how does cold water make hair shiney


Question Posted Friday July 30 2010, 4:03 am

It is like all of a sudden everyone I know is talking about how cold water washing literally saved their hair. So, I gave in and tried it now all I wanna know is how does cold water make hair shiney like this? What is the secret and how does everybody NOT know about this?

I will rate you I promise.

Cux is incorrect, it's not a myth but it's not a big secret either. It's actually very simple.

Hairs are made up of follicles, hot water and heat sources such as blow-dryers, straighteners and the sun cause these follicles to stand up. When the follicles are up, they are unable to reflect the light so well, which makes your hair look dull. Cold water causes the follicles to seal and lie flat, meaning light can bounce off the surface of the hair easier, making it look shiny.

It doesn't.

Myth: Rinsing with ice-cold water after a shampoo will give you shinier hair.
Truth: It might wake you up, but a dousing of cold water will have no effect on the shininess of your tresses.
