Hot shower good or bad for hair: As soon as winter arrives, people get their geysers repaired. Those who do not have geysers in their homes use Emerson rods. There is hardly anyone who does not use hot water in the harsh winter, especially in cities. But the question is whether bathing in hot water is good for our hair and skin. Or does it harm the hair or the skin? When the New York Times asked Dr. Victoria Barbosa, Associate Professor at the University of Chicago, about this, she revealed many secrets.

Sebum will be removed from the hair.
Dr. Victoria Barbara said that we get benefits by bathing with hot water, it activates our relaxed nerves and also increases blood circulation but it is not good for our skin at all, especially if you bathe with hot water daily, then it can cause a lot of damage to the skin. Along with this, it can cause a lot of damage to the hair. It has been found in many researches that if bathing with hot water daily, then the layer of oil on the skin and hair starts getting removed, due to which the skin and hair start becoming dry and lifeless. Due to excessive dryness, hair also starts falling. Due to bathing with very hot water, the natural sebum in the hair will be removed and due to this, the hair will start becoming very dry. Sebum is a type of fat, which protects the hair.

What to do after bathing?
Dermatologist Dr. Emily Mackenzie says that some people think that bathing with hot water removes fatigue and it gives a lot of relief to the body, but keep in mind that if you bathe with hot water, the oil will come out of your skin and hair. The more hot water you bathe with, the more oil will come out of your skin and hair. Therefore, no matter how cold it is, try to bathe with lukewarm water. She also said that if you bathe with lukewarm water, then do not use a very hard soap for this, especially the one that contains more glycerin. Use a soft soap that moisturizes the skin. Whenever you bathe, use moisturizer or lotion immediately after that. By doing this, the skin will not be damaged and the layer between the skin and the outside world will not break.
