Ingredients: -1 cup of white/sticky rice -4 cups of water -Pomelo/Grapefruit peel (One full fruit) Preparation: -Rinse the rice to clean it of dirt, dust, etc. This step is optional, but recommended. -Wash the rice. This is different from rinsing. Put the rice in a bowl of water and rub/scrub it between your hands like your are washing your hands thoroughly. (Don’t add soap or anything like that.) -Discard the rice (or keep it and cook it if you like. I know that some people did that, so it should be okay), but keep the remaining water. -Boil the water w/ pomelo peels (Pomelo isn’t common in the some places, so grapefruit is the next best thing. If that isn’t available, you can try orange peels or another acidic fruit’s peel, although she doesn’t say so in the video, I imagine it would be okay) and a few drops of herbal oil/essential oil (She used Lavender). Use all of the peel from the whole fruit. Boil for about 10-15 minutes. Once boiled, store it in a jar with the lid closed for at least 1 week. A closet would be a good place to keep it for the time being. Application: -Flip your head upside down over a bucket and rinse the water through your hair (Refer to 9:13 because I don’t think I explained as well as a visual could). Give your scalp a nice massage while rinsing for best results. -Leave it in for 20-30 minutes. The more sensitive your hair to protein, the shorter you should leave it in for. -Rinse everything out of your hair with clean water, your head upside down like before. (Again, refer to 10:12) -Pat/Blot your hair clean with a soft towel. The Yao women say they do this every 2-3 days, but because your hair is not going to be used to this method, doing this every 2-3 days may damage it. Use this method sparingly, maybe once or twice a month. Feel free to screenshot if you need to :D
Glad you mentioned that. The Yao women don’t wash their hair before using it, so the person in the video didn’t either. Some people do though, so I think that’s just mostly a preference
plain white rice, wash rice, boil with water, grapefurit peel boil it (10 to 15 mins), ferment 1 week wash your hair every 3 days, leave it for 20 and 30 mins
soooo I use black rice...but this is kinda how I do it. I pour boiling water over rinsed rice and let it sit until cool...then I add sweet orange oil or a citrus peel....let it sit out 3-5 days...then put in the fridge. I have VERY high porosity hair so I do use it once a month....has done WONDERS for my hair. I also spray on my scalp with tea tree oil when I have braids and it really helps to keep my scalp clean.
Please, go to the end of the video and you will see that she do not recommend doing it every 3 days for various reasons (but if it works for you I don’t see why not). She said she suggests using it again after one month.
@@idkok206 the very first ricewater video I saw years ago suggested doing it only once a month. This is the first time I heard about the fruit peels though! I wonder how lemon or essential oils would work as a substitute.
As an Asian, this made me realize all of the rice water I left to waste🧍🏻♀️ Also many things contribute to these women’s hair care. Such as the climate, the water they use, the rice they grow, the oils, their diet, and of course- genetics.
As asian woman I only know that my orchids and roses have more flowers and so healthy after watering them with water we used to wash the rice. 🌷⚘🌹💐Never thought it would be good on the hair too. I'll definitely try this!
Don't forget... They probably eat a ton of fish which also adds to their healthy hair. Plus, they don't hot iron, blow dry or color their hair everyday.
it still works wonders. my dumb self cut my fringe a year ago used rice water it grew out super quickly and was very shiny. stopped using it for some time though because i was too lazy to do it
@@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwyxz102 ... So, it does work?! Don't you hate when you think your hair will look cuter a certain way, then you cut it... And, it looks nothing like you imagined!!😂😂!! I've done that!
My dad was making rice for dinner last night, and I asked him to keep the rice water, he asked why, of course and I told him it was for my hair, and he said, and I quote, “I know you like rice but you don’t need to drink the extra water as a midnight snack.” I couldn’t stop laughing after that. 😂
I'm brazilian so hopefully my ancestors mixed with some indigenous people here who are descendant of asians, MAYBE my hair has some of the yao properties I hope...
I just did this, legit followed her recipe! I let it sit for a month and when I opened it, the smell was quite lovely! It smelt like grapefruit! I have kinky 4c Hair and the rice water went through my hair like butter. I will definitely be doing this montly!
@@Gretetoevali I stored it in a mason jar and just put it on a shelf in my kitchen cabinet. I honestly forgot about it, I stored it in the back/dark area and let it ferment for 3+ weeks.
after u finished rinsing your hair out with the rice water ? On the days we don’t wash our hair with the rice water , do we do our regular routines with like shampoo and conditioner?
@@serenitysok1221 YES. Whatever your routine is, do that when you're not using the RW. I also washed my hair AFTER rinsing out the RW but everyone is different. It's a combo of using the RW and balancing it with your own routine. I have friends who let it ferment for a day and use RW weekly, it depends on your texture, etc. Best of luck Boo!
@Lucyfur ew food waste... it's that cheap bc it's harvested through exploitative labour, and then you're just throwing it away like it's nothing. Rotten attitude.
Lucyfur children in Yemen would die for that rice being wasted, poor children in North Korea view rice as a privilege and never get to have it, children in third world countries favorite meal is rice and to wastefully throw away something like that is completely sad
This is our Meitei's ancient method 🥰 we called it "Chinghi"😊 we can add lemon peel, pineapple peel , and some plants which is good for hair 🥰Love from Manipur 💗💗
For anyone who’s curious: pomelos are like big grapefruits and they taste very good. They’re difficult to peel, but it’s worth it cause the inside is super sweet and sour. They come in a bright pink colour or white colour, with a white/yellow/green exterior. The fruits are usually found in Asian markets and pretty common.
Where I’m at in the USA (NC), I’ve not seen a pink grapefruit in YEARS- like 5 years- in any local grocery stores. Guess it’s health benefits are too great for us to have access 🙄🙄🙄
Victoria Grass if u want to find another youtuber like this there’s a channel named “manes by mell” and she also goes in depth about different hair types and the sciences behind our hair
Finally, someone that explain it WELL! All the videos on TH-cam do the wrong steps... We needs to boil the water before to put it to ferment! !! Thank you!😀
I am a cosmetologist, hair grows from the scalp! If this is going to work, it's because you place it on your scalp! The oil in the citrus will close the hair cuticles so that it lays flat. This will elongate the hair shaft making it appear longer. The average hair grows 1/2 inch per month. Should you see more growth than that, then what you are doing is working. I hope this helps. P.S. It doesn't matter what type of hair you have, any extra attention you five to your hair (extra brushing) will increase its growth.
@Jen_Jen B she was just giving an example of extra attention you should give your hair. Extra attention might mean more moisturization or simply leaving your hair alone. It does not necessarily mean you have to brush your hair.
My hair is nearly knee-length and very thick. I keep cutting it...2 winters ago I cut off almost 2 feet...but now I'm just letting it grow. My favorite trick for hair growth is the inversion method which gets blood to the scalp, plus it feels good to hang from the waist and releases tension. In about a year, it'll be down to my knees as it grows 3/4 inch each month.
Jen_Jen B 🤣 you can brush and shampoo any hair everyday. I am writing this as an African American Cosmetologist. They do not teach white or black hair in Cosmetology school. However, hair theory is taught based on HAIR not ethnicities, racial makeup, prejudice or racial bias or blah, blah. There is no such thing as African American hair. Yet, there is curly and overly curly hair textures which is not race specific even if it is more commonly recognized with AA’s. So, she did not write or imply anything wrong. I am 100% African American and I shampoo and brush my hair DAILY. My hair has been 30 inches and 100% natural at it’s maximum length and no special remedies were used to grow it.
@@zabzahh *thank you! So tired of hearing the lie black ppl been regurgitating, saying we CAN'T shampoo our hair daily! I shampooed and conditioned my (super kinky, non-mixed) hair DAILY (til it got too long). I've NEVER hadda problem. Healthy hair/healthy scalp, never had dandruff or dry hair/scalp, no split ends, hair always smell great and grows like wildfire!*
I decided YESTERDAY I’d finally try this but couldn’t find a vlog that seemed to be correct UNTIL this just pos up !!! HOW AMAZING!!! And I’ll tell you I’m pretty impressed with your research and you made it interesting ( research is basically boring ) !!! So I’ll say this in my best British accent “ Brilliant and well bloody done !”
I've been fermenting my rice with the water. I actually did a treatment just yesterday, but I do not use it as a wash so much as a treatment before a shampoo. I can honestly say it's improved the health of my hair over the last several years, as well as my new growth coming in darker than my previously silver hair. This method you describe makes more sense and I will be doing this method on my next treatment. Thank you for taking the time to research and share this!! Love and Light!
I’ve been using fermented rice water based on this recipe. I discovered that I could use my vita mix instead of massaging the rice. It makes the rice water really milky and thick. I make 5 quarts and use one a week. So the last quart is fermented for 5-6 weeks. My hair is growing like crazy and is amazingly shiny!
@@LaLabutterfly the youtuber said grapefruit and lavender essential oils. Just get a giant grapefruit, if the smell is strong next time get more peel. You can also add peppermint oil to it as well. that is very stimulating for your scalp and is also quite a strong scent in general.
I watched the Yao ladies explaining some things about their recipe. They use an expensive Chinese herb called He Shou Wu, mulberry roots (at least 5 years old), ginger, dried pomelo skin and tea seed cakes( which acts as a surfactant). The process they make their hair rinse is long and complicated as they also steam the He Shou Wu with black beans and sesame skin to ripen the herb and allow it to have its therapeutic effects. They then soak the He Shou Wu with the rice water. He shou Wu is a Chinese herb known to prevent gray hairs and hair loss. They boil the rice water to bring the nutrients of the herb as Chinese medicine u boil stuff to get therapeutic effects.
