As a cultural anthropologist, I give Kayley an A+++ in "cultural appreciation not appropriation"!! The whole opening section on the Red Yao women was so well done!
This is the best compliment!! Thank you!!
Agreed!
@@kayleymelissa Fully agree with it. I heard some parts of it before, but you gave me a whole new perspective. It was amazing and objective point of view. Appreciation, but without being blinded :) I admire that you are digging and researching all the facts in scientific recourses! As a scientists, I am giving you another A*** ;)
So wonderfully done!!
I have always loved learning about culture and history this is both well done
I love everything about this video: the evidence based science, the respect for culture, and presenting it in such an entertaining way! I didn't think I could love you more, Kayley! Please, please, more videos like this
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I had so much fun making it!
Same! every time I think Kayley's videos can't possibly be more perfect, she just raises the bar again.
+
Agree agree agree on all fronts!!!
Yes this was such an incredibly awesome video!!!
okay the cultural context was so interesting and beautiful to learn wow those women are so cool
Beautiful!
As a retired teacher, I must say you make a fantastic teacher. Not only do you explain the subject in an engaging way but you do a through job of researching. I would follow what you suggest because of the extensive research you do, amazing. Keep up the excellent job. I had to subscribe. Thank you for doing all the research.
Thorough
So true
Are you serious?
Are you nuts? She does nothing but giving bad advice. I am a hair specialist and the advice she gives will make hair fall out in clumps. Just look at her hair how ugly it is. She wares hair extensions to over up.
This mint colour looks gorgeous on you!😍😍
Can confirm. #SheRealCute
I wanna like the comment but u don't wanna ruin the 365
@@ishanapreethi6986 you can ruin it now if you want :)
@Amy Cook I hadn't noticed it until you mentioned it but I agree. She has pink in her complexion and then her hair is a golden color which pairs well with the mint. I wish I could draw something with the same palette like a soft pink rose with mint green leaves and gold details.
Pastels in general would look really good, I think...
They also have to think about the fact that the women in Asia who are doing this, have no hair color no heat tools etc...
For sure! No heat, and very much protective hair styles!
Exaaaaaaaactly
Yes! I’ve cut out heat styling because of the pandemy & my hair has totally changed! So much healthier! I’m slowly growing out my natural color now because my hair looks so much better. 🥰
I read that Asian hair has more layers then ours , so theyre hair is more protected, so genetics is the Main factor, the offcourse taking care of ur hair 🌸
@@theodoragreveniotis9495 If by that you mean thicker hair, then anecdotally -- yeah. As an Asian woman, I have never gone to a stylist who hasn't said something about how thick my hair is. When my hair is long and in a ponytail it can be a legit blunt force weapon
Now THAT'S how you talk about health trends. Cultural context, science, keep what's good, discard what might not be good, and give LOADS of credit where credit is due. Thank you
Okay, I’ve been seeing this ALL OVER TikTok. Thank you for educating everyone and giving some insight into the science so we understand the “why” - love this so much! Can’t wait for Pt. 2! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Many doctors speak of it also on tiktok
Is pt 2 out ?

I love how respectful you are and that you actually took the time to do some research on this culture, this is why your channel is so special and different from others :)
I love how you talked a lot about the tradition behind it, the science, and why the different things do and don't work. You explained things really clearly, and your enthusiasm is infectious!
I also really appreciate how she said that one of the study was probably biased because the companies wanted a certain result!! What other youtubers would recognize that this is so important?!
This is one of my favorite videos of yours (which is saying a lot since I’ve seen most of them multiple times)! I’m so excited to see your recipe and results! The research that has gone into this video is very appreciated.
Hey Kayley, I really love how you were highlighting the cultural traditions of these women. So enjoyed this and looking forward to the next video.
Please do more of these research-based videos! It makes my little librarian heart so happy!
Same here for my little data scientist heart!
I love educational research videos I’ll be here for all of them
Another librarian :D
I can recommend Sarah Ingles channel if you're looking for other science based videos about hair care.
Yessss
This is so so cool! I love it when we get to geek out about the science and culture behind beauty! Love the level of respect you brought to the women and culture. I’ve seen a few of these videos now from hair CZcams and this is by far the most respectful and well researched. 💛
Lol love your genuine explanation & you're a very patient teacher for going through all these searching to find the basic info about all the crazy videos on CZcams!! Just loved your seriousness to search & let us know the nutrition facts about the rice water for the hair!! You deserve the 👍 button 😆 good job 👏
It's interesting that this culture's rule on hair pre-and-post coming of age is the complete opposite of the Hasidic Jews (who openly show their hair before marriage and cover it up after marriage). Loved the history lesson!!
