I don't like hot or cold showers. I like the water to be a little warmer than the air temperature.
My understanding is that "hot' showers are good for soar and tight muscles and relaxation, but they are bad becuase it dries out your skin and can burn you.
It is also my understanding that "cold" showers are good for waking up, revitalizing you, getting focused, and sobering up after a hangover. They are bad if you are trying to cool off from overheating (if the water is too cold) because it can actually send your body into shock, and cold showers can also cause tense muscles to tighten more and "charley horse".
So, there's my opinion...
Good luck!

I like it warm. Some people say it is good to do a hot/warm then finish it up with cold. Something about helping you relax and the muscles.

I like warmish-hot water. I hate being cold. The warm water is relaxing and feels so nice. HOT and COLD water probably make you feel uncomfortable since it makes you scalding or ice cube freezing shivering cold.

Cold........... Hot water is good if you want to relax your muscle ( work out, stress, etc) but even if you have a hot shower finish it with a cold quick one....... it closes your pores after the hot opens them to stop impurities from getting in, it tightens the skin ( good to help prevent wrinkles) and it is more refreshing, if you come out of a hot shower your are even more prone to catching a cold.

I like warm water. Too hot dries your skin out and you can get scalded. Too cold makes you freeze. I like a good temperature bordering on hot though.

I have heard if you take a very very hot shower and then turn it to shocking cold it will help the growth of cells and your imune system!!