@Vixen Kitsune it is in Chinese. So there is no English subtitle. I was watching a popular Chinese show and they had the Yao ladies explaining a bit more about how they make their own shampoo. So the ladies will climb up in the mountain to find the herb He Shou Wu. They call it Pang Shou Wu, to name it after the surname of their tribe but if u go to a Chinese medicine shop, the herbalists call it He Shou Wu. U can google it. He Shou Wu is known as a Chinese herb to help with hair growth, prevents graying and hair loss. But it is expensive. To get the maximum effect, u steam it with Black Beans and Black Seaseme.They also use mulberry roots. But u can use mulberry leaves as the infamous Empress Dowger Cixi shampoo was mulberry leaves boiled and then strained to make a rinse. Mulberry also has benefits for the hair. They use dry pomelo skin not raw skin. U see in Chinese culture, we dry the citrus fruits skin to make soups as it is meant to be healthy. So if u eat a pomelo, just keep the skin and dry it. Rice water acts more of a conditioner. Tea seed cake is what cleans the hair. So I have no idea how to get this in the West. U might need to get from a Chinese herbal shop. Ginger is meant to stimulate hair growth. So the videos u go are limited coz of language barriers.
@Vixen Kitsune If u want the link this is the video of a popular Chinese tv show. U will need a Chinese friend to translate for u. This video is the video the Yao Ladies explaining more of their secret than any other videos I have seen. So many of the DIY videos out there are not doing it properly in terms of trying to replicate the Yao ladies formula. The whole point of boiling the Chinese herbs and rice water is to bring out the therapeutic effect of Chinese herb especially He Shou Wu and Mulberry roots. th-cam.com/video/OTcfvyYYQgE/w-d-xo.html
I've been using the Rice Water treatment for a year now, and my hair has grown very fast and is also a lot thicker too! Thank you so much for this video, as I had been watching many different ones and found this one to be the best. I leave it on my hair, wrapped in a plastic bag then towel for about 2 hours, then I wash and condition my hair like usual. I finish with an Apple Cider Vinegar rinse: 1/4 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with 2 Cups Distilled water + some grapefruit essential oil drops. Do not rinse out the Apple Cider Vinegar! Just ring hair out and dry naturally...the Vinegar smell will go away when hair is dry.
I cooked it as well, I can't believe so many people say to discard it. It's as if someone said to throw away the fruit after peeling it🤷♀️ Don't waste food!
I did the whole thing. By the way my hair is Gray, bleached and colored....so Kept it for 5 days not a week fermenting. Kept it on my hair for 20 minutes and then rinsed. It was not easy to detangle my hair is a little longer. But this smells great and my scalp feels really good! We'll see how it goes from here! Oh, and I ate the rice and the grapefruit!
I've been doing this every other week now so I've done it twice and I just made my third batch for next weekend and in between I'm using an off brand olaplex shampoo and conditioner. so far so good!
The reason I trust you and no other youtubers is because you do such thorough research and put so much time into your videos! Love you, keep doing this hair series!
I've followed other TH-camr's method and my hair grew so much and is very very soft so to each their own, I personally wouldn't boil it it takes out minerals and the acid from the grape fruit isn't good for your hair, especially with different types of hair
I’ve been rinsing the rice thoroughly, adding bottled water and storing it in a jar for 2 to 3 days!!! I apply it as a leave in with a spray bottle and it works wonders! Thanks for your way but I’m doing just fine with my way 🙌🏼
An Asian man interviewed the elderly family and the yao lady showed and explained the process. She showed first wash the rice 3 times and the last wash leave in tight container for a week to ferment and at the same time store your pomelo peels(grapefruit or what ever acidic peels you have)also. After a week it should smell sour. Then she boiled the sour smelling water and added the peels. She also told him this part I'm about to say is very important. She goes up the hill and gather the tea tree seeds that makes tea tree seed oil for the regular people to cook with , but the ladies who grow their hair take the use tea residue which turns chalky and crumble in the water. She said that's a very important step then the ladies on the video went to the back porch and soaked whole head with the water. The video was under calberklay you tube channel and was 3:07 mins. My point is when you did your research did you also find that part about the tea tree seeds.
So I just want to clarify you're supposed to ferment the washed rice water and store the citrus peels somewhere else and then after the fermentation is complete you boil the rice water along with the citrus peels?
@@In.this.economy yes. Correct. That's exactly what this yao family did in the video. When she let the interviewer smell it it smelt sour because of fermentation. Then boiled with peelings. Lastly she said the secret was the residue from the used tea tree seeds.
It only smells bad after leaving it for several days if you skip the grapefruit peels and tea leaf/seed /essential oils. I tried it with just rice and it was unbelievably foul after a week, but I retried it with the full recipe you tracked down and it was fine!
My youtube plan call for no ads, but she put it right in the middle of the video. Guess she was offsetting the cost of making her video and maximizing her profit
I really appreciate this video. I especially like that you mention a few times about how genetics, ethnicity and so forth can also play a huge role in the efficacy of rice water treatments. I have a mixed hair type and if I do rice water, it's usually a once a month/ once every other month kind-of-a-thing for me. Just like you said , you don't want to over do it!!!
There is a chinese video from 10 years ago on youtube with english subtitles. In the video, they ferment first for 7 days before boiling it. The boiling gets rid of the sour smell, kill all the bacteria with the extra ingredients, it smells lovely.
I appreciate your effort in research, especially with crediting the Yao women and also sharing that different hair types DOES matter. Seriously, it's frustrating sometimes that western people tend to exploit or appropriate native cultures and practices. The effort you put to talk about it means a lot.
Sure, just western people exploit or appropriate other cultures. Don't start because the WHOLE world has a dark history of exploitation much much worse than using a hair growth secret.
I have tried this and my hair grew a few inches!!! It made me so happy! Currently letting the rice water soak in my hair. I just want to say for me I use the rice water and then the next day use my regular hair products during a big wash day so this is my second time using it. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO IT HAS HELPED ME TONS ❤️
I do this once a month and it's been second time I've done this and my sister already compliment how thick my hair looks.. I am suffering with PCOS since I was 17 (now 23) which one of the side effects is hair loss..my hair became so thin 😭 but then I tried this rice water thing and now my hair turn so soft and grow faster..all those hair that I lost grew back..I use to have men-pattern baldness where I lost a lot of hair around my crown area, now it's no more..it grew back!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL ❤️❤️❤️
I've tried it! When i was applying it on my hair... You know how when you pour water on your hair and it gets tangled sometimes and it aint easy to brush the first time. When I poured the rice water onto my hair and rub it in, it made my hair silky smooth, it was so easy to brush with my fingers. It may feel a bit weird after you rinse it out but the next few days it made my hair feel super soft and smooth. It was fun to touch. Oh! It doesn't stink. It has a very citrusy aroma, like an orange when you open it...even after a few weeks. I tried mine on the third week. Some tips I got from another video plus tweaked it up a bit... I rinsed the rice a few times with tap water i think i rinsed mine 3-5 times before draining and adding 4 cups of purified water then washing and rubbing the rice between my hands. That water was directly poured into a pot and I used a strainer to separate the grains of rice, then set it aside for someone to cook... I actually don't remember what happened to the rice after hahaha. Once in a pot, I put the grapefruit peels and waited for it to boil then set the timer to 7 mins. Then I waited for it to cool down for another 10 mins before pouring it into a jar. You might think it's not enough because some of the water may have evaporated but it was enough for my medium length hair. Hope this was helpful 😁 I know the video was 😍🥰❤ PS: put in a tightly sealed container, if not, fungi my develop
After you shampoo you wash your hair with the rice water and leave it in for 20-30 minutes. When you wash out the rice water, then you condition your hair.
Cruella de Vil Don’t use that on your hair if there is mold. If there is mold, dump it out and try again. Be sure to use a container that seals TIGHTLY SHUT! Fermentation is the most important thing in this process so I recommend a mason jar
I JUST TRIED THIS AFTER VIEWING YOUR VIDEO! It is now 7:19 am finishing. I rinsed with the Rice Water only which was 3 weeks old. OMG, my hair is soft, shiny and not tangled. I was going to shampoo, however, there is NO odor and the scalp is cleaned. I did however use some tea oil and leave in conditioner. OMG, my search has ended. This is by far the very best video 🥰🥰 Thank you for being so thorough.
Thank you for this video... the water was so soft after washing the rice, I to try some on my skin. My face, neck, and arms stayed soft for hours! I have dry skin and it sang as if the sun broke through the clouds! I’ll keep you posted.
Boiling the citrus will degrade the vitamin c and putting the essential into the boiling water will also dissipate the essential oil. Dont allow the citrus to boil then put the essential oils into the water after it has gotten to room temp. I will say that this video is really thorough!!!!! Thanks!
Boiling the rice water in general isn't a good idea especially for different hair types, it takes out ALL of the good qualities to help the hair growth, I don't boil mine nor do I use grapefruit (too much acid), I just do it like everyone else on TH-cam does it (by just letting the rice sit in the water for days or weeks) and my hair is growing fast and is sooo soft (I have thick, 4c hair)
@@WMBWLove yeah but this is the recipe from the Yao women. If you want to do it like them then you boil. If you dont want to then that's on you but it's not how they do it anymore then lol
I've seen lots of videos that says their way us right and everyone else is wrong. Your video is one that I've found to be the most accurate. Bravo. My people believe that long hair represents strength, health and freedom.