Had the same thought!
I'm a materials chemist and I thoroughly enjoyed the extra science in this video 👌
Re the ginger study, keep in mind that they used an extract from ginger, not the entire plant. This is a…western, monetize things attitude, because they’re looking for a what can be protected under laws, make money, etc. But a lot of the ingredients in traditional medicines are working synergistically with each other-curcumin, ginger root, and black piperine are a commonly used example of how researchers will take one part of a traditional medicine (in this case, curcumin) and then declare it doesn’t work. The response from traditional practitioners is “well of course, you left out…” and now, half a decade later, researchers are looking at all three combined and getting different results.
So it might be that the ginger does nothing other than being a common ingredient in the area. But it also might be that the entire ginger root has a benefit that a single extract from the root does not.
100% this!!
Thank you for saying this. People just always overlook this fact. But it's huge.
Chemist here: This is very very true. The way that an ingrediant works in a formulation can sometimes be very different than how it works alone. We see this across the board. I've had to say "we didn't think this would work but together its amazing."
Totally fair! Thank you for commenting! I'll look around for more wholistic studies :)
This is so true!
I love that you CLEARLY caveat cultural appreciation is best when we’re “invited” to it as opposed to using it out of cultural context or *shivers* appropriating it for personal gain. Thank you thank you
I made a video on my channel showing the result in my hair🤭 My loves come and see
Omg knock it off with the appropriation bs. 🙄
I dont care of you're offended, ill do whatever I want, I dont need anyones permission, stop being childish
@@AG-nn8lp Literally. It's RICE WATER. You CANNOT appropriate A GRAIN THAT CAME FROM THE PLANET. It belongs to us all. Just respect the culture that came up with the idea and move on. We don't need permission or any of this other bs.
Imagine if we just respected the culture things originated from, credited them, and moved on. That would end racism way faster than yip yapping about culture boarders and cultural appropriation. All whining about those things does is seperate race more.
Strange that nobody ever talks about other cultures wearing white western clothes, for example. Or using white technology and medicine.
What a joy to listen to this woman! As an RN, I appreciate her research and explanation of that research. Her beautiful acknowledgment of the Red Yao women was stellar! The complete description of hair and its growth mechanisms was very helpful in connecting the potential product to its benefits. AND her excitement and enthusiasm is contagious! I plan to follow this channel! Well done!!
You never cease to amaze me, Kayley, you're just so talented!
it's incredible to see such "trivial" topics such as hair growth being talked about with such a scientific approach, especially considering all the DIY totally random stuff continously posted on social media.
Really love to listen to you above all that noise!
So excited to watch this! Love professor Kayley 🤓💁🏻♀️
Wooo!! I'm thinking about bringing that side out more!
@@kayleymelissa yay! I would love that! I love to nerd out and learn all about different topics. You explain things so well I think we could learn a lot from you! Kayley’s Academy of all Things Hair! 💖
@@kayleymelissa PLESE DO! This was SO much fun to watch! I learned so much and I am so interested to learn more about things I didn't have any questions about before. Which is how I know I just watched an INCREDIBLE educational video. THANK YOU!
@@kayleymelissa Please bring out Professor Kayley more! This was fascinating and so cool to watch!
i loved it, u should make more videos like this, to test myths and give us scientifically proved advices
I am so impressed with this video! I love how you talk about where the tradition stems from and its importance to the Yao women. After you do the DIY version, I'd love if you could find/recommend ready-made products that have similar benefits because this toddler mom has much less time for making her own hair treatments nowadays. 😊
Ooh that would be interesting
I've been using rice water on my curly hair for a couple of years now and I HIGHLY recommend at least trying it out. There are so many ways people prepare it and some can get quite elaborate. I must confess, I tried many if them too. I found what works best for me...between the minimal time and effort I have to put into the preparation and the results I get from it......I simply rinse a cup of rice in a colander over the sink and then add the rice to a bowl of water and cover. Then I let it sit for 24 hours. After that, I stir or shake to mix well and then scoop out the rice with a slotted spoon. Shampoo hair as usual and rinse out, then add rice water to hair and let sit for up to 15 minutes if possible, then rinse out and finish with usual conditioning treatment. I do this every 2 weeks and it's really done wonders!
