wow! you slept for 20 years?! (jk... sorry, I couldn't resist LOL)
 
I'm like you, I almost never put my hair up dry.  I need the extra grip that a little water provides, and also the bulk reduction. lol  I never put it up completely wet (fresh out of the shower) because it's too heavy and gives me an instant headache.  But dry enough to not drip, yeah no problem.

It probably didn't smell too good when it was first put up, either.  Wet hair tends to be that way, for some reason.  Doesn't smell good when wet, but does when dry.

I've never actually heard of anybody ever getting mold or fungus from putting up wet hair.  It sounds to me like an "old wives tale."  If I were you, I wouldn't worry about it.

Wow, that dosen't sound very good. I have thankfully never had anything like that happen, and I have put my hair up pretty wet since as long as I can remember.

While it may be possible, (I don;t know for sure myself) I know of many people who do it and don't seem to have a problem.

Confused

I've heard this years ago that if you put your hair up while it is wet that you could develop mold?

Is this true?  I wait until my hair is dry to put it up because of hearing that, but don't know if it's really true or not?

Anyone know?  That's all I need is fungus.......gross