Hi. My daughter hair was down the middle of her back. I cut it all off around maybe 3in due to scatter heat damage in March of 2019. I put rice in jar with water. Sometimes I wash rice sometimes i dont, let it sit for 24 hours. I wash her hair with sulfate shampoo follow up with rinse out conditioner. Spray rice water all over hair with putting deep conditioner on top. Let process for 45min-1hr. Rinse out. Moisture and seal with Greece and water. I try to keep her in protective styles.so I use rice water and deep conditioning treatment almost every wash day. Her hair has grown back tremendously healthy and doesn't shed a lot after taking down 4-6wk old braids. Her hair is back down the middle of her back .
@@kuhki2724 sulfates are actually necessary if your hair needs clarifying from product build up. With rice water, the protein content is very high so it's likely the the sulfates are what is keeping this persons hair from protein overload. Everyone's hair needs are different so sulfates may be very bad for your hair, but necessary for others.
*you're so blessed💙. Pomelos are delicious and have many health benefits, that's probably why they specifically use pomelo's super thick peel and not grapefruit or orange etc...*
Christina Ngabekome maybe because her hair is VERY different from the lady in the video and not too many black people who make rice water videos pile on facts and info like this. Making it way more helpful.
Why the first two hating? Why does it matter to you that SHE mentioned SHE was black? Bye y'all. Yes! I was feeling this video, though I'm heavy into hair care and rice water methods this NEVER came up in my feed! Glad to know even more behind this simple method
I actually tried it last week and it made my natural 4c hair so soft and moisturized. I put organic white rice into a spray bottle then added a lot of water to maybe 2 tablespoons of rice. I left the mixture in the spray bottle for 1 or two days. I shook the ingredients very often as I waited for it to "ferment". I have never fermented anything, so I had no clue what I was doing. Whatever I did, worked wonderfully, so much so, I can't wait to do it again. However, I will wait and do it next month as to prevent protein overload... I enjoyed your video. I found your info to be very clear, concise, and informative.
@@reecea.419 Boil first then ferment. I've also clean rice, then put it in a secure jar, add water, seal tightly and put it in a dark room for 2 or more days before using.
Excellent! Thank you. I tried it and it turned out fantastic. I have never felt my hair so soft and tangle-free, beautiful and shiny. Less breakage and easy to style. It's almost a week and my hair is still moisturised. Thank you for providing us with the correct info. Well done!
This is a great video. I can say as a Rice water user for months on my relaxed hair, my hair wonderful results. I do just like other videos do. I wash my rice, add with water and an orange peel to the jar and I seal the jar. Sometimes I use in 24 hours but most times I forget and leave it as long as a week. The fermentation totally happens and you can tell by the bubbles that happen you can see it fizzing in the Mason jar. I imagine that it doesn't really matter if you do it the "proper" way or the popular ways. My hair is softer, longer, less shedding, its even shinier. Because my hair is relaxed i can use this once a week but I usually moisture condition during or after.
do you put the rice water in before you wash your hair and let it sit or do you use it after you have shampooed your hair and put in your conditioner? i want to try it but i just don't know where in my wash day routine is best to use it
I've been using the 24 hour method (and currently have a jar on the counter I'm experimenting with for a longer ferment) for a while, but I also add white distilled vinegar up to about 25% of the total mixture and I use this as an after shampoo rinse, leaving for a minute or two while I'm washing everywhere else in the shower, then I rinse it out. The vinegar is good to restore the acid mantle and is fantastic for preventing split ends. I also add a little food-grade rose water for a nice smell, just a splash in a quart jar. I've been working training my scalp to produce less oil by extending the time between washes, only recently switching to 1x per week. This has helped me get past a hair plateau. At this point, I'm at tailbone length and I was stuck at waist-length for years with the need to trim a lot due to split ends. Just putting all that out there in case it might be helpful to someone else. Also, the ratio of vinegar to rice water might need to be adjusted depending on hair texture and fullness. Mine is on the fine side, straight, and too much vinegar makes it feel greasy. I might have to try it differently based on this video. I look forward to experimenting.
I've currently got hair just past my elbows which is black and layered on the sides...(think of Amy Lee from Eveanescence, and you'll see the same). I'm trying to get the tip of it to my tailbone. I hope the rice water method will work. Because I've tried everything else including daily doses of Biotin and several vitamins. Thinking of adding a few drops of rosemary oil to it too.
You’re so dedicated to providing us quality content! All the best for this amazing journey you’ve been going through...you’ve worked so hard and your hair reflects your efforts! I love your videos as they’re based on so much research and not just blind preachings✨🤗💫. woah this is the first time I’ve had my comment gain these many likes!😱😊
I just realized what I was doing wrong this entire time and how misinformation has probably caused extra damage to my hair. A lot of people had me believing that just soaking my hair in it and leaving it wouldn't do damage when in reality I've probably been overloading my hair with protein when I do that. I care an immense amount about my hair and I'm really glad I found you.
I have been using this on my beard (unfremented, because I couldn't wait). From the first application it has given greater control over the wavy growth. I added a couple drops of peppermint leaf extract and a bit of coconut oil near the end of the heating process.
I love this recipe so much! I've tried other rice water recipes in the past and it would just make my hair crunchy. This one makes my hair feel so soft and silky 😍
I cried when I saw how amazing it worked on my hair because of the fact that my hair has been suffering but it was so pretty and shiny in such a healthy way but I do though only use it one or two times a month💖
Asmi Dhungel okay them I’m just gonna try to get the ingredients from at home because I wanna stay inside all the time. No one can tell me I didn’t do my thing in this quarantine😂💖
I’ve been using rice water in my hair for almost 2 years and it has grown tremendously. My Chinese friends also use it every night after washing their hair. If too much rice is used, it WILL BREAK your HAIR. We use the rice water straight from the cooking pot to wash our faces which are clear and blemish free. Everyone has a different method but it still gets the job done.. It was an informative video, thanks for sharing. 💕😃
When I did it worked and my hair grew FAST! I use it at least 3 times a week and shampooed out on the 8th day. I did not boil the rice, I let it sit for almost a day. I massaged it in with some oils added. This time i am including peppermint and my blended oils (with them hot) massaged in after the rice water is put in. Tomorrow is my day #1 of the my bi-weekly rice water challenge until my b day in august. I trimmed my hair a little yesteday and sealed in moisture so i am ready. I am doing a hot oil treatment today. I am pampering my hair daily for now on. 😊
You're editing is AWESOME!!! It makes it really fun to watch. I looove the little details 🥰 This video was very informative, I learnt a lot of new stuff. Thank you for giving so much effort :") Love you ❤️❤️
Made this a month ago (14th sept) using lemon as that’s what I had on hand, opened it now and still smells lightly of lemon. No horrible smell at all! Yum. Using it tonight and making a new batch now with grapefruit peel
thank you. i have watched numerous rice water videos. yours is the only one with a complete, concise, step-by-step method of making and using rice water. it is exactly what i was looking for.
Girl, I JUST found out last night that I accidently (being careless) bought 5 lbs of sticky rice! I like it but I don't need THAT much. I was bummed this morning but this video just made this a happy mistake! Thanks for the info! ❤️
Where did you buy the sticky rice at? I've never heard of Sticky Rice before. I tried looking it up and all I could find called sticky rice was either instant or cooked. Is there another name they call it?
@@lindatabler6396 Calrose rice. Thought I was being fancy 😅 obviously not the exact same as theirs but it's much more starchy than the rices I'm used to
I’m not sure if you are going to see this but I used to have the same exact hair type and texture as you and I used the curly girl method, with curly girl approved products for 30 days and it completely changed my hair. The frizz died down and now I’m starting to get ringlets!!!!!
Thanks! Correction though…oil is not the same as seed oil. Essential oil is the aromatic oils of a leaf or flower. And a seed oil is the fats from a seed (like an egg yolk from an egg) so i would say the essential oil is closer to adding alcohol than fat. You CAN get tea seed oil here! Its called camelia oil! Thats what ill add to mine 😊
As asian woman I only know that my orchids and roses have more flowers and so healthy after watering them with water we used to wash the rice. 🌷⚘🌹💐Never thought it would be good on the hair too. I'll definitely try this! Specially I have a bad as in very bad hair falls. I'll let know if it works on my hair or just for orchids and roses alone.😘 Thank you for your great video, definitely informative and helpful based on comments here.👍🏼
Maby people do not understand what's fermentation is. If the water was boiled then everything would that water contain like vitamins minerals and such are already dead. Nothing in that water can go through fermentation process now. Another thing that everybody advices which I think is wrong is to close tightly the container with water and wait for it to ferment. If the container is tightly closed the fermentation process is not going to happen. In order for water to go through the fermentation process it needs access to air, the best thing to do is to cover the container with cheesecloth to prevent debris falling in and wait for 3 to 5 days, deoending on a room temperature, for fermintation proces to happen in a dark space.
i tried it both ways and still got the same amount of growth 😂 so ig either way is fine but thank you for backing it up with sources! we stan an educated queen lol
Guys I used it. But i used orange peels. So, the mixture went a little white from the bottom I thought it went bad. I put it for 3 days only but still. I went to my mother she smelled it and said its okay. I shampoo and conditioner and then used it. After than my hair felt really soft. And smelled AMAZING. Secondly it was very easily comped. Note: If it went white from the bottom dont think it went bad it's just the oranges peel reaction smell it if it smells good it's okay!
