Rice Water for hair growth

[parulltrivedii]

It is my first day today using rice water on my hair after watching a large number of YT videos on how it stimulates hair growth. Just wanted second opinions. Anyone who have tried rice water and witnesses good results?

There is a thread HERE (https://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=134907&highlight=fermented+rice+water)that you may be interested in. :)

I don't know about hair growth yet, but after every wash, I spray FRW on my scalp & hair, massage it in thoroughly, then put condition over it, detangle and put hair up for the rest of my shower and rinse at the end. It works like a gentle daily dose of protein for me, makes hair feel stronger.

Going to have to try this! Always looking for new ideas to keep the hair happy.

I've been using rice water on and off for a while, and I really love it. I actually am starting back up using it again tonight in my next wash. I rinse my hair with it after conditioning, and try to soak my ends in a cup of it for a couple of mins. It makes my hair softer and shinier.

I've heard it's a protein thing, in which case COUNT ME OUT!!! :tmi: My hair absolutely hates protein.

I've been doing a fermented rice water rinse (after shampoo, before conditioning) for a few months now and although I haven't noticed an increase in my growth rate, my hair loves it! I only use it a couple of times of month because I think it would be too drying for my hair to use it more often. It seems to mimic a clarifying shampoo which makes my hair shiny but a little dry and why I have to follow up with conditioner.

Maybe (probably) this is a dumb question but how do you know if your hair hates/loves protein?
