hot or cold water in shower~!

[BostonHawk]

hey, so my barber told me to turn the shower off with cold water to close up the pores. Does anyone else do this? So far it has seemed like good advice.

ya, i've heard it's a good idea. but its so hard not to have nice..warm.. showers

i thought you want the pores open for better minoxidil absorption?

 

[phantom2x]

it is good .

Hot water opens the pores for better absorption.

Cold water closes them to reduce irritation/itchiness.

Warm water wedges them half open half closed.

Yes i do that. When you have a warm or hot shower you sweat while your showering, if you leave the shower hot you will continue to sweat until your body cools down. Standing under cold water for say 10 seconds after you have finished washing yourself cools your body temparate and you stop sweating.

I doubt it has anything to do with hairloss or helping with hairloss but it's good for people with sensitive skin as when the sweat evaporates it leaves a small amount of salt on your skin which mat cause irritation. I suggest you check this information with your doctor for verification.

Wash your hair in luke warm water and rinse it in cold - that way you reduce the risk of dehydrating your scalp - itchness (not male pattern baldness related itchyness).

Ice cold water "could" chock the cells and thus create some form of rejuvination - it´s a theory.

I think the barber was implying that very open pores would accellerate the processes of hairloss because the hair would have a bigger hole to fall out of.
