Too much of hot water damages the hair as the heat in the water dries up the surface of the scalp. This will affect the moisture content of the scalp. The structure of the hair and the scalp gets enriched by water that is neither too hot nor too cold.

Typically in normal conditions heat expands and cold contracts.

The effect colder temperatures have on hair and skin are relevant to the environment. Colder temperatures contract the cuticle of the hair and close the pores of the skin.

We notice before a hot bath our nails are less pliable and after a hot bath they become much softer. Hair and nails are made of a protein called keratin.

Not only does temperature soften and harden nails but also the hair structure. A cool rinse can provide a shinier and more resistant hair strand.

Does the temperature of water have a significant effect on the growth of hair and how long you keep it before going bald?

The temperature of water you choose to use on your hair can result in different outcomes, but not to the degree of affecting hair growth, or how long you will or won't keep it.Using slightly hot water may be beneficial if your hair and scalp is particularly oily, or gets especially dirty during the day. Some experts believe an excess build-up of oil on the scalp clogs the pores and can have a significant effect on hair growth. Because sebum (oil) contains DHT, which is linked to hair loss, it's good to keep the scalp clean and free of oil buildup.Just as a sauna opens the pores of your skin, slightly hot water opens the pores on the scalp, allowing oil, dirt and debris to be easily washed away. Every hair follicle has its own oil producing gland that keeps hair lubricated, strong and healthy, however, using water that's too hot can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry and prone to breakage. Warm water is usually effective and by and large the best temperature for cleansing the scalp and hair.Using cool water as a final rinse, after shampooing and conditioning, is a good way to lock moisture in the hair. The cool water closes the cuticle (top) layer of the hair, sealing in the moisture from the conditioner, and strengthening the hair, leaving it shiny and healthy.Regardless of water temperature you would be wise to gently massage your entire scalp every time you shampoo. A massage stimulates your hair follicles and increase blood flow, thus waking up sleepy cells and encouraging healthier abundant hair production.

Can damage to the scalp result in hair loss?

Yes. The scalp is the base of your hair. You have a dry scalp your hair won't be very healthy. Let's say this, if you have a plant and the dirt is dry. The plant won't be able to get what it needs... water. If the plant is over watered the plant will still be sick. That's like some of us who have oily hair. The dirt is to the plant like our scalps are to our hair. Bad scalp equals bad hair.