I´ve been using rise water for maybe a year now, I use it once every two weeks cause I feel that it is the quantity of protein my hair likes, I have naturally wavy hair, and after I use it my hair is just... so perfect, shiny and soft and more curly. I have to admit I use the regular "leave the water for 24 hrs" but now, I can not wait to use this method. Thank u so much for all the info. :*
@@CWHIPlovinHB I've tried the "new" method once last week and honestly I couldn't see or feel a difference, but I will continue using it for the upcoming months to see if my hair grows a little bit faster, or if there's any change and I'll let you know ;).
I've tried it I left it on for 2hrs and washed it out with a small amount of head and shoulders shampoo and my hair is so soft and thick to the touch I love it thankyou
I used to use rice water to wash my face.. my mom teach me to use it from when I was younger. Some food recipes from my country also used rice water on it as it has a lot of good things! Never thought to use it for hair but it actually makes sense ☺️
This is literally so a crazy! I started watching videos yesterday on rice water (all of them were pretty old) and decided to pick up some rice after work to make my own. & now here you are with your video!
Thank you for taking time & researching fully the correct way to do the " Rice method " it certainly helps . Your so considerate of others & you've saved us the avoidance of a hair fail . Thank you Isabella ❤️💞❤️ . Girl I'm right back on this channel when there's other products that say they work wonders for your skin etc , has I'll know you will be giving 100% honest advice & your honest feedback . The best thing is you even show us the correct way by demonstrating the tried method so we can see the results too 💞😁💞 . Isabella you have your fans right here keep up the brilliant research your a true star XXX
The best recipe for rice water, it transformed my hair, it made my hair thick enough that my skin stopped showing. I am so happy. Thank you so much. 🥰🥰🥰
*I knew a girl in 2nd grade who had a full head of wavy gray hair!* *While some is genetic, a lot is also come with stress, health issues, etc. I know someone who reversed his gray hair naturally with herbs and eating raw veggie foods. Seen it with my own eyes! It was snow white , then salt n pepper, now just very few strands of gray in a period of 6-8months.*
Yes the protein caused my hair to become too dry and brittle too. Thank you for this making this video and providing the breakdown as to how the Yao Women create the rice water for their hair. 😊
LOVE how you DID THE RESEARCH before putting out content & I really like your editing. You know how to keep it informative & fun. Thanks and keep it up girl!
Rice water and aloe vera have really helped my hair grow healthy.Aloe vera gel has really helped soften and grow my hair and I found an easy way to get the juice off without a blender or the mixing or the lamps, and I made a short how to video on my channel. I can be inconsistent, so making my hair routine easy is really important to me. This was really helpful too.
I’ve been using rice water on my hair for about 4 months now. I wash my hair about every 6 days. I do everything in this video pretty much except I don’t boil the rice and I only have lavender oil in it to mask the smell more than anything. It’s usually left to ferment for about 2 days and then I pour it into my spray bottle and it just lives there for however long until I’ve used it up. It usually lasts about 2 months so about 8 washes for me. The thing is though once I’ve sprayed it all in my hair I then put my conditioner in over it. Deep or normal. Then that sits there for half an hour with a shower cap over it and I rinse it out. I do that because then the protein from the water is balanced out with the moisture from the conditioner. It’s worked well for me. My boyfriend says my hair is really soft all the time so works a treat lol. The reason I started it is to help with hair growth for medical reasons and I’m not sure if it’s working for that although my hair is longer than before but not sure if that’s just natural growth lol but I stick with it now because it’s keeping my hair in good condition.
How many times did use rice water in a week.I am asking you coz I also used rice water for my hair but it made my hair more frizzy.i used it every 4 days later and I keep it in my hair for 30 minutes or 1 hour.....
Gazi Islam I use it once a week since I wash my hair once a week. It may be causing frizz in your hair because your hair already has too much protein. Try using a deep conditioners over it and limit your use to once a week if you’re using it twice. In my opinion an hour is more than enough. 30 minutes left in your hair will do.
Learn about your hair get to know it have a true relationship with it. Remember that most people we watch hair texture is different . You are not around these people they are sharing the tidbits of their day. Do your research because you do not want to come back complaining it did not work for you. Your hair is a journey within yourself and itself no matter what your nationality. Learn to love yourself. 🙏😍
So I follow this exact recipe and I changed two things about the recipe. The first thing I changed was I add a grapefruits and oranges secondly I added ferugreek. I like that basically simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes and then I put them in mason jars I waited till cool down and then make sure I put a tight lid on at the mason jars. I let one jar ferment for about a month and the second jar I let it ferment for actually a few months. After fermenting the rice water, Also I’ll changed the way I use the treatment instead of washing My hair with the treatment, what I did was put it in droppers and at night before I go to bed or when I get up in the morning I will put a few droplets on my scalp and massage in. And because of quarantine my hair is usually in a protective style, so it made it so much easier because basically I didn’t touch my hair for about 3 to 4 months and the only time i did do it is when it needs a good wash. The treatment had a bit of a citrusy kind of sour smell it smell good though, while I was doing the treatment my hair had little to no smell and which I’m happy about. Well that all being said my hair does need the protein because it lacks it, so what I do after I guess the 3-4 months of build up from the treatment and the fact that my hair needs to be washed what I do is I take down my cornrows what I find helps with the build up and a bit of the tangling is oil and water in a spray bottle and a big tooth comb and I just saturate my hair in the water and I just comb out the knots in it does it perfectly every time not a lot of pain it’s easy and I don’t have an issue. Since doing the treatment, I just said it to have hair hair length goals. So when I started back in the summer of 2020, my hair struggled to get to the middle of my back. It would break And was very uneven, so after I gave it a trim and put it in cornrows since doing the treatment from last summer to about winter.. my hair is now officially passed the middle of my back and it continues to grow I just washed it the other day and it’s going really well I gave myself another trim just to get rid of the ends and a start of the process again. And if you guys don’t know my hair is about a 4B/4c type.
Thank you so much for this information! I have 4c hair and have a lot of trouble with the thickness and length of my hair. I’ve kind of given up. I have a couple of questions if you don’t mind me asking. Would you say boiling the water is crucial to the process? Have you tried the method where you just leave the rice and water in a mason jar to ferment overnight instead of boiling? That’s what I see ppl do most often. How did you know that your hair lacks protein? So you don’t rinse your hair with this, you basically just use it a leave-in? For storage, do you leave it in the fridge?
@@nkirukaukaegbu5080 you’re welcome, 1. I don’t think it’s crucial, but I did want to follow the recipe. 2. I have tried the method without boiling and I didn’t really have an issue with it but that being said the smell wasn’t pleasant also I felt the overnight method was more for girls wash their hair every day or every other day which I don’t do. Depending on my protective style, which is usually wigs I don’t wash my hair. 3. I do a trick with glass of water and a strand of my hair. It’s to test your hairs porosity, so if your hair stays at the top it means you have low porosity, if your hair flows in the middle it means you’re pretty much normal but if it floats to the bottom it means it’s high porosity. 4. Correct, So when I get up in the morning or before I go to bed, I usually have a spray bottle or dropper of the rice water and just apply it to my scalp in my hair and just rub it in. I’ve even gone as far as to make a conditioner out of my rice water because that’s what I generally use if I feel like my hair needs a little cleanse before my wash day or wash month essentially. 5. my mixture is always on nightstand so I remember to make sure and put it in my hair every night or every other night or on my dresser. In A concealed container but if I have a mixture that needs to ferment, I leave it in a mason jar that’s completely sealed and let it sit. The longest I’ve left my rice water to ferment was about five months.
![ILLSLICK - KILLSHOT REMIX [FULL VERSION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/RIK8RrqIAzE/mqdefault.jpg)
Ingredients:
-1 cup of white/sticky rice
-4 cups of water
-Pomelo/Grapefruit peel (One full fruit)
Preparation:
-Rinse the rice to clean it of dirt, dust, etc. This step is optional, but recommended.
-Wash the rice. This is different from rinsing. Put the rice in a bowl of water and rub/scrub it between your hands like your are washing your hands thoroughly. (Don’t add soap or anything like that.)
-Discard the rice (or keep it and cook it if you like. I know that some people did that, so it should be okay), but keep the remaining water.
-Boil the water w/ pomelo peels (Pomelo isn’t common in the some places, so grapefruit is the next best thing. If that isn’t available, you can try orange peels or another acidic fruit’s peel, although she doesn’t say so in the video, I imagine it would be okay) and a few drops of herbal oil/essential oil (She used Lavender). Use all of the peel from the whole fruit.
Boil for about 10-15 minutes.
Once boiled, store it in a jar with the lid closed for at least 1 week. A closet would be a good place to keep it for the time being.
Application:
-Flip your head upside down over a bucket and rinse the water through your hair (Refer to 9:13 because I don’t think I explained as well as a visual could). Give your scalp a nice massage while rinsing for best results.
-Leave it in for 20-30 minutes. The more sensitive your hair to protein, the shorter you should leave it in for.
-Rinse everything out of your hair with clean water, your head upside down like before. (Again, refer to 10:12)
-Pat/Blot your hair clean with a soft towel.
The Yao women say they do this every 2-3 days, but because your hair is not going to be used to this method, doing this every 2-3 days may damage it. Use this method sparingly, maybe once or twice a month.
Feel free to screenshot if you need to :D
Wow thank you so much!!
Kylie thank you , thank you !!
But should we use it for already clean hair or ?
