That's what Nivea haircare expert Dr. Christian Frese: "In general, the temperature of the water has only a relatively small influence on the condition of the hair after washing, except for dyed hair.Rinse with warm water a little better.I recommend to shower or wash your hair to choose the water temperature, where you feel comfortable.

2. That's the right water temperature for colored hair
For colored hair, however, the water temperature is crucial for the durability of the paint. "The color molecules that have been incorporated into the hair during dyeing are rinsed out again during washing, and the faster and the warmer the water, the faster and stronger." There are no extra products, because shampoos or rinses do not give the hair any new color molecules. If you want to keep the color as long as possible, you should wash with colder water.
3. Does the hair shine more when we wash it with cold water?
"The hair swells in both warm and cold water, even if it takes a little longer with cold water, or cold water at the end of a wash will not close the hair surface and hair after washing stronger shines. "
4. Does hot water dry your hair?
Although the hair swells in the water and then temporarily contains more moisture than dry hair, after drying the hair has the same moisture content as before washing, which is independent of the water temperature at which it was washed. "
