I'm a 27 year old male with male patterned baldness. I have been on Finasteride, Minoxidil, Ketoconazole & Biotin for about 3 years with good results. Recently, I've adopted a rigorous workout regimen. I hear that a cold water shower after such a workout is beneficial to muscle recovery. Obviously, it is winter so the water is very cold right now. I was wondering, if such cold water adversely affects scalp hair in any way? Is it safe to continue taking cold showers without affecting hair loss?
