I personally prefer the feet first because it is easier to dip just the feet and also because of the whole gradual change instead of fluctuation. | |

The moment you stop pouring, your body will try to heat itself and it makes you feel colder than before... unless you're ready for it (for soap & shampoo). Also, wrap your body with towel quickly after finishing for the aforementioned reason, and try not to catch a cold! :) | |