Glad you mentioned that. The Yao women don’t wash their hair before using it, so the person in the video didn’t either. Some people do though, so I think that’s just mostly a preference
Should I shampoo after this method?
plain white rice, wash rice, boil with water, grapefurit peel boil it (10 to 15 mins), ferment 1 week
wash your hair every 3 days, leave it for 20 and 30 mins
soooo I use black rice...but this is kinda how I do it. I pour boiling water over rinsed rice and let it sit until cool...then I add sweet orange oil or a citrus peel....let it sit out 3-5 days...then put in the fridge. I have VERY high porosity hair so I do use it once a month....has done WONDERS for my hair. I also spray on my scalp with tea tree oil when I have braids and it really helps to keep my scalp clean.
Thank you. Saved me 12 mins.
Please, go to the end of the video and you will see that she do not recommend doing it every 3 days for various reasons (but if it works for you I don’t see why not). She said she suggests using it again after one month.
Thanks for the comments because ppl use oranges and I can't use them because I'm allergic to them.
@@idkok206 the very first ricewater video I saw years ago suggested doing it only once a month.
This is the first time I heard about the fruit peels though!
I wonder how lemon or essential oils would work as a substitute.
The fact that you actually care about giving us the CORRECT information
Ikr
Now thats a queen
Lily Eichelis does this actually help your hair grow faster?
CRIZ B it can! i haven’t tried it
I used. It with coconut black jamacan oil
As an Asian, this made me realize all of the rice water I left to waste🧍🏻♀️
Also many things contribute to these women’s hair care. Such as the climate, the water they use, the rice they grow, the oils, their diet, and of course- genetics.
Same-
As asian woman I only know that my orchids and roses have more flowers and so healthy after watering them with water we used to wash the rice. 🌷⚘🌹💐Never thought it would be good on the hair too. I'll definitely try this!
Ikr
But don't you have to clean the rice? How can you use the dirty water from cleaning the rice?
Genetics are overridden by environment. This isn't genetic......
Don't forget... They probably eat a ton of fish which also adds to their healthy hair. Plus, they don't hot iron, blow dry or color their hair everyday.
I dont do any of that, but I also haven't eaten fish in a long time.
@@beesabee you could try an omega 3 supplement, but make sure to drink a lot of water if you have acne prone skin it could cause a flare up

My dad was making rice for dinner last night, and I asked him to keep the rice water, he asked why, of course and I told him it was for my hair, and he said, and I quote, “I know you like rice but you don’t need to drink the extra water as a midnight snack.” I couldn’t stop laughing after that. 😂
Lmaoo
You laugh, but there's actually a Mexican beverage made from rice called horchata and it's REALLY good.

Kristinne G nope, but now I wish I had.
I'm brazilian so hopefully my ancestors mixed with some indigenous people here who are descendant of asians, MAYBE my hair has some of the yao properties I hope...
Stop calling white women Karen. Its like calling black people Rochester.
I just did this, legit followed her recipe! I let it sit for a month and when I opened it, the smell was quite lovely! It smelt like grapefruit! I have kinky 4c Hair and the rice water went through my hair like butter. I will definitely be doing this montly!
How did you store it?
@@Gretetoevali I stored it in a mason jar and just put it on a shelf in my kitchen cabinet. I honestly forgot about it, I stored it in the back/dark area and let it ferment for 3+ weeks.
after u finished rinsing your hair out with the rice water ? On the days we don’t wash our hair with the rice water , do we do our regular routines with like shampoo and conditioner?
@@serenitysok1221 YES. Whatever your routine is, do that when you're not using the RW. I also washed my hair AFTER rinsing out the RW but everyone is different. It's a combo of using the RW and balancing it with your own routine. I have friends who let it ferment for a day and use RW weekly, it depends on your texture, etc. Best of luck Boo!
How did it work for you?
I think your hair is looking so much more healthier even when it air dried love ya Isabella!
thank you x
@M Raheem why are you so rude
@M Raheem ???
M Raheem DAMN what’s your deal *dude*
@M Raheem rudeness much -_-
As an Asian it’s surprising me how many people are throwing their rice away and don’t know how to make rice
Lol I was thinking the same thing!
@Lucyfur that mindset is why there's so much food wastage in america.
@Lucyfur ew food waste... it's that cheap bc it's harvested through exploitative labour, and then you're just throwing it away like it's nothing. Rotten attitude.
Lucyfur children in Yemen would die for that rice being wasted, poor children in North Korea view rice as a privilege and never get to have it, children in third world countries favorite meal is rice and to wastefully throw away something like that is completely sad
rice: these are confusing times
This is our Meitei's ancient method 🥰 we called it "Chinghi"😊 we can add lemon peel, pineapple peel , and some plants which is good for hair 🥰Love from Manipur 💗💗
Based
What kind of plants do you add?
For anyone who’s curious: pomelos are like big grapefruits and they taste very good. They’re difficult to peel, but it’s worth it cause the inside is super sweet and sour. They come in a bright pink colour or white colour, with a white/yellow/green exterior. The fruits are usually found in Asian markets and pretty common.
Where I’m at in the USA (NC), I’ve not seen a pink grapefruit in YEARS- like 5 years- in any local grocery stores. Guess it’s health benefits are too great for us to have access 🙄🙄🙄

Finally, someone that explain it WELL! All the videos on TH-cam do the wrong steps... We needs to boil the water before to put it to ferment! !! Thank you!😀
I am a cosmetologist, hair grows from the scalp! If this is going to work, it's because you place it on your scalp! The oil in the citrus will close the hair cuticles so that it lays flat. This will elongate the hair shaft making it appear longer. The average hair grows 1/2 inch per month. Should you see more growth than that, then what you are doing is working. I hope this helps. P.S. It doesn't matter what type of hair you have, any extra attention you five to your hair (extra brushing) will increase its growth.
@Jen_Jen B she was just giving an example of extra attention you should give your hair. Extra attention might mean more moisturization or simply leaving your hair alone. It does not necessarily mean you have to brush your hair.
@Jen_Jen B nobody said to brush your hair everyday love
My hair is nearly knee-length and very thick. I keep cutting it...2 winters ago I cut off almost 2 feet...but now I'm just letting it grow. My favorite trick for hair growth is the inversion method which gets blood to the scalp, plus it feels good to hang from the waist and releases tension. In about a year, it'll be down to my knees as it grows 3/4 inch each month.
Jen_Jen B 🤣 you can brush and shampoo any hair everyday. I am writing this as an African American Cosmetologist. They do not teach white or black hair in Cosmetology school. However, hair theory is taught based on HAIR not ethnicities, racial makeup, prejudice or racial bias or blah, blah. There is no such thing as African American hair. Yet, there is curly and overly curly hair textures which is not race specific even if it is more commonly recognized with AA’s. So, she did not write or imply anything wrong. I am 100% African American and I shampoo and brush my hair DAILY. My hair has been 30 inches and 100% natural at it’s maximum length and no special remedies were used to grow it.
@@zabzahh *thank you! So tired of hearing the lie black ppl been regurgitating, saying we CAN'T shampoo our hair daily!

Healthy hair/healthy scalp, never had dandruff or dry hair/scalp, no split ends, hair always smell great and grows like wildfire!*
It's almost 3 months since I started using it and it perfectly worked : my hair got longer,thicker and more healthier...Girls what are u waiting for!?

it is not correct, read my comment I posted rice water is basically inorganic arsenic water that you are putting on your hair.
@@sifthor so you're saying that yao women are wrong when they basically did that all their lives and have much better hair than us?
I've been fermenting my rice with the water. I actually did a treatment just yesterday, but I do not use it as a wash so much as a treatment before a shampoo. I can honestly say it's improved the health of my hair over the last several years, as well as my new growth coming in darker than my previously silver hair. This method you describe makes more sense and I will be doing this method on my next treatment. Thank you for taking the time to research and share this!!
Love and Light!
Your hair looked really healthy afterwards! I'd use it after shampooing though, to make sure it's clean.
myweakness188 it’s supposed to act as a hair rinse. Almost like a after conditioning treatment
it is not correct, read my comment I posted rice water is basically inorganic arsenic water that you are putting on your hair.
Apparently the hair dries if you shampoo as well. I hope you haven’t tried it.
I’ve been using fermented rice water based on this recipe. I discovered that I could use my vita mix instead of massaging the rice. It makes the rice water really milky and thick. I make 5 quarts and use one a week. So the last quart is fermented for 5-6 weeks. My hair is growing like crazy and is amazingly shiny!
Wow!!! 😃 😁
Wait so, how Much does your hair grow in a Month? Or week? I wanna try this out
So actually the rice blended all together.
Doesn’t stink like death/sewer? How do you combat the smell?
@@LaLabutterfly the youtuber said grapefruit and lavender essential oils. Just get a giant grapefruit, if the smell is strong next time get more peel. You can also add peppermint oil to it as well. that is very stimulating for your scalp and is also quite a strong scent in general.
I watched the Yao ladies explaining some things about their recipe. They use an expensive Chinese herb called He Shou Wu, mulberry roots (at least 5 years old), ginger, dried pomelo skin and tea seed cakes( which acts as a surfactant). The process they make their hair rinse is long and complicated as they also steam the He Shou Wu with black beans and sesame skin to ripen the herb and allow it to have its therapeutic effects. They then soak the He Shou Wu with the rice water. He shou Wu is a Chinese herb known to prevent gray hairs and hair loss. They boil the rice water to bring the nutrients of the herb as Chinese medicine u boil stuff to get therapeutic effects.
