Do Italians really have a problem with going out with wet hair?

Likely moreso than Italian-Americans; over there social mores are heavily embedded. I suspect the wet hair bit has more to do with appearing to be a slob and people look down on you than health reasons. When I was a little kid my sister and I learned about crossing eyes, we'd freak the adults by crossing eyes in the middle of a convo. We're little kids and having a blast, laughing. We did it to grandma and she fucking freaked; demanded we never do it again cuz if someone smacked us on the back when doing it, the eyes would get stuck crossed permanently forever. Same deal with wearing clean underwear everyday, you might get injured and the hospital personnel would see your non clean underwear, and think you are trash. The Italian rule of thumb: disaster waits around the corner ready to nail you at anytime so be prepared

Lol we used to get the your face will freeze like that too!

My friend's husband is a cycling freak and they went to Italy during the Giro d'italia. She's a tall statuesque blonde and dresses really well, I posted a pic of her wedding. She couldn't get over how everyone was dressed to the nines in Turin for a bike race. She was wearing shorts and felt like a bum.

I've not looked deeply into it but it does seem that the further south in the Med. the more societal conformation there is expected, strictest in the Muslim countries
