Cold Water and Hair Growth? (Myth-busting)

Have you ever heard that washing your hair in cold water was the remedy to your hair shortage? If so, then we have a little news for you. Now, before we tell you everything, we would like to apologize for crushing (obliterating, if you will) this myth. In all fairness, however, someone has to do it!

While this myth has circulated more times than we can count from woman to woman and lasted much longer than it should have, it's a little more complicated than this idea.

So, let's get to the bottom of it right now.

The Search for the Rapunzel Effect

We know that having long locks is certainly desirable. I mean, who doesn't want to be complimented on healthy, growing hair. However, if you've actually tried the cold-water idea, you have probably noticed something… it hasn't helped one bit. While it can help your color last longer for those with amazing color additions, hairstylists everywhere agree that there are no real growth benefits to washing your hair in cold water.

Real hair growth is a matter of a multitude of other factors. From diet (yes, diet) to lifestyle choices, your hair can be affected by many factors internally and externally, but cold water is not one of them.

While the hair is one of the fastest-growing tissues within the body, it takes a trained stylist to bring out the best in a head of hair and give it the right nutrients, products, and techniques (like avoiding over styling and high heat) to get it on the growing train.

The bottom line

There is no scientific evidence or seen evidence that cold water is a miracle to overnight growth. However, there is still good news in all of this. We got you covered! Give us a ring, and let us get your hair to healthy lusciousness in no time.
