Which one do you prefer. For me I prefer to take cold showers in the summer and hot showers in the winter. however on some occasions I like to take cold showers in the winter because it's very invigorating.
I've used shampoos with sulfate and as a male I never noticed the difference between sulfate and non-sulfate shampoo, but looking it up the only bad thing i found was that it strips your scalp of natural oils, thus making it "dry and brittle".Kinda both? I mean, the start of my showers are pretty hot because I enjoy the feeling of the hot water against my back, neck, and shoulders. Sometimes, I even increase the heat as I get used to it...well, I used to in my old place where I didn't have to pay for water and could enjoy a long shower. But, yeah. Where the cold comes in is after each step. After the first hair and body wash, I turn down the heat. Then second hair and body wash, the heat goes down again. Then conditioner and body scrub, the last rinse is with barely any heat. I think I feel better coming out of a cold shower than a hot one.
Hey, since we're talking showers...do you know if the sulfate thing is true? Like, is sulfate-free shampoo actually better for hair? I'm wondering because I think I'm gonna try it out the next time I buy shampoo.

After, doing some mild research, it seems like it's a toss up. Like, as you said FishHead, some people just don't see a difference. Then there's some that actually feel that their hair jives better with shampoos that have sulfates. Others find that sulfates weigh down and damage their hair to the point of ruining their curls. They say that the stripping of their hair that sulfates do make the hair weaker and more prone to tangles. For some, sulfates irritate the scalp from stinging/itching to excess shedding.If you have dry/fine hair, or have dry/sensitive skin (especially on your scalp or face), then it's possible that sulfates are too harsh for you. They were also thought to have been linked to cancer but that turned out to be false.
