    I voted yes, but really I do either an ACV or a cold water rinse. I used to do just cold water and that worked fine, but I then found that I got similar results with the ACV. So now I do ACV and save myself the cold. But if I'm traveling, I don't lug ACV around and so do cold water rinses instead.

    Add me to the cheese category because I'd rather rub cheese on my head that have to deal with icy water!!! Brrrrrr!!!! I hate being cold!

    I do it pretty regularly and it makes it shinier, I think.

    I do a cold water rinse every time. It makes my hair a LOT shinier and softer. How cold the rinse is sort of varies based on what I can tolerate that day.

    I do a cold water rinse every time, but I voted 'not sure' because I started doing it at the same time I took up CWC, so I don't know what it is that makes my hair shiny

    That's one fine avatar, Elizabeth!

    Cold water is to ffffffffrigid for me. Cool is too frrrrrrigid for me. I do the miniumum I can stand. And I usually forget.

    I do a cold rinse *almost* every wash. My body hates it (so cold!) but my hair loves it, so I suck it up and deal with it.

    I always rinse with cool (not cold) water because it feels so nice! It sooths my irritated-from-shaving skin and makes my scalp feel so fresh. I have very shiny hair naturally, so I don't really know if it adds to it or not...
