Have you all taken your cold shower today?

I don't mind cold water but five minutes to an hour after cold shower, my skin itches an insane degree. How to prevent this?

my shower stopped working and i thought i would be manly and take a cold shower,but in the end i just rubbed my balls really quickly and soaped my ass in a faggy pose under the shower

not to derail, but i have been posting here for like 15 years.

all right bro I'll shower for you tomorrow

I'm thinking of starting this. How cold exactly though? Is it supposed to be miserable or just a bit uncomfortable?
I can handle taking the water to the exact middle where it feels essentially room temperature then moving the nob a tiny bit towards the cold where it gets nice and cool, a bit uncomfortable but definitely bearable.
It's absolutely miserable though if the knob is deep into the cold side though. What do?

Cold showered for two weeks at one point in my life and felt incredible, but didn't have the mental toughness to continue. Shit is hard to keep up with

Hmmmmm

Pretty redpilled ngl

Yeah it's not gonna feel great, but your body will acclimate to it eventually. It's awesome after a really long run.

>being on this shitstain that long
w-won't be me, r-right guys?

Maybe, maybe not. I've been here for 13 years. It's the only bad habit I have, and it's harder to quit than drugs.

it's way more intelligent and informative entertainment than watching tv. i'm only on here between gfs btw.

Lol.

It's literally your blood flow coming back to normal. Just stretch.

I like taking a warm shower while using soap/body wash/conditioner, then I just blast the cold for a minute before getting out. You don’t have to go max cold, maybe halfway between lukewarm and max cold is a good starting point.

Does it help burn calories?

>not waking up and jumping into a nice cold lake

ngmi

Yeah, probably negligible though. Your body burns extra energy as it attempts to warm itself, and we all know that calories is this energy source.

Can you teach me to be this based and redpilled?

trips of truth

I like to wait until midnight when the water gets really cold. Ive been taking cold showers for about 3-4 years. The last year I took only one hot shower to know what it feels.

Cold showers are very powerful

alright I’ll take cold showers just for the hair benefits

I take cold showers for 2 years, because it's hassle to light on boiler, and let me tell you, all of these "health benefits" are total bullshit.

did it do anything for your hair

I take cool showers because warm showers make my skin itch.

I would say its way better than hor showers and the hair doesnt feel like straws after usinf hor water plus shampoo.
I would recomend only cols shower without shampoo.
t. Another user

No. Like i said, all of these "benefits" are either a lie or user's delusion and placebo.

Cold showers are good for your hair, its more hot showers are bad for your hair

If you can't handle cold showers at least make sure you turn the temp down to luke warm when you wash your hair.

*Cold showers **ARENT** good for your hair*

sorry for the type

I know this feel. It's a lot fucking colder than you think its gonna be. I took the full shower though, legitimately painful.

so if hot and cold aren’t good then why take showers at all, do I not take showers now

overproduction of earwax is a common trait in my family, which has never really been a problem for me since I always used to do warm showers. Now that I'm doing cold showers, I've noticed I've been getting ear-aches through the day, since the warm water at the start of the day is no longer melting it inside my head.

FEELS AWFUL.

First do a warm shower to melt the wax then turn on the cold

Just avoid hot water when washing your hair. Hot water is bad for your hair. Doesn't mean you have to take cold showers, you can take lukewarm showers too.

Or you can take hot showers when washing your body than turn the temp down a bit when you wash your hair

A word of caution to the effect of cold showers on your gains lads.

the entire reason I take a cold shower is to suffer

everyday since 3 years

No because I live in the middle of fucking nowhere and my disgusting well water in intolerably "sticky" unless it's skaldng hot

>haha it rings true we're such rascals on this website that I am certainly an old peruser of!

Bonus point if you are indian

Started takign exclusively cold showers after workouts and runs. That's probably the only way you can take them anyway without it feeling uncomfortable. You don't take them while you're calm and relaxed, with a lowered body temperature. You take them after your body has gone through a good amount of exertion and thermoregulation is in full gear.

Try it next time you finish a workout session or come back from running. Just turn the knob halfway towards cold and just take it. You won't even feel it. For extra points, if you have a sauna, just blast yourself with 100% cold for like half a minute and then immediately get in a nice 100C sauna. Best shit ever.

actually I read its not good to take it immidately after hard workouts. you lose some benefits of what happens when u rush straight to recovery mode with cold water. Ice baths and cold showers are most optimal like an hour after workout.

Sauna is different story, the contrast thing is goat.
