If you have colored hair, you should know that warm or hot water fades your color faster.
When you shower in cold water, the cuticle stays closed (viaSELF).
Furthermore, when your cuticle layer stays closed, strands lay more smoothly making your mane shine brighter.

By stiffening up the cuticle, cooler temperatures ensure that follicles become more manageable.
Bottom line: Stick with cooler water if you have color-treated hair and when conditioning at the very least.
Your vivid color and enhanced softness will be worth it!
