Rinsing your hair with rice water apparently can do wonders for it. This is the favorite method of many beauty bloggers and Instagram trendsetters, and it comes from Asia.
Asian skincare methods have become very popular in the past few years and the trend is now spreading to hair care. Rice water treatment has been used in Japan, China, and Southeast Asia for centuries, and it’s time for you to try it, too.
What’s rice water anyway? Rice water is the starchy water that’s left after you’ve cooked or soaked rice. It’s believed to have many vitamins and minerals that are found in rice, such as the B Vitamins, Vitamin E, antioxidants, amino acids, etc. Some of the benefits it’s believed to have include detangling the hair, making it shinier, making it stronger, helping hair grow, making it smoother, and many more.
To make your own rice water, all you need is half a cup of uncooked rice and 3 cups of water. Rinse the rice and soak it in the water, then leave it for half an hour. Strain it into a clean bowl and use for the final rinse after washing your hair.