I made some and it truly took almost no time (definitely less than going to a store). I just went with the most plain recipe to try: rice & room temp water and fermented for a couple days. I filled a mason jar, covered the top with the cloth, then screwed on the outer ring. I put it through a strainer a few hours later. Then I left it on the counter with the cloth cover + ring for a few days. There are other recipes where you boil the rice but I just wanted to do a lazy one. I also funneled it into a leftover spray bottle to spritz my hair and use as a mask. I soak my hair and wear a shower cap while I do stuff around the house.
@@mandiwolfe6631 just curious if you just wash your hair like normal the rest of the week? I would like to try, and wasn’t sure how many times a week you do the treatment?
@@Jeepgirls1978 Hi......I do the rice water treatment once every 2 weeks, personally. I find that works best for my hair. Since rice water is a protein treatment, it depends on the balance of your own hair for how often you do it. Kinda trial and error at first, to be honest. I have high porosity dry coarse curly hair that's currently waist length. I asses how my hair health is each wash day and adjust moisture/protein as needed at the time. I typically wash with shampoo just once a week. Every other week I add in the rice water step. (if I find I happen to need an extra wash day in a random week, I use a co-wash conditioner for my hair type). I hope this all makes sense! I can try to explain it better if you have questions. As I'm typing it out I'm even confusing myself, lol.
This was a wonderful video Kayley! I love how you dove into the history and gave a very complete and respectful picture of the cultural heritage and significance to this trend! Truly, very well done, I’m so proud of you! 💕
Your approach to discussing cosmetics makes me so excited about health and beauty as a subject. I feel like, so many times, people don't discuss the science of it all...and only look to the exterior presence different ingredients and treatments bring. You really dig deep, and share knowledge on what these different things mean and how they can actually benefit individuals.
Thank you for being your bubbly, intelligent, and thoughtful self, Kayley. You make beauty feel like a right to explore, as it leads to healthier living and a cool way to enjoy science!
this is such a well-made video, wow 💕

God bless Kayley Melissa for not just acknowledging cultural appropriation but also doing her best to be a parttaker of cultural activity as opposed to a mindless snatcher of rituals. Bless her for using her position to share information about where the techniques come from. Bless her for doing good, robust scientific, evidence-based research on all the claims. And bless her for calling out the validity and reliability of the studies. This is what we call an A+++ human being and content creator. Just bless you.
As a student majoring in biological sciences with a concentration in biotechnology, I can say that this video uses true scientific sources! Great job Melissa!
The history was so lovely, it made me tear up. Their culture is so beautiful and I'm so glad you researched and talked about it. I'm so excited to see how to do this!! I'm curious about the rinsing before soaking and fermenting. Like how much to rinse it so you don't get rid of too many nutrients? Can't wait to see!!
This video made me so excited!!!! My favorite thing as a hairstylist was to look up those crazy Pinterest diy hair mask recipients against google scholar articles. Also the cultural context is soooo important
Hello Kayley,
Please make a video on protective hair styles for mid length and long hair while sleeping or exercising.
I grew my hair out and now confused about what to do with it before I sleep lol.
I have long hair, and I always put it in a low, loose braid before I sleep every night. I find it prevents most tangles :)
I used to have thigh-length hair, and I also sleep very still, so I would just brush it, apply oil, and lay it behind my pillow. Sometimes I'd sleep with rope braids :)
A satin scarf is the best you can do for your hair while you sleep
Girl, braid yo hair!? If your hair is past shoulder length you need to learn to braid it & make it apart of your nightly routine. It will prevent breakage & tangles♥️
Braids, every night if you can. Also, satin or silk pillowcases or shower cap. Keeps hair silky and free of tangles so it stays healthy.
I just wanted to say that I appreciate that you called out the origin of the recipe and "cultural appreciation not appropriation". As someone who is Chinese and lives in America, I find that a lot of times people not of a specific ethnicity or descent dismiss the culture, and in turn, the people connected to the culture.
