As soon as I walk into the shower, I make sure my hand is covering that shower head. That cold water nonsense is for crazies. Seriously, cold water is what they use at the nut houses.

I've been doing cold showers for the last couple months and can vouch for the effects on skin and hair. Cold water doesn't strip the oil away.