@Vixen Kitsune it is in Chinese. So there is no English subtitle. I was watching a popular Chinese show and they had the Yao ladies explaining a bit more about how they make their own shampoo. So the ladies will climb up in the mountain to find the herb He Shou Wu. They call it Pang Shou Wu, to name it after the surname of their tribe but if u go to a Chinese medicine shop, the herbalists call it He Shou Wu. U can google it. He Shou Wu is known as a Chinese herb to help with hair growth, prevents graying and hair loss. But it is expensive. To get the maximum effect, u steam it with Black Beans and Black Seaseme.They also use mulberry roots. But u can use mulberry leaves as the infamous Empress Dowger Cixi shampoo was mulberry leaves boiled and then strained to make a rinse. Mulberry also has benefits for the hair. They use dry pomelo skin not raw skin. U see in Chinese culture, we dry the citrus fruits skin to make soups as it is meant to be healthy. So if u eat a pomelo, just keep the skin and dry it. Rice water acts more of a conditioner. Tea seed cake is what cleans the hair. So I have no idea how to get this in the West. U might need to get from a Chinese herbal shop. Ginger is meant to stimulate hair growth. So the videos u go are limited coz of language barriers.
@Vixen Kitsune If u want the link this is the video of a popular Chinese tv show. U will need a Chinese friend to translate for u. This video is the video the Yao Ladies explaining more of their secret than any other videos I have seen. So many of the DIY videos out there are not doing it properly in terms of trying to replicate the Yao ladies formula. The whole point of boiling the Chinese herbs and rice water is to bring out the therapeutic effect of Chinese herb especially He Shou Wu and Mulberry roots. th-cam.com/video/OTcfvyYYQgE/w-d-xo.html

I've been using the Rice Water treatment for a year now, and my hair has grown very fast and is also a lot thicker too!
Thank you so much for this video, as I had been watching many different ones and found this one to be the best.
I leave it on my hair, wrapped in a plastic bag then towel for about 2 hours, then I wash and condition my hair like usual. I finish with an Apple Cider Vinegar rinse: 1/4 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with 2 Cups Distilled water + some grapefruit essential oil drops. Do not rinse out the Apple Cider Vinegar! Just ring hair out and dry naturally...the Vinegar smell will go away when hair is dry.
Thanks Cheryl, how often do you do this? What kind of hair do you have? ❤
yess how often do you do this?
do u put rice water after shampoo then after rice water u condition right?
My cheap ass cooked the rice afterwards and it turned out great, in case you were wondering 😂
Thanks))
Yes, but how long did you ferment?
@@keh-dalia809 You don't ferment the rice itself, just the water you washed it in
I cooked my rice too...
I cooked it as well, I can't believe so many people say to discard it. It's as if someone said to throw away the fruit after peeling it🤷♀️
Don't waste food!
I did the whole thing. By the way my hair is Gray, bleached and colored....so Kept it for 5 days not a week fermenting. Kept it on my hair for 20 minutes and then rinsed. It was not easy to detangle my hair is a little longer. But this smells great and my scalp feels really good! We'll see how it goes from here! Oh, and I ate the rice and the grapefruit!
I've been doing this every other week now so I've done it twice and I just made my third batch for next weekend and in between I'm using an off brand olaplex shampoo and conditioner. so far so good!

I've followed other TH-camr's method and my hair grew so much and is very very soft so to each their own, I personally wouldn't boil it it takes out minerals and the acid from the grape fruit isn't good for your hair, especially with different types of hair

An Asian man interviewed the elderly family and the yao lady showed and explained the process. She showed first wash the rice 3 times and the last wash leave in tight container for a week to ferment and at the same time store your pomelo peels(grapefruit or what ever acidic peels you have)also. After a week it should smell sour. Then she boiled the sour smelling water and added the peels. She also told him this part I'm about to say is very important. She goes up the hill and gather the tea tree seeds that makes tea tree seed oil for the regular people to cook with , but the ladies who grow their hair take the use tea residue which turns chalky and crumble in the water. She said that's a very important step then the ladies on the video went to the back porch and soaked whole head with the water. The video was under calberklay you tube channel and was 3:07 mins. My point is when you did your research did you also find that part about the tea tree seeds.
Awesome and thank you tea tree oil always has been good for my hair.
👍
Yes she did mention the tea plant seeds residue but she said it's hard to find here so she just use the essential oils.
So I just want to clarify you're supposed to ferment the washed rice water and store the citrus peels somewhere else and then after the fermentation is complete you boil the rice water along with the citrus peels?
@@In.this.economy yes. Correct. That's exactly what this yao family did in the video. When she let the interviewer smell it it smelt sour because of fermentation. Then boiled with peelings. Lastly she said the secret was the residue from the used tea tree seeds.
It only smells bad after leaving it for several days if you skip the grapefruit peels and tea leaf/seed /essential oils. I tried it with just rice and it was unbelievably foul after a week, but I retried it with the full recipe you tracked down and it was fine!
How long should I leave it then?
_When she started talking about jewelry, I thought I was on a different video lmao_
How high are you?
My youtube plan call for no ads, but she put it right in the middle of the video. Guess she was offsetting the cost of making her video and maximizing her profit
@@maryjanehinkle598 apparently not high at all because I thought I was on a different video too... I didn't know I was going to hear about jewelry
Yeh I felt the same
😂😂
I really appreciate this video. I especially like that you mention a few times about how genetics, ethnicity and so forth can also play a huge role in the efficacy of rice water treatments. I have a mixed hair type and if I do rice water, it's usually a once a month/ once every other month kind-of-a-thing for me. Just like you said , you don't want to over do it!!!
I really appreciate how much effort she puts into her videos, she’s really one of the only TH-camrs i trust with getting good information about hair
Hello! I tried it with pomelo and olive oil. Left the jar for a week and the mix on my hair for 2 hours. Amazing results! Thank you!!
There is a chinese video from 10 years ago on youtube with english subtitles. In the video, they ferment first for 7 days before boiling it. The boiling gets rid of the sour smell, kill all the bacteria with the extra ingredients, it smells lovely.
But if you boil it and it kills all the bacteria, what is the use of fermenting it in the first place
@@abanaabana5757 I think this is to obtain some sort of yeast which might be good for the hair
@@abanaabana5757 Oh yea the yeast might not survive with heat..
Fermenting also makes it acidic, so maybe that's the purpise of it. Just a guess.
@@abanaabana5757 to balance the ph
I appreciate your effort in research, especially with crediting the Yao women and also sharing that different hair types DOES matter. Seriously, it's frustrating sometimes that western people tend to exploit or appropriate native cultures and practices. The effort you put to talk about it means a lot.
Sure, just western people exploit or appropriate other cultures. Don't start because the WHOLE world has a dark history of exploitation much much worse than using a hair growth secret.
She’s like the AlexandrasGirlyTalk of hair care! Absolutely love all the research done for each video! 💕
Girl THANK YOU. i freakin love her videos haha x
I’ve heard that rosemary oil is actually very similar to the main ingredient in Rogane! That could be an option as opposed to the lavender.
I have tried this and my hair grew a few inches!!! It made me so happy! Currently letting the rice water soak in my hair. I just want to say for me I use the rice water and then the next day use my regular hair products during a big wash day so this is my second time using it. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO IT HAS HELPED ME TONS ❤️
I do this once a month and it's been second time I've done this and my sister already compliment how thick my hair looks.. I am suffering with PCOS since I was 17 (now 23) which one of the side effects is hair loss..my hair became so thin 😭 but then I tried this rice water thing and now my hair turn so soft and grow faster..all those hair that I lost grew back..I use to have men-pattern baldness where I lost a lot of hair around my crown area, now it's no more..it grew back!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL ❤️❤️❤️
Did you ferment for days before boiling it or boil it first?
I've tried it! When i was applying it on my hair... You know how when you pour water on your hair and it gets tangled sometimes and it aint easy to brush the first time. When I poured the rice water onto my hair and rub it in, it made my hair silky smooth, it was so easy to brush with my fingers. It may feel a bit weird after you rinse it out but the next few days it made my hair feel super soft and smooth. It was fun to touch.
Oh! It doesn't stink. It has a very citrusy aroma, like an orange when you open it...even after a few weeks. I tried mine on the third week.
Some tips I got from another video plus tweaked it up a bit... I rinsed the rice a few times with tap water i think i rinsed mine 3-5 times before draining and adding 4 cups of purified water then washing and rubbing the rice between my hands. That water was directly poured into a pot and I used a strainer to separate the grains of rice, then set it aside for someone to cook... I actually don't remember what happened to the rice after hahaha.
Once in a pot, I put the grapefruit peels and waited for it to boil then set the timer to 7 mins. Then I waited for it to cool down for another 10 mins before pouring it into a jar. You might think it's not enough because some of the water may have evaporated but it was enough for my medium length hair.
Hope this was helpful 😁 I know the video was 😍🥰❤
PS: put in a tightly sealed container, if not, fungi my develop
Did you apply the rice water over your just washed hair (with shampoo)?
Galato I’m wondering the same!! I don’t know when to apply it. Before I shampoo and condition or after I shampoo alone?!?!
After you shampoo you wash your hair with the rice water and leave it in for 20-30 minutes. When you wash out the rice water, then you condition your hair.
Is it still safe to use on the hair, after mold develops?😣😣😣 Mine developed mold after just 3 days😣😣
Cruella de Vil Don’t use that on your hair if there is mold. If there is mold, dump it out and try again. Be sure to use a container that seals TIGHTLY SHUT! Fermentation is the most important thing in this process so I recommend a mason jar
I JUST TRIED THIS AFTER VIEWING YOUR VIDEO! It is now 7:19 am finishing. I rinsed with the Rice Water only which was 3 weeks old. OMG, my hair is soft, shiny and not tangled. I was going to shampoo, however, there is NO odor and the scalp is cleaned.
