When something very cold touches the center of the palate, the cold temperature can set off certain nerves that control how much blood flows to your head. The nerves respond by causing the blood vessels in the head to swell up. This quick swelling of the blood vessels is what causes your head to pound and hurt. Some people call this a "brain freeze," even though nothing is really happening in the brain - it's all in the blood vessels of the head.

Will you get sicker if you wash your hair and you have a head cold but you don't go outside?

Washing your hair when you have a head cold and staying indoors will not necessarily make you sicker. A head cold is caused by a viral infection, not by getting your hair wet. However, exposing yourself to cold temperatures or drafts after washing your hair could potentially make your symptoms feel worse temporarily due to the sensation of cold on your head. It is always important to keep warm and rest when you have a cold to help your body recover.
