HOT shower is GOOD for HAIRLOSS

[diehunnen123]

i see people comment on threads saying that cold showers are good for hairloss. that is not true, let me explain. showering with hot water increases blood circulation. therefore promoting growth. yes, its that simple

WTF? And this other guy told me last week to use a goddamn ice helmet... I'm confused now.

The purpose of the ice helmet is to reduce the flow of blood to the scalp during chemotherapy in order to minimize the transmission of the drugs to the scalp.

The hot shower theory makes sense, anything that increases the blood flow to the scalp can only help to nourish the hair follicles, though I doubt the 10 minute duration of a shower makes a huge difference. Scalp massages probably have the same effect, if they have an effect.

A few months ago I read some article about scalp massages. Guy claimed he was regrowing hair lol. With intense massages. I am pretty sure they were just trying to sell something.

There was a guy on here a few years ago called SEFreak. (scalp exercises freak) who swore by them... I don't like touching my hair too much though, makes it feel greasy and thin.

At a guess I would say massages but I am probably way off.

I had try a certain scalp exercise from another website and also showers with hot water many years and it doesn't work a follicle. still balding fast

Realistically the temperature of your shower is not going to stop your genetic hair loss, however I do think that Hot water is not only bad for skin but bad for hair as well. Cold immersion is good for your body and better for your hair although I doubt either play a significant effect in male pattern baldness. Something I don't see spoken about often however is hard and soft water and their effect, I suspect it is a similar case to Hot/cold but as someone who has lived in an area of hard water all my life I have never experienced soft water and so can't say how it would effect my hair, I think in the near future I am going to try it out and see if it makes any difference.