I did however use some tea oil and leave in conditioner. OMG, my search has ended. This is by far the very best video 🥰🥰 Thank you for being so thorough.
Did you ferment for several days before boiling it or did you boil it first?
While she was going through the sponsorship.. I was reading the comments.. and found the ingredients, preparation and usage 😉
Same
FR! She lost me when the jewelry ad came on, so I went right to the comments!
oooKay!
And playing it on 1.5x speed still found in comments before jewelry sponsorship lol
Same the way she said vitamin did it for me 😳
Thank you for this video... the water was so soft after washing the rice, I to try some on my skin. My face, neck, and arms stayed soft for hours! I have dry skin and it sang as if the sun broke through the clouds! I’ll keep you posted.
U said this 6 months ago, updates!???
Boiling the citrus will degrade the vitamin c and putting the essential into the boiling water will also dissipate the essential oil. Dont allow the citrus to boil then put the essential oils into the water after it has gotten to room temp. I will say that this video is really thorough!!!!! Thanks!
Boiling the rice water in general isn't a good idea especially for different hair types, it takes out ALL of the good qualities to help the hair growth, I don't boil mine nor do I use grapefruit (too much acid), I just do it like everyone else on TH-cam does it (by just letting the rice sit in the water for days or weeks) and my hair is growing fast and is sooo soft (I have thick, 4c hair)
Makes sense bc high heat will kill off the vitamin C
Would you say you should bring the rice water to a simmer and then add the peels and oil or just don’t heat the water at all? Thanks
WMBW Love I have 4c hair too and I’m yet to find another one who’s doing rice water till now. Could u tell me how u do it and how often? Thanks
@@WMBWLove yeah but this is the recipe from the Yao women. If you want to do it like them then you boil. If you dont want to then that's on you but it's not how they do it anymore then lol
I've seen lots of videos that says their way us right and everyone else is wrong. Your video is one that I've found to be the most accurate. Bravo. My people believe that long hair represents strength, health and freedom.
Hi. My daughter hair was down the middle of her back. I cut it all off around maybe 3in due to scatter heat damage in March of 2019. I put rice in jar with water. Sometimes I wash rice sometimes i dont, let it sit for 24 hours. I wash her hair with sulfate shampoo follow up with rinse out conditioner. Spray rice water all over hair with putting deep conditioner on top. Let process for 45min-1hr. Rinse out. Moisture and seal with Greece and water. I try to keep her in protective styles.so I use rice water and deep conditioning treatment almost every wash day. Her hair has grown back tremendously healthy and doesn't shed a lot after taking down 4-6wk old braids. Her hair is back down the middle of her back .
Which conditioner & shampoo do you use? I’m trying to grow my girls hair out.
solfate is extremely bad for the hair
@@kuhki2724 sulfates are actually necessary if your hair needs clarifying from product build up. With rice water, the protein content is very high so it's likely the the sulfates are what is keeping this persons hair from protein overload. Everyone's hair needs are different so sulfates may be very bad for your hair, but necessary for others.
I literally have a pomelo tree outside of my house, how convenient
*you're so blessed💙. Pomelos are delicious and have many health benefits, that's probably why they specifically use pomelo's super thick peel and not grapefruit or orange etc...*
Bro lucky! Pomelo is so goodddd
Could you ship me some hehe
Wow that is very convenient
Pomelo is something I have had since a child and it surprises me that very little people know what it is
Black girl with natural hair here. Thank you for the FACTS.
Sis what was the point....
Why does you being black with natural hair have to do with anything?
Christina Ngabekome maybe because her hair is VERY different from the lady in the video and not too many black people who make rice water videos pile on facts and info like this. Making it way more helpful.
Diamond Dior, thank you
Why the first two hating? Why does it matter to you that SHE mentioned SHE was black? Bye y'all.
Yes! I was feeling this video, though I'm heavy into hair care and rice water methods this NEVER came up in my feed! Glad to know even more behind this simple method
I actually tried it last week and it made my natural 4c hair so soft and moisturized. I put organic white rice into a spray bottle then added a lot of water to maybe 2 tablespoons of rice. I left the mixture in the spray bottle for 1 or two days. I shook the ingredients very often as I waited for it to "ferment". I have never fermented anything, so I had no clue what I was doing. Whatever I did, worked wonderfully, so much so, I can't wait to do it again. However, I will wait and do it next month as to prevent protein overload... I enjoyed your video. I found your info to be very clear, concise, and informative.
Did You fermented for several days before you boiled it or did you boil it first?
@@reecea.419 Boil first then ferment. I've also clean rice, then put it in a secure jar, add water, seal tightly and put it in a dark room for 2 or more days before using.
Excellent! Thank you. I tried it and it turned out fantastic. I have never felt my hair so soft and tangle-free, beautiful and shiny. Less breakage and easy to style. It's almost a week and my hair is still moisturised. Thank you for providing us with the correct info. Well done!
This is a great video. I can say as a Rice water user for months on my relaxed hair, my hair wonderful results. I do just like other videos do. I wash my rice, add with water and an orange peel to the jar and I seal the jar. Sometimes I use in 24 hours but most times I forget and leave it as long as a week. The fermentation totally happens and you can tell by the bubbles that happen you can see it fizzing in the Mason jar. I imagine that it doesn't really matter if you do it the "proper" way or the popular ways. My hair is softer, longer, less shedding, its even shinier. Because my hair is relaxed i can use this once a week but I usually moisture condition during or after.
do you put the rice water in before you wash your hair and let it sit or do you use it after you have shampooed your hair and put in your conditioner? i want to try it but i just don't know where in my wash day routine is best to use it
I would love to see an update post 4 months using Rice water!!
Please!
I've been using the 24 hour method (and currently have a jar on the counter I'm experimenting with for a longer ferment) for a while, but I also add white distilled vinegar up to about 25% of the total mixture and I use this as an after shampoo rinse, leaving for a minute or two while I'm washing everywhere else in the shower, then I rinse it out. The vinegar is good to restore the acid mantle and is fantastic for preventing split ends. I also add a little food-grade rose water for a nice smell, just a splash in a quart jar. I've been working training my scalp to produce less oil by extending the time between washes, only recently switching to 1x per week. This has helped me get past a hair plateau. At this point, I'm at tailbone length and I was stuck at waist-length for years with the need to trim a lot due to split ends. Just putting all that out there in case it might be helpful to someone else. Also, the ratio of vinegar to rice water might need to be adjusted depending on hair texture and fullness. Mine is on the fine side, straight, and too much vinegar makes it feel greasy.
I might have to try it differently based on this video. I look forward to experimenting.
Thank you, so glad it is working for you...I would like to experiment too, but mine is fine but wavy...wish me luck!
I've currently got hair just past my elbows which is black and layered on the sides...(think of Amy Lee from Eveanescence, and you'll see the same).
I'm trying to get the tip of it to my tailbone. I hope the rice water method will work. Because I've tried everything else including daily doses of Biotin and several vitamins.
Thinking of adding a few drops of rosemary oil to it too.

thank you i'm so glad you find some value in my videos xx
Isabella Demarko 👍🏻❤️✨
I just realized what I was doing wrong this entire time and how misinformation has probably caused extra damage to my hair. A lot of people had me believing that just soaking my hair in it and leaving it wouldn't do damage when in reality I've probably been overloading my hair with protein when I do that. I care an immense amount about my hair and I'm really glad I found you.
I have been using this on my beard (unfremented, because I couldn't wait). From the first application it has given greater control over the wavy growth. I added a couple drops of peppermint leaf extract and a bit of coconut oil near the end of the heating process.
I love this recipe so much! I've tried other rice water recipes in the past and it would just make my hair crunchy. This one makes my hair feel so soft and silky 😍
I cried when I saw how amazing it worked on my hair because of the fact that my hair has been suffering but it was so pretty and shiny in such a healthy way but I do though only use it one or two times a month💖
That’s soo good!!
Did you put any citrus fruit peel
Asmi Dhungel no I didn’t actually I only put in what she said in the video but I don’t have the ingredients anymore so I should maybe try that🥰
Faery Gay Mother yeah it did grow faster because it was healthier. It was definitely noticeable💖
Weirdo MultiStan
No don’t try that...maybe I could be wrong or something..
Asmi Dhungel okay them I’m just gonna try to get the ingredients from at home because I wanna stay inside all the time. No one can tell me I didn’t do my thing in this quarantine😂💖
I’ve been using rice water in my hair for almost 2 years and it has grown tremendously. My Chinese friends also use it every night after washing their hair. If too much rice is used, it WILL BREAK your HAIR. We use the rice water straight from the cooking pot to wash our faces which are clear and blemish free. Everyone has a different method but it still gets the job done.. It was an informative video, thanks for sharing. 💕😃
do you use it every night?
I’m sort of asian and I don’t know if rice water will make my hair grow cause I really need long hair for curls
When I did it worked and my hair grew FAST! I use it at least 3 times a week and shampooed out on the 8th day. I did not boil the rice, I let it sit for almost a day. I massaged it in with some oils added. This time i am including peppermint and my blended oils (with them hot) massaged in after the rice water is put in. Tomorrow is my day #1 of the my bi-weekly rice water challenge until my b day in august. I trimmed my hair a little yesteday and sealed in moisture so i am ready. I am doing a hot oil treatment today. I am pampering my hair daily for now on. 😊
You're editing is AWESOME!!! It makes it really fun to watch. I looove the little details 🥰 This video was very informative, I learnt a lot of new stuff. Thank you for giving so much effort :") Love you ❤️❤️
Made this a month ago (14th sept) using lemon as that’s what I had on hand, opened it now and still smells lightly of lemon. No horrible smell at all! Yum.
