No Shampoo and Wash with Cold Water Only

[CORBINS]

Good Morning Everyone:

I was watching TV Guide Channel yesterday and the man that created Wen Cleansing Conditioner told one of his clients that they should wash with cold water *only*. I am guilty of using really warm water to wash my hair.

I was just wondering of there was anyone here that only washes their hair with cold water. If so, how long have you been doing this, and what have been the long term benefits? Thanks!!

I don't usually because I like the feel of WARM water on my skin and scalp, but I have heard that cold water makes the hair shinier, other than that I have no clue.

I try to do the cold water, but I am guilty of turning it back to warm. What I try to do is do the last rinse with cold water.

ur not supposed to do it like that. when you washthe shampoo out with warm water you open up the hair cuticle to let your conditioner soak in.then you rinse with cold AFTER a conditioner to close the cuticle up and seal the moisture back in. it depends on when you put in con (some people con wash) but whenever you are using conditioner you make sure your hair cuticle is opened up. the water doesnt have to be real hot , luke warm is good too

Thanks MZHOT, this is helpful to know.

no problem . that is one of the few things i learned in cosmetology after 4 years lol. alot of people dont realize what the different water temperatures are for. same thing for when you set under the hood dryer with con on it will cover the strands better . and the cold water hits it and make it smooth again because the cuticle is closed

Thanks so much for that information mzhotniz86! They didn't say just rinse, they said WASH with cold water ONLY! He was advertising for his Cleansing conditioner so maybe it'll work if you use his products? Maybe? I don't know. Maybe I should check his website.
