That symptom you get is that like the "brain freeze" you get when eating cold ice-cream to fast

I have heard that prolonged exposure of the head to really cold water is not a good idea. (Lots of heat loss through the head, so maybe thats why?)

When the water gets colder (in the Winter) I do it just enough to wash and rinse my hair - no more.
