I was wondering if different water temperatures help to not cause damage to hair. i have pretty damaged or "britle" hair, and I'm using that new Dove shampoo(the new blue bottle) that I really love. I don't really mind cold showers as long as they aren't freezing. What is a good water temperature, if any?

I read somewhere that its ok if you take quick hot showers, but you should wet your hair everyday. Also a common tip is at the end of you shower you do one quick blast of cold water to seal the ends of your hair and make it nice and shiny.

The temperature doesn't matter. Extreme heat like irons, curling or straightening can dry hair out because it removes all moisture. Hair cuticles are open and closed by Ph. Hair is naturally acidic (4.5-5.5) And you want products in this ph range. Salon products will be. Most drugstore shampoos and conditioners are alkaline and not as effective. Look for products that are ph balanced. Cold water closing hair cutlicles is a myth. Honest.

U should wash it in warm water 2 open the hair shaft (not pores & not a myth) & get thoroughly clean. U should rinse it in cool water to close the hair shaft (not pores & not a myth). The cool water will cause the top (cuticle) layer 2 "seal" (not a myth)leaving u w/ smooth, healthier & better protected hair. Though water temp won't solve ur prob. If u want healthy hair u need 2 go 2 a salon & buy pro hair care products.

one that is on the cold side.
Not freezing because the damages it too.
Extreme temperatures aren't good.
So one thats really hot will do some damage also.
This is the same when using a blow dryer

you want to wash with luke warm or warm then towel dry before you apply the conditioner. When you rinse the conditioner rise with cold or luke cold water the cold water closes the cuticle of the hair and it traps the moister of the conditioner in the hair shaft.

You can take warm showers but you need to condition the hair. Their are lots
of conditioner's on market. Depending on why hair is damaged. If damaged
from chemicals you probably need to consult with a professional.

Luke heat is maximum suitable. you ought to consistently blast it with chilly water when you have rinsed your conditioner out, too. It helps seal the cuticle, you will observe your hair is a lot smoother and would not tangle as surely.

Cold water is better for your hair but most people can't stand it. But it is true. Also have you tried treatments such as 3 minute miracle or a hot oil treatment?

It's okay to wash your hair in warm water, but rinse it in cool water to close the pores in your scalp.
