"Have you ever heard this anti-frizz, shine-boosting hair tip? I bet a lot of you have, but I wonder how many of you actually follow it on a regular basis.Perhaps I should start washing my hair in the sink like this lady The tip of which I speak: rinsing your hair with cold water after you shampoo/condition it. Hot water raises the hair cuticle up, which creates a less smooth and reflective surface--in other words, hot water doesn&amp;#x27;t lead to maximum shine. And when the hair cuticle isn&amp;#x27;t smoothed down, it&amp;#x27;s easier for moisture to seep in and cause frizz and flyaways, unlike when the cuticle lays flat. Thus the advice to use cold water instead--or at least cool water vs. the very warm water most of us like to shower with. For the past few months, I&amp;#x27;ve been using Wen (it&amp;#x27;s a kind of halfway point between regular shampoo and no-poo--I&amp;#x27;ll review it for you soon), and it pretty much requires rinsing with cool. But most times lately, I just can&amp;#x27;t bring myself to do it! Yes, I am that much of a wuss. Even though I grew up in cold-watered Maine and can swim in crazy-cold temperatures, the feeling of chilly water at the end of my hot shower isn&amp;#x27;t just jarring and irritating, it&amp;#x27;s a total buzzkill that ruins what was otherwise the most relaxing point of my whole day (I know, sad, but I have two kids under 2). I think if I had a removable showerhead and could target just my hair more easily, that would help--but still, I just kind of resent this tip even though it does noticeably work. How many of you rinse your hair in cold water? Do you hate doing so, or am I just way overreacting here? Photo: Thinkstock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
