I've heard that rinsing out conditioner with cold water is good for your hair, I was just wondering why. Someone know?

The shine...
Once upon a time, women would wash their hair with soap. That was the ONLY thing available for the job. Then, to get the soap scum out of their hair they would rinse with vinegar and water (3:1 just in case you're interested). The easiest was to use the water as it came from the well--cold. But women found that doing so left their hair wonderfully shiny.
Now, since we have wonderful shampoos that don't leave any sort of scum in our hair, there is no longer any need for vinegar rinses. But if you rinse your hair in cold water, it WILL still impart a nice shine to it.
And there are stilll women who rinse with cold vinegar water. In areas of the world where product is hard to find or not as important as it is in North America, women still use this method to help make their hair shine.

The last rinse should always be with cold water. It opens the pores

effective as quickly as you make the main of heat water on the initiating up of the bathe it opens up the hair follicle allowing it to soak up the conditioner greater desirable useful. Then the chilly rinse seals each and each and each and all the moisture in leaving you with truly mushy, dazzling hair.

Hot water opens the structure of the hair (frizzy) and cold water closes it (smooth). It's probably best to use tepid water all the way through unless you're trying to make your haircolor come out. But I don't follow my own advice.

It keeps your hair follicle in tact. Like how splashing your face with cold water closes your facial pores, cold water tightens your hair follicle.
This keeps hair from looking frizzy since each strand will appear to be one single strand rather than appearing to have split ends and breakages.

Cold water seals in moisture in the cuticles, creating a smoother hair surface although I shouldn't worry about this too much unless you live in a really dry area.

It is supposed to smooth the follicle of the hair, make it look less frizzy. Hot water tends to keep the cuticle rough because it makes the hair shaft swell--so any damaged pieces kind of "jut out" making it look frizzy.

It tightens the cuticles and makes it appear shinier.
