I was probably 12 years old,’ wrote one.
‘I have never owned a blow dryer in my life. Wet hair, never mind!’ said another.
“As an Aussie I guess I never thought it was weird, I just always let my wet hair dry when I felt like it,” wrote a third.

However, others disagreed and always dry their hair after showering.
‘I can’t stand the smell of wet hair – it’s actually my pet hate. Especially if you can smell it on the bus or public transport. I always dry my hair before I leave the house,’ said one.
‘I blow dry every day. It looks terrible without it, added another.
Another woman said: ‘I’m Aussie and would never walk out with wet hair, at least in the front to be dried and styled.’
A woman from Scotland said: ‘I’d get pneumonia if I went out with wet hair in general!’
“The only time I’ve bothered to dry my hair before leaving home is when I lived in London in the winter,” added one more.
According to Mayo Clinic, wet hair in a cold environment will not make you sick.
