The claim that hair is shinier using cold water is said by some, but I can't tell the difference really. If you have done an experiment, then you should believe what you see.

I got 4 inches of my own hair cut at the hairdresser, and after treating 12 hair samples with cold water and 12 samples with hot water, (using a light sensor and LoggerPro) I was really surprised to see that hair was actually shinier when washed with hot water. Is this a possibility, or is my data probably faulty?

That's interesting! I have to use shampoo and I have to use those with SLS and specifically formulated for oily hair. You don’t use shampoo? That’s interesting!

Some water is hard, some water is soft, and that affects the hair. Soft water is best for hair, but most places get hard water. That might have an effect. Also, I don't use shampoo (don't worry, its not gross), so that might have an effect also. (btw, if you want to know more about the no shampoo thing go to www.naturallycurly.com). I usually just use warm water. I think the cold water rinses cause more frizz than actually helping. Another thing to remember is water hardness.

Better not to mix for face products for for hair, I'm inclined to be a bit more relaxed. But then again, if the organic treatment is supposed to do something, then the efficacy might not be as potent when mixed with chemical stuff. You mean for the hair or for the face?
