I dont know how to wash my hair! Options

ok, so i have pale blonde colored hair.
I've heard you should wash your hair with cold/cool water.
then again, when i go to the salon, my hairstylist washes with warm water.
what I'm getting to is how are you supposed to wash your hair? as in hot or cold water.
does anybody have a true answer?

What I've read is that you should rinse out all the shampoo and conditioner with hot water, then end the process by washing it with cold water for a minute or two. Cold water smoothes your cuticles.

Yea. It's said that you should wash the ends with cold water because it seals the ends of your hair. It's because if your hair is really dry, it helps lock in the moisture. But only do this after you've washed out all the excess shampoo and conditioner (like you normally would). Don't do this on your scalp/roots. Just the ends.


Oh yea and for conditioning, make sure to squeeze out extra water before you condition (like right after you're done shampooing and rinsing). Then put conditioner on the roots, and leave it in for a minute. If you have long, thick hair, leave it in for maybe 3 minutes. Then rinse it out. That way the conditioner has enough time to thoroughly absorb into your ends.
