    Well, there's a lot of water evaporating as your head dries. Also, a lot of heat is leaving your head even without the evaporation. You just don't usually notice much because your hair acts as an insulator (unless it's wet..not such great insulation then). It has a large amount of surface area for water to evaporate from, so the process takes a lot of heat away quickly.

    Edit: Evaporation requires heat, and I didn't specifically mention that before.
