According to studies, the quality of hair and skin often drops due to hot water. The hot water opens the pores of the scalp and thereby removes the natural oils that are present in the scalp. Many women spend a fortune on treating their hair, but if they try the cold shower, chances are that the treatment would be less frequent.

The skin is also affected. Indeed, the hot shower opens the pores of the skin and the bacteria penetrate there. Cold water does not open the pores of the skin and does not give the pimples the opportunity to appear.

This is the method I recommend if this is your first cold shower. Start your shower normally as usual. Then lower the temperature gradually. Hot water, then lukewarm and finally cold.

2. The planned method

Take a cold shower straight away, but start with your head, then your chest, back, and then your feet. Don’t go from the bottom up.

3. The crazy method

Scream, jump, fight to stay under cold water. This is a method that I don’t recommend at first.
