Do you pay attention to the water temp while washing your hair? do you think you should? here is something that you may find interesting:

The temperature of the water you use while washing your hair should ideally not be warmer than room temperature. In fact, the best thing would be to use the lowest temperature you can bear. cold water helps the hair scales lie down flat, making them stronger. On the other hand warm water opens the hair scales not only causing more frizz but also making the hair shaft weaker and more vulnerable. In addition, the scalp secretes certain oils that are good for the hair. These oils get dissolved in warm water, causing further dryness. Cold water does not dissolve the natural oils

I just don't get along well with cold water. I'm always being told that cold water is healthier for washing your hair and taking showers (better for blood circulation), but I still can't stand it. Warm water is very relaxing!
