Does anyone know the truth whether or not you need to rinse with cold water to get hair shiny? Some hair websites say to rinse that way while others say it`s just a myth. I`ve personally tried rinsing with cold water in the past, and besides freezing, I really didn`t see that much of a difference.

Well, of course, everybody is different, but I can tell you that the people that I know who do it, say it makes a big difference in their hair.
Personally, I subscribe to the theory you should always wash your hair with tepid water - meaning warm and comfortable. And after, thoroughly rinse out the shampoo and conditioner. The final rinse should be done with colder water. This seals the porous cuticles in your hair strands and makes your hair shinier. Be careful not to use a harsh shampoo with too much detergent. This could lead to dry hair. Also, if your hair is long, use conditioner, working it from the ends to the middle of your hair strands, but go no further. Rinse that out thoroughly, and before towel drying, comb it through starting at the ends and working up toward the scalp. Then towel dry your hair, and repeat combing it through - to detangle again.
Here is a web site with very good hair tips from a person that trained with George Michael (a long hair specialist that works with Crystal Gayle):
