Also, does finishing with cold water in the shower actually make hair look better? November 4, 2016 at 1:38 pm #96586 rungrace01Member I’ve read that the cool setting seals the cuticle. For me, after drying on warm, cooling my hair seems to keep it in place better, especially bangs.

Cuticle lifting is caused by a combination of physical damage and loss of the “glue” that holds the cuticle down. That can’t be reversed by lower temperature.
