Go easy.

1. Have a hot shower like normal, lather, then rinse with cold water for 30 seconds.

Do this for 3 or 4 consecutive days, when you are not washing your hair.

2. When you’re ready for the next step, start with a cold shower and EASE INTO IT, to begin. Turn the water on to as cold as you can reasonably tolerate. It should be uncomfortable but not unsafe. Stand in the shower, it directly under the stream and bring water to your arms and legs with cupped hands. Next, splash water onto your face, then chest.

Now, you’re ready to go under… remember to breathe!

Stand under the stream for 1 minute, letting the water hit your head, face, shoulders and back.

After this is done, you can turn the hot water on if you need to do your hair.
