I have been using rice water for about 2 months now and loving the results I am seeing. My hair feels thicker and stronger. I do not boil my rice. I just put it in a bowl of water and leave it sit overnight until I get around to washing my hair the next day. I strain the rice out and take the rice water bowl and another bowl with me and after I shampoo, rinse with the rice water over my hair until I feel like it is super saturated. I then plastic cap my hair and let it sit for a bit. I then condition and rinse my hair.
I prefer enriched white rice for my water. I have tried brown, but really didn't feel any results after using it. (Usually my hair feels thicker and is super smooth and shiny). The water didn't get as milky as it does with the enriched white rice either. This is my new favorite treatment
I was so excited when I saw this thread! I have used rice water in the past and it adds elasticity and shine to my hair. I drifted away from using it when I started working, id just forget to make it and went back to shampoo only. I think I will start making it and using it again My hair was sooo lush then.
I tried rice water again today and no whitening/lightening this time, yay! I did not let it ferment cause my brother cannot stand the smell of it, so I only let it sit for half an hour. I'm gonna find the edge where it almost smells but not yet, but on the other hand it is not completely neccesary cause it still made my hair soft
made some fermented rice water by letting it stand two nights and then boiling the strained water and sticking it in the fridge to put the microbes bed
used it last night on wash night. did a clarifying wash, rice water soak for a while, then rinse and a bit of conditioner leave in, then rinse.
Hasn’t fully dried yet, but I’m excited to see the results lol. It’s fun to experiment
Hi, the fermented rice water is more effected for hair growth than plain rice water. But both do help with growth.
Do you use the rice water on the scalp as well as lengths? What are the results from that ? I have been afraid to use it on my scalp but I have seen good results using it on my lengths and ends.
LOL my fiance complains about the odor too, I am considering finding something to combine with it.
