Does washing your hair with cold water or warm water make a difference?

Sorry if the question sounds really dumb... but my hair is really dry and brittle, and I've been looking for a way to fix it. I don't live in the States, so it's kind of hard for me to go to a salon and get a TR and stuff.Does washing your hair with cold water or warm water make a difference?
Your question is not dumb at all!





I have been told that you should use warm water to wash your hair but then just before you are finished, that you should turn the taps to cold water. This helps your hair to be shiny.





Just another tip for your dry and brittle hair. This came right from my hairstylist, do not wash your hair to often. That way your natural grease in your hair will help to repair some of the dryness.Does washing your hair with cold water or warm water make a difference?
Ok,yeah im a hairdresser now you must first of all and this is why you have dry and brittle hair is because you wash your hair two many times a week hair must be lathered twice with shampoo every time you have a shower but you must only have a shower again twice a week i wash my hair every monday and thursday with shampoo and if i want to wash my hair any other day i would but i wouldn't use any shampoo just wash with water,also when washing your hair lather it twice first wash with warm water because it will open your hair follicle and this will clean the hair strands then rinse your hair with cold water as for this closes the hair follicle and wont cause your hair ti frizz, and don't forget that your hair is most weak when wet so don't brush your hair when its wet keep it up in a towel until no more water should be on your hair then gentle start brushing your hair from the bottom and work your way up to your roots also get yourself a leave in moisturizers from your hairdressers something you could leave in after your shower no need to wash it OKs i hope i have strangely answer your answer good luck.
Salons where you can get a professional hair treatment are everywhere, not only in the u.s. I don't go to have treatments there but i go to salons to buy kerastase deep conditioning masks which i recommend to you too. As for your question, yes washing with water that is warm or cold makes the difference. Don't use hot water, you'll further damage your hair and besides become more likely to get a cold, if you live in a place low temperatures occur. Rinse your shampoo off with warm water. That will help the conditioner you apply after, to penetrate the hair well. Cover your hair with a towel to allow the conditioner to absorb very well into the hair, heat makes it perfect. After that rinse it with not really cold water, but not warm too. You know like in between. I never saw improvement by washing with really cold water as i read from many sources, so i advice you to keep it in between for the final step.
washing hair with cold water is the best otion for you as you have dry and brittle hair and then use a good conditioner after it.. but if you still want to use the warm water for hair wash then try to keep it as mildly warm as possible.. to avoid the loss of natural hair oil (you can observe that the hair sheen is always less after a warm hair wash).. and then after follow with a good conditioner..
definitely.





i read online somewhere that cold water makes your hair shiny so i tried it, and it definitely works. hot water encourages frizz and fluff, while cold water smooths the hair cuticle down and promotes shine. also for extra shine buy a good hair treatment, best from a salon, annd rinse that out with cold water as well.


and if you dont like cold water, just use it to wash out your conditioner instead of both shampoo and conditioner.





but yes, it makes a big difference
Always use conditioner and cold water will better moisturize your hair.





It doesn't have to be ice cold. Just as cold as you feel comfortable with. And you can have it warm for most of the time and just make the water colder for the last minute or two. It's better for your skin as well.
What your supposed to do is wash it with warm water. (whatever temperature you shower too)


then condition it.


leave the conditioner in for at least a minute and not more than 3-4.


then the last rinse should be cold, so that it will close the cuticle and make it shine :]
Well cold water is probably better, it keeps the color in %26amp; gives it a shine, so I'm guessing it also wouldn't be as damaging.
washing your hair with warm/Hot water helps open the hair follicle and rinsing with cold/cool water helps to close it back down. Less frizz %26amp; crazy fly aways
no i don't think so. answer mine: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>
Um..... apparently it is good to just rinse your hair in cold water. just quickly, but yeh the rest just wash it with warm water
WASHING WITH COLD WATER IS SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD FOR IT :)
if the water is way way way hot it is not good, but otherwise it doesn't matter. Cold water does add shine though.
