Creative Layers Hair Salon

Here's the facts! 👇🏻

Hot water on the hair is terrible for our hair & skin. Especially when it comes to shampooing & conditioning our hair.

🚿 What does hot water do?

It opens the hair cuticle & strips our natural oil & hair dye. Leaving dry ends & faded hair color or blondes will turn a brassy color (our environment, products & hot tools also play a role).

🚿What should I do then?

Cool - warm water temp.

🚿Here is what I do.

I'm always cold & LOVE my hot showers. I start by bathing in hot water & when I'm ready to wash my hair. I lower the temperature in my shower. Almost on a medium to cool temperature. I shampoo. Then when I place my conditioner in my hair. I let it sit like a treatment. Then I turn the water back on hot and finish bathing until I'm ready to rinse my conditioner out. Then I place the water back on cool for a good body rinse.

You will notice less dry scalp, hair and skin.

‼️Fun fact: Did you know that when you shave in hot water it leaves your pores opened?! Closing your pores with cool water will help with longevity of a shave or from dirty getting trapped into the skin.‼️