So we're supposed to accept and embrace other cultures but don't dare use any of their cultural traditions or you're appropriating 🙄👌
@@AG-nn8lp I never said anything about not USING any of the traditions. But you should at least know where they came from and give them credit. Which is exactly what she did in this video. I feel sorry for you that you must come from a background with no culture. Go educate yourself 🙄
Cringe
@@nonsequiturillogicality
Give them credit for what?
Also nice racist comment btw hypocrite
@@nonsequiturillogicality
You should thank white men for the internet you've been using lmao! White men landed on the moon, what have you done with your culture?
You're guilty of cultural appropriation because you didnt give due credit to white men for making the internet. (: See how silly you are?
LOVE the science and that you have some info on the cultural background - I've noticed this channel has become more inclusive and considerate of all hair types this year which means a lot as a curly gal myself!
Aw yay! That's my goal! I realized I was staying in one lane because I felt like I wasn't knowledgeable enough, but I realized that can change! So I've been trying to educate myself more.
Yes I like this video I am sad for my losing hair I wanna back my hair thank I try this
Kailey, the way you approached this was so incredibly respectful and honoring to these women. Well done Kailey!
Okay, first of all, I absolutely love nerd Kayley and how respectful you were of this culture. Definitely excited for your part two. Can you maybe address companies that say they use these ingredients? I came across Viori, a shampoo bar company, that claims to have been tutored by the Red Yao women and get rice sourced from them. It would be great to get your opinion!
As a chemistry student specializing in food and partly cosmetics, it was so cool to see you base everything in studies and explaining what the results were!
This is one of the most researched and well sourced videos of yours I've ever seen ! And I love your cultural appreciation, not appropriation approach ! It was so interesting, thanks Kayley !!
I LOVE how excited you get about science and research!!!
Thank you so much for talking so in depth about this tradition and for really making an effort to understand it and to teach us.
Lots of love from Italy!❤️
"sCienCe" LOL! "rEsEarCh" LOL!
You're silly (:
Besides all of the research and information presented, I really wanted to say how amazing you are at explaining cultural appreciation versus appropriation. More people need to not only realize this, but figure out a simple way on how to explain it or even understand it and I feel that you've succeeded. It can get tiring explaining it all the time and sometimes a new approach or way to explain is needed.
I've forgotten in both of your previous videos that you have bangs! Either they're growing quickly or you're really good at styling them. Either way, looking fabulous!
I've been subscribed for 9 years, and this may be your best video yet! The respect and cultural sensitivity was such a great way to honor tradition without appropriation. I also appreciate the thorough historical and scientific research with source credibility taken into consideration. Thank you, and I can't wait for part II!
I just found your channel. You are officially my favourite CZcamsr. I regret nothing.
Appreciate you calling out and educating the culture behind rice water. I’ve absolutely noticed people were using / sharing the rice water trend without acknowledging or knowing where it’s truly comes from.
It’s really interesting that these years people began to discover more and more Chinese beauty method, such as Gua sha, jade roller, rice water, fire cupping spa... and you even mentioned tea oil. Yes, in China we have tea seed oil shampoo （茶籽）and rice water shampoo in supermarket for sale.
Oh I am SO excited for this mini-series! I’m not on tiktok so I haven’t seen anything about this phenomenon before watching your video. 💗 I’m excited to learn more!
I did have a couple questions about usage of the final concoction:
1. How exactly do you apply it? If this were a commercial product the instructions would probably just say “apply to hair,” but I need more detail than that!
2. Would your concoction be appropriate for use once a week if that’s the only time I co-wash my hair? Or would I be better off using white rice instead of brown rice? Having hair that’s somewhat thick and somewhat curly, I find that I can typically go about a week between washes. I normally co-wash my hair with Suave Essentials coconut conditioner, but I would love to try this rice water mixture as my sole co-wash product!
I'm using Viori and LOVE IT!!! So glad I watched your video. Thanks for all the work you put into it.
Someday I may give this a try. Till then, I'll keep using Viori.
My hair feels so soft and has great shine without any heat or product. It washes out easily! Loving it!
It's funny to me how everybody keeps mentioning tik tok people that post on tiktok basically stole all these DIY rice water videos from CZcams. but now all of a sudden is the hot thing on tick tock when people been posting about rice water for over four or five years now on CZcams. Anyway, I love how you did this video, I love that it was very informative, I've seen things in your video about the Yao women that I did not see in other videos.
This video was a great!! I've always been curious about rice water and the traditions behind it. I'm so excited to get my hair growth on! Thank you for showing appreciation to the beautiful Yao women.
