Question about cold showers.

you'll get all the benefits within 5-10 minutes. Shower like you normally would. When I would
only take hot showers the hot water was so relaxing that I would just stand under it for like 5 minutes without even putting on soap and whatnot. When I first switched to cold showers I would wash my hair, face, body and then I would pretty much be out of there within minutes. So I was saving water haha. Now My cold showers last 5-7 minutes. Basically take the time to clean and rinse properly and you'll be good.

 

I basically only have cold showers now. Like thepersonathome said, just basically treat it as a normal shower. The initial discomfort goes away, and after a minute or so, you get used to the cold water. Trust me though, it makes the world of difference. Not only does it help with PMO, but if you do it early in the morning, it energizes you for the rest of the day.

 

Cold showers are very helpfull to me. I take them on the nigth, just 3-5 minutes.

 

I've been taking them for a while now, enough to form a habit out of it. I recommend at least 5 minutes.

First few times suck and the cold water is always uncomfortable at first.
Just remember to breath deep and realize that you're not dying.
Also, you shouldn't keep your head under the cold water or else you will definitely get a headache.

Benefits I've noticed:
-More awake and alert
-Boost in mood and confidence
-Less depression
-Less soreness after workouts

 

I wash my hair under the cold water. I think it's ok if you just don't keep your head under the water for extended periods of time.

 

I typically only have a cold shower when I get an uncomfortable urge. I enjoy my warm showers in the morning and would never give them up. I find the cold showers are great to alert the brain and cool down the urges. I only do about 5 minutes. Sometimes a bit more. Just enough to snap myself out of the bad thoughts.

 

You can definitely wash your hair, but just don't do it for too long like heyitshannes mentioned.
