Interesting…never knew that cold water can’t wash out the chemical stuff that well.

I use cold water and then rinse with the warm because i noticed with chemical products they do not wash out with cold as easily. Once my hair is fully rinsed i blast the cold and give my scalp a massage

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

I have recently conducted an experiment (required for my Research class in school) on The Effect of Rinse Water Temperature on Luminosity of Human Hair (aka if hair is shinier using hot or cold water). 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?

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