Dry your head well after a shower. It is best to use a towel for this. The problem with water is that it can seep in through the scalp of your head and if you leave your head damp, the moisture can seep in and result in a headache.

As much as possible, do not blow dry your hair. Dryers are not a very good idea; the heat from the dryer is actually bad for your head. If you must use a dryer, use it only if you have long hair. Never use it to blow dry the short hair on your head.

If you must blow dry your hair, keep the blow drier well away from your head. Not only is the heat bad for your head, but the drone of the drier can also induce a headache.

Stay away from rain - especially the first shower of the season. It is not good to let the rain fall directly on your head. Rainwater may be refreshing but in can result in a headache. If you get wet in the rain, make it a point to dry your head as soon as you can.

The first rains are especially are very bad because the water will contain a lot of pollutants and this itself can result in a lot of health problems.

Do not let water get into your ears. This is especially true if you take dips in a pool. In this case, the best thing you can do is cover your hair and ears with a bathing cap. In most pools, chemicals are added to the water to keep it clean and disinfected. These chemicals, however, are not the best thing for your body and hair. So it is always advisable to cover your head with some protective material.

If water does go into your ears try and take it out as soon as you can. Otherwise you will develop a ringing sensation in your ears which can trigger a headache.