Hell yes to everything about this video, Kayley!! Science, cultural origins and research, a bubbly Kayley. I love it all! I am looking forward to part 2.
"REEEEEEE cUltuRal aPpropRiatiOn"
This is the first rice water hair video that i found interesting enough to watch from beginning to end. I'm so happy you included so much information about the heritage of this idea. Absolutely amazing. FInished watching your latest video with saf and thought "hey her name is also melissa and she does a really good job with saf, i need to see more content" and i am so happy i did. Great job and keep up the good work!
LOVE the way u approached today’s topic and gave the Yao people the recognition they deserve!!
I remember learning about the red Yao woman in 7th grade when I wanted to grow my hair super long and was on a deep dive in the depths of CZcams. It’s also how I found this channel. I however did not follow the recipe in 7th grade but maybe I should have.
You’re so respectful of this culture and brought great awareness thank you!!
BRAVO!!! From a 38 yr old dude who happened upon this vid for no reason (but clicked since I have thinnish hair).
I admit I first presumed this would be a basic “bro-science” type of overview (which is normal and sometimes okay for YT or social media types) but you WOWED me with your inclusion of context, variables, and beautifully humanistic sense to explore the background story. Thank you.
Great job Kaley on the researching the origins of the rice water hair tradition and the RedYao women. I really appreciated this video and the fantastic job you did of demonstration curiosity and respect for their cultural traditions and you did a great job talking about it too. This was so much more than I expected (I've never been on your channel before) I just wanted to tell you I was impressed, super impressed.
So impressed that I came here to make a comment about how as an anthropologist and archeologist (and I find I'm not the only one), just how impressed and appreciative I am by your level of dedication to researching and sharing the origins, history, and cultural practice behind what is currently a tiktok/youtube beauty trend. And, I wanted to commend you not only on a job well done but also aa well developed understanding and awareness of the importance behind cultural practices and the respect they are due.
Bravo lady.
We stan a research queen 👑 I'm Chinese, and thank you so much for the care and attention you've put in to this ❤️
um wat? but u r white though
No ur not Libby Williams
really? how'd you feel when she recommend Thai or Indian rice?
Im a white male but I identify as chinese so I diserve credit too
Given that apparently you can't mute notifications on yt comments, I'll just say that I guess none of you have ever heard of mixed race people passing for white before (I just said "Chinese" in original comment bc I don't like "half") and hope you leave me alone now.
this is such a well researched, respectful and informative video!
This is so much more empowering than the reasons given for the religion I grew up in. (apostolic) I wasn't able to cut my hair, or wear pants or makeup and it is basically because not wanting men to lust after us, but at the same time looking modest and lady like. (Long hair and not wearing pants). Smh
Girl, you nailed it. Impressed and not much impresses me but you did. Well done on the Cultural Heritage & History of The Red Yao Women.
I was gifted a Comb from a Friends Aunt that is kept in my safe and I do not have Children so I have been told to donate it to a Museum as selling it just does not seem right. It was so nice to see you do this done so well and truly full of the respect it deserves. Well done.♥️🙏🏻
THANK YOU! For....
1. Not doing a stupid 7 day "challenge".
2. Not handing out misleading info.
3. Showing factual representation.
4. Providing research,
5. Giving the origin and history of this treatment.
Its almost wrong not hearing you in tandem wit Sis on the outro, also yesss science!
They also ferment the rice water for 3 weeks before using. The acidity of the resulting water will make sure your hair & scalp absorbs the B vitamins.
Thank you. I always wondered whether soaking rice for 24 hours or overnight was enough for us to truly benefit from the water. Fermentation should take several days, not overnight. Glad to see that my education has not failed me. I wish more people would share this fact in their videos.
Came here from your vid with saf. The second you started sharing about cultural heritage, subscribed! Good on you for addressing this!!!! Also the fact you use science based facts
👏 Super excited to learn and get inspired from you!
So excited for part 2 of this. I’m a 28 year old who would love to send my little colony of grey hairs packing. Added volume would be a totally welcome bonus too.
Greys at 28? Is it genetic?
@@QueenOfTheCoast I don’t think so, maybe it’s just stress? 😝
I'm 28 and bits of grey are coming in too, I've always thought I wouldn't be the kind of person to be bothered by grey hair like the adults I saw when I was younger, but I didn't think they'd say hello at 28 or come in one at a time so there's like only 5 at a time looking like I got some lose lint in my hair.
