Love the cold rinse and have been doing it after every wash for years now, total game changer! 💯 One thing I hope people understand now with this video is that the cold rinse is only AFTER you have throughly rinsed out all soap/conditioner with warm/hot water first. Great video Dan!! 👊🤘

The cold rinse was a game changer for me. I've been doing it since I first heard you mention it. Thanks Dan!

[@DanCBearded]

Loveee to hear that!

[@yobabybubba]

Another great video, thanks Dan. I started practicing the Mim Hof Method over 8 years ago. I gave up on the breathing part about 2 and a 1/2 years ago. But I continued to take ice cold showers every day. Once in a while I take a completely ice Cold shower, but that's pretty rare these days. Usually I do like you Said. I take a normal, warm to hot shower and then end with about two minutes of ice cold shower. I did it for mental health reasons, which has Helped me with depression and anxiety immensely. I have minimal anxiety and zero depression. And I have also gone into ice lakes in Canada when I visited. Not jumping in and out but staying in for about four minutes. Love the challenge. Have a great day Dan.

[@DanCBearded]

That is awesome to hear how it helped you!

[@Phil_Picklez]

Funny you should post a new video about the cold rinse. The thing I told you about with my weird after-shower issue and my beard not styling right and feeling a bit dry after my shower has been flipped back around since swapping back to the cold rinse!

I always do a cold rinse now after I seen your video last year but I only been doing it on my head an face it’s been a game changer for me. So now I’m going to try the hole body as well. Thanks for all the research you do for the community I appreciate it you are the man thanks again

[@DanCBearded]

Thats phenomenal to hear!

[@James_Prescott]

Great information Dan! I started doing the cold rinse last year after hearing your take on it. As you mentioned, it's a challenge when you first start doing it, but now it's just part of my normal routine. I was worried about being able to keep it up when the winter hit the Midwest, but it wasn't any more difficult than normal, despite my initial trepidation. In addition to the things you mentioned, I find it's a great way to wake up if you are showering first thing in the morning. It's probably a bit of a mental trick for my brain, but I enjoy being able to start the day with something "challenging". It gives me a small sense of accomplishment when I push through the full body cold rinse, because it would be easy not to. I'd recommend everyone at least try it for a week. You may find yourself surprised like I did, and then it's just your new normal. As always, great job Dan! Thank you!

[@DanCBearded]

Loveee the challenge or task accomplished start of the day!

Agreed fully. Morning is a nice wakeup

[@gbearded6223]

Good morning Dan. In Phoenix, Arizona, we bathe on the coldest setting. The water comes out hot. In other words, we do not have the option of a cold rinse. However, in the winter time, yes, I do the cold rinse and I do see the benefit. What do you recommend for the summertime?

Oh man, that is tough. Possibly a glass of ice water just outside of the shower waiting for you at the end?

@@DanCBearded I like the idea. Thanks for that.

Question Dan, if I have low porosity hair would the cold rinse seal the cuticle and keep my products, oil butter, from penitrating the hair? I heard someone say that and wanted to know your thoughts. Awesome video as always bro

[@DanCBearded]

Nope! Does not impact the beard like that

[@GreySquirrelly1016]

I daily shower with warm water, wash my beard in the shower with water, and a shampoo brush. I am in week 2 of no products at all. It’s just a trial run. I want to try it for a month, loving the volume gained so far, not dry, weirdly enough, my beard feels as soft as if I had beard oil in it. You mentioned in one of your videos that the Sebum oil can only go so far down the hairs, and that a beard is not usually meant to be super long which is why if oil is not used it can make your hair dry. Now, obviously this is person dependant, but if a person kept their beard the maximum length that the sebum oil could naturally moisturize the skin as it’s suppose to, then in theory a person wouldn’t need beard oil? I was going to mention have you ever done a ‘absolutely no product for one month’ challenge? I guarantee if you use a shampoo brush and warm water on your beard daily, you will notice how nice it feels, of course yours is really long so not sure. Maybe give it a shot in a video 👍 keep it up man! Great info!

[@DanCBearded]

Ohhh very much no for me. I have naturally very dry skin and it literally becomes painful. No products even for a day is not an option for me.

[@Bada_Boom78]

Dan, it also sounds like if the hot/warm water is loosening/straightening your hair, then use the cold right afterward, that it would *lock* in that straighter look better than if it slowly got cooler again after getting out and bounced back. Does that sound right? My beard is very wavy and any way to assist in straightening is helpful.

[@DanCBearded]

Yeah, very logical!

If you do this, be careful... You can cause the body to go into shock or shut down with sudden and extreme temperature changes.... Passing out in the shower can be dangerous... Speaking from experience

[@DanCBearded]

Passing out from a cold rinse!? Whoa, never heard of such a thing. In most cases I would think there was an underlying cause there that should be looked into. I would assume the passing out in most cases like that is from heavy breathing? The temperature change in this situation should not be extreme enough for most to worry about though. I go from a cold plunge to a hot tub (and vice versa) at least 5 times a week. That’s going from 40° to 104°

[@uniquefreak13]

@@DanCBearded it was extreme temperature change Dan, I was training/working in a gym at the time... After a session I went n in the sauna n steam rooms... Got a cold rinse after I came out n that was when it happened.... It's not exactly the same situation but it's something most people overlook when doing this type of thing...
