You could get out of the (warm) shower and follow up with a cold water rinse of just your hair while leaning your head over the sink or the side of the tub or something. I envision the use of a large plastic cup of some kind. It would still be mighty shocking to your head, but at least your whole body wouldn't suffer.
Note that I say "you." I couldn't. Not without making more of a mess than it's worth to me. Although...how *much* less frizzy?
Now I'm thinking about my little, old grandparents, now in their eighties, who have spent the last forty years tipping themselves over the side of the large utility sink in the basement laundry area and ducking their heads under the spicket to wash their hair. (They have never installed a shower in their bathroom and prefer that sink over the bathtub when it comes to the washing of hair.) The one time I washed my hair at their house while staying with them as an adult, I had to hoist myself up and hang from my midsection on the edge of the (very sturdy) sink in order to get my head down under that faucet. I came up the stairs exclaiming to my grandmother about the experience, only to be met with a, "well, yes, that's pretty much what I do." Greatest Generation, man...they could totally take us in an even fight. ::ponders Caveman vs. Astronaut::
