well if the water is burning your skin then its bad. but if you mean really warm showers then no its not bad for you. Warm water works better with soap to carry away the dirties on your skin.

They help your blood and acne as well.

umm..well, it can be. even if it feels good, you may want to make the temperature lower if youve got dry skin because itll actually dry it out more.

Well your not meant to wash your hair with hot water. Hot water helps unblock pores etc, as long as the water is boiling hot then .. it's not exactly a bad thing.

actually depending on your hair type depends on whether you should wash ur hair in hot water. If your hair is more fine and you have an oil problem its good to do it in cool water, but if you are like me and have really dry coarse hair (because im part blakc and italian, yuhh) then its best to do it in warm because it keeps the oils in your hair.

Hot water unclogs hair folicles and pores but I think it's bad if you have dry skin.

Wow I didn't know that hot water can dry out skin sweating.gif Good thing I put on lotion often after I take a shower wink.gif


I heard that hot water is bad for your hair because it can damage your hair. It's just like the sun -- enough to burn it and cause hair to get "fried" and crinkly, as well as causing split ends. I know that at one point I took really hot showers and my hair started to get damaged and I got major amounts of slipt ends. I don't take really hot showers (my boyfriend does though!) anymore.. Mainly more warm, than hot.


Oh yea and if you DO take really hot showers, you should consider rinse your hair with COLD water right after to seal up the split ends and cool it down.

it's only bad if it's like burning your skin. my friend took such hot showers she got first degree burns on her feet. so yeah don't do that. but if it's not like boiling hot then it's fine.
