Peace be upon you.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may Allah protect him):
It is a condition that the front of the head is dry when intending to wipe it. It is necessary to dry the area to be wiped from any droplets so that the effect is from the wiper to the wiped, and not the other way around. Therefore, if the hair is excessively wet, there is a flaw in wiping the head.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect him):
It is a condition that the front of the head is dry when intending to wipe it. It is necessary that there is no visible wetness on the area to be wiped, but it does not matter if it is merely damp or absorbed. Therefore, if the hair is excessively wet, there is a flaw in wiping the head.