Using it tonight and making a new batch now with grapefruit peel
I used this method and it made my hair grow instantly, like no joke
How many times do u in a week/month x
U swear?
Tasha Louise only 2-3 times a week

Girl, I JUST found out last night that I accidently (being careless) bought 5 lbs of sticky rice! I like it but I don't need THAT much. I was bummed this morning but this video just made this a happy mistake! Thanks for the info! ❤️
Where did you buy the sticky rice at? I've never heard of Sticky Rice before. I tried looking it up and all I could find called sticky rice was either instant or cooked. Is there another name they call it?
@@lindatabler6396 Calrose rice. Thought I was being fancy 😅 obviously not the exact same as theirs but it's much more starchy than the rices I'm used to
Where did you buy the rice?
@@lindatabler6396 I looked up sticky rice and I found its called glutinous rice
I’m not sure if you are going to see this but I used to have the same exact hair type and texture as you and I used the curly girl method, with curly girl approved products for 30 days and it completely changed my hair. The frizz died down and now I’m starting to get ringlets!!!!!
Thanks! Correction though…oil is not the same as seed oil. Essential oil is the aromatic oils of a leaf or flower. And a seed oil is the fats from a seed (like an egg yolk from an egg) so i would say the essential oil is closer to adding alcohol than fat. You CAN get tea seed oil here! Its called camelia oil! Thats what ill add to mine 😊
As asian woman I only know that my orchids and roses have more flowers and so healthy after watering them with water we used to wash the rice. 🌷⚘🌹💐Never thought it would be good on the hair too. I'll definitely try this! Specially I have a bad as in very bad hair falls. I'll let know if it works on my hair or just for orchids and roses alone.😘
Thank you for your great video, definitely informative and helpful based on comments here.👍🏼

I fermented my normal rice water for days and I opened it.. now I'm searching for a new house...
Lmboooooooooo
Maby people do not understand what's fermentation is. If the water was boiled then everything would that water contain like vitamins minerals and such are already dead. Nothing in that water can go through fermentation process now. Another thing that everybody advices which I think is wrong is to close tightly the container with water and wait for it to ferment. If the container is tightly closed the fermentation process is not going to happen. In order for water to go through the fermentation process it needs access to air, the best thing to do is to cover the container with cheesecloth to prevent debris falling in and wait for 3 to 5 days, deoending on a room temperature, for fermintation proces to happen in a dark space.
@@Mrsnexochy I totally agree with you...this is my belief indeed
@@Mrsnexochy I thought fermentation was an anaerobic (not requiring oxygen) process?
This made me bust out laughing!!! 🤣🤣
i tried it both ways and still got the same amount of growth 😂 so ig either way is fine but thank you for backing it up with sources! we stan an educated queen lol
Issa Secret secret okay good girl bc I just made some earlier and it’s in the fridge!! I was kind of scared I did oh wrong lol
I tried, and with first wash itself hair fall reduced a lot. Thank you for sharing the information. You explained so well.
Guys I used it. But i used orange peels. So, the mixture went a little white from the bottom I thought it went bad. I put it for 3 days only but still. I went to my mother she smelled it and said its okay. I shampoo and conditioner and then used it. After than my hair felt really soft. And smelled AMAZING. Secondly it was very easily comped.
Note:
If it went white from the bottom dont think it went bad it's just the oranges peel reaction smell it if it smells good it's okay!
I´ve been using rise water for maybe a year now, I use it once every two weeks cause I feel that it is the quantity of protein my hair likes, I have naturally wavy hair, and after I use it my hair is just... so perfect, shiny and soft and more curly. I have to admit I use the regular "leave the water for 24 hrs" but now, I can not wait to use this method. Thank u so much for all the info. :*

@@CWHIPlovinHB I've tried the "new" method once last week and honestly I couldn't see or feel a difference, but I will continue using it for the upcoming months to see if my hair grows a little bit faster, or if there's any change and I'll let you know ;).

LOVE how you DID THE RESEARCH before putting out content & I really like your editing. You know how to keep it informative & fun. Thanks and keep it up girl!
I tried the vinegar rinse and it helped my hair so much thank you
Rice water and aloe vera have really helped my hair grow healthy.Aloe vera gel has really helped soften and grow my hair and I found an easy way to get the juice off without a blender or the mixing or the lamps, and I made a short how to video on my channel. I can be inconsistent, so making my hair routine easy is really important to me. This was really helpful too.
I’ve been using rice water on my hair for about 4 months now. I wash my hair about every 6 days. I do everything in this video pretty much except I don’t boil the rice and I only have lavender oil in it to mask the smell more than anything.
It’s usually left to ferment for about 2 days and then I pour it into my spray bottle and it just lives there for however long until I’ve used it up. It usually lasts about 2 months so about 8 washes for me.
The thing is though once I’ve sprayed it all in my hair I then put my conditioner in over it. Deep or normal. Then that sits there for half an hour with a shower cap over it and I rinse it out. I do that because then the protein from the water is balanced out with the moisture from the conditioner. It’s worked well for me. My boyfriend says my hair is really soft all the time so works a treat lol. The reason I started it is to help with hair growth for medical reasons and I’m not sure if it’s working for that although my hair is longer than before but not sure if that’s just natural growth lol but I stick with it now because it’s keeping my hair in good condition.
Wow
How many times did use rice water in a week.I am asking you coz I also used rice water for my hair but it made my hair more frizzy.i used it every 4 days later and I keep it in my hair for 30 minutes or 1 hour.....
Please please please please please tell me.every one is saying that rice water made their hair soft then why it made my hair frizzy
Gazi Islam I use it once a week since I wash my hair once a week. It may be causing frizz in your hair because your hair already has too much protein. Try using a deep conditioners over it and limit your use to once a week if you’re using it twice. In my opinion an hour is more than enough. 30 minutes left in your hair will do.
@@Becksnnc thanks
Learn about your hair get to know it have a true relationship with it. Remember that most people we watch hair texture is different . You are not around these people they are sharing the tidbits of their day. Do your research because you do not want to come back complaining it did not work for you. Your hair is a journey within yourself and itself no matter what your nationality. Learn to love yourself. 🙏😍
So I follow this exact recipe and I changed two things about the recipe. The first thing I changed was I add a grapefruits and oranges secondly I added ferugreek. I like that basically simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes and then I put them in mason jars I waited till cool down and then make sure I put a tight lid on at the mason jars. I let one jar ferment for about a month and the second jar I let it ferment for actually a few months.
After fermenting the rice water, Also I’ll changed the way I use the treatment instead of washing My hair with the treatment, what I did was put it in droppers and at night before I go to bed or when I get up in the morning I will put a few droplets on my scalp and massage in. And because of quarantine my hair is usually in a protective style, so it made it so much easier because basically I didn’t touch my hair for about 3 to 4 months and the only time i did do it is when it needs a good wash. The treatment had a bit of a citrusy kind of sour smell it smell good though, while I was doing the treatment my hair had little to no smell and which I’m happy about.
Well that all being said my hair does need the protein because it lacks it, so what I do after I guess the 3-4 months of build up from the treatment and the fact that my hair needs to be washed what I do is I take down my cornrows what I find helps with the build up and a bit of the tangling is oil and water in a spray bottle and a big tooth comb and I just saturate my hair in the water and I just comb out the knots in it does it perfectly every time not a lot of pain it’s easy and I don’t have an issue.
Since doing the treatment, I just said it to have hair hair length goals. So when I started back in the summer of 2020, my hair struggled to get to the middle of my back. It would break
And was very uneven, so after I gave it a trim and put it in cornrows since doing the treatment from last summer to about winter.. my hair is now officially passed the middle of my back and it continues to grow I just washed it the other day and it’s going really well I gave myself another trim just to get rid of the ends and a start of the process again.
And if you guys don’t know my hair is about a 4B/4c type.
Thank you so much for this information! I have 4c hair and have a lot of trouble with the thickness and length of my hair. I’ve kind of given up. I have a couple of questions if you don’t mind me asking.
Would you say boiling the water is crucial to the process?
Have you tried the method where you just leave the rice and water in a mason jar to ferment overnight instead of boiling? That’s what I see ppl do most often.
How did you know that your hair lacks protein?
So you don’t rinse your hair with this, you basically just use it a leave-in?
For storage, do you leave it in the fridge?
@@nkirukaukaegbu5080 you’re welcome,
1. I don’t think it’s crucial, but I did want to follow the recipe.
2. I have tried the method without boiling and I didn’t really have an issue with it but that being said the smell wasn’t pleasant also I felt the overnight method was more for girls wash their hair every day or every other day which I don’t do. Depending on my protective style, which is usually wigs I don’t wash my hair.
3. I do a trick with glass of water and a strand of my hair. It’s to test your hairs porosity, so if your hair stays at the top it means you have low porosity, if your hair flows in the middle it means you’re pretty much normal but if it floats to the bottom it means it’s high porosity.
4. Correct, So when I get up in the morning or before I go to bed, I usually have a spray bottle or dropper of the rice water and just apply it to my scalp in my hair and just rub it in. I’ve even gone as far as to make a conditioner out of my rice water because that’s what I generally use if I feel like my hair needs a little cleanse before my wash day or wash month essentially.
5. my mixture is always on nightstand so I remember to make sure and put it in my hair every night or every other night or on my dresser. In A concealed container but if I have a mixture that needs to ferment, I leave it in a mason jar that’s completely sealed and let it sit. The longest I’ve left my rice water to ferment was about five months.
