I have very long hair and have been getting used to washing it in the cold shower, though mine aren't as cold as they probably should be because there is a temperature lock on it at 77 degrees (which I am trying to remove). Thanks! Sat Nam, here's a quote from Yogi Bhajan about hair. He doesn't say directly not to shower in cold water but ... "The most sensitive area of ether in your body is the hair on your head. Those fibers should be cared for. They should be combed and oiled so they are soft, silky and act as antennae for that area. It is your subtlety and clarity in your mind."

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Sat Naam, I was taught that cold water should not hit the crown of the head. This is the gate where excess heat can escape, so just let it without shocking it with a temperature change. And hey, it is challenging enough to get your limbs in the cold water, why put your brain through that! HA HA! However my personal experience is that my hair does like a rinse of cold water sometimes, just like my body. I try to make sure it does not hit the crown, or any of the scalp if possible, just let it run down the length/ends of your hair beyond the roots. It can be refreshing. Anyone else do this, too? I always finish my cold showers, or any shower, with a cold rinse of the feet. As long as I can stand! It is the next best thing to a hands-on foot massage.
