Riiiiiiight. In real life, what you would be doing would be tangling your hair up into something that looks like a seaweed bed after a typhoon. Seriously. How is this different from hanging your head out the car window on the way to work to dry your hair? (Except for the obvious auto safety issues.) It just seems like you would be spinning your hair against itself until it was a rat's nest. If you were lucky, you'd be able to cut the worst of it out without losing too much hair.
