Can washing hair with cold water cause breakage?


Washing your hair with cold water can potentially lead to breakage, especially if your hair is:


• Dry or damaged

• Prone to breakage

• Has split ends


Cold water can strip your hair of its natural oils, causing dryness and brittleness. However, cold water can also:

• Add shine

• Reduce frizz

• Stimulate blood flow to the scalp

To minimize breakage, use a gentle shampoo, avoid using cold water exclusively, use warm to lukewarm water, and follow up with a nourishing conditioner.