It is genetic. My grandmother and mother and ones before them went grey early. I was 24 when I started getting grey in my hair.
The history and cultural significance of the rice water recipe and the women’s hair was so cool to learn about!! Thank you for doing that research Kayley and sharing that information with us that we likely would have missed 💜💜
I have naturally curly hair, so I’ve known about the rice water trick for a while. But damn this video really helped me up my game! Thank you SO MUCH 🙏🏻 v impressed with the amount of useful info you gave.
I love how informative and in depth this was Kayley! Love that colour on you too 😍💕💕
I would love to see an "ultimate haircare" video or series, with all the best ingredients for different hair goals, as proven by actual research. The scientific stuff is so amazing, and learning from about different cultures and methods is so interesting.
Also would love to know the best cheap but effective ways of doing something good for my hair cause I like experimenting with hairstyles, but I don't have a wealth of products or any hot tools, just some hair bands and pins. So a nice starter guide to having great hair, without needing to spend a crazy amounts of time and money on it, would also be brilliant. (Stuff like what is worth buying or not really needed, what items are usually best to spend money on and what's fine just to get the cheap option, and tips and tricks along the way cause they're always helpful)
Yaaasss Kaylee with the cultural appreciation!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 💯
I love how you paid homage to the village that started this! Great video! Great content and I appreciate the research you did to educate us. You seem genuinely happy to cover this topic and your personality really shines. Your set is cute 😍.
Kayley.
I owe you an apology. I saw your video and rolled my eyes thinking what more is there to learn about rice water it's just another trend. I am so happy I clicked. You have never lead me astray and I don't know why I doubted you. Such a well done video with new information that is truly researched and unbiased. I love the introduction and respect. You are awesome. Been watching your videos since I was in middle school and now I'm 26. Happy to have you on my hair journey..❤️
This is one of the best CZcams videos I have ever watched! I loved learning about the culture and the science. Thanks for doing all of this amazing research and sharing it!
Basically we are all saying thank you to the Chinese 🙏🏻 thank you to Kayley 🙏🏻 and right after we are making our own leave in conditioners for practically free. Heeeeeyy!! 🌾✨
I thought the comments HAD to be fake because everyone was so exaggerated about how great of a teacher you are, but I’m only halfway through, and you deserve every one of these comments. This video is excellent
I really loved your review of rice water. It is so detailed and informative. I did a little research and use rice water and ive noticed a crap ton of hair growth and its gotten thicker. I really appreciate this review/detailed study because Ive learned so much about the Yao women's culture I dont want to be a culture vulture. You really did your homework! you can tell you are very compassionate about hair. THANK YOU!
THIS IS AMAZING!! I loved everything about this video! It’s so interesting!! I would love a three part serious, the science behind it, making/using it, and maybe a month to 3 month long testing period with results!! Love your channel!!
I love how excited you are about this! I'm also excited to see how you make this and to see the results. I would love to try this myself to help reduce the amount of hair loss and to make my hair healthier. I found this to be so interesting!
I think it should also be mentioned that the red women wash their hair in cold water. We scientifically know that warm water opens up the cuticle like a pine cone which contributes to frizz and premature breakage.
I’d like to personally thank you for being so through in your scientific results of something I’ve actually used on my hair
such an interesting video! thank you for researching and presenting it so well
Yay!! Thank you!! I was SO invested in all of this!
Kayley! This was an incredible historical lesson. Thanks for educating me on this. 👍💕
Kayley! You are amazing! This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I am a FAN! so thorough, respectful, and positive. Love your vibes ❤️ can’t wait for the part 2 of this!!
Amazingly surprised with the quality of your video. It was stunning, informative, well done. Loved it !!!!
Can I correct you? Good effort but “He shou wu” is actually pronounced H-uh show wooo (less emphasis on the w in wu)! Hope that helps 👏🏼☺️
When will you post the second part?? Thank you 💋
Hey Kayley I don't know if you've ever cover hair loss/thinning/fall out, if so sorry to bug, but a video about that how to deal, prevent, products that may help recover, would be really great and appreciated! Thank you!
I do a lot of DIY fermenting at home, and I noticed something about pretty much all these videos. When you ferment something, yeast or bacteria will "eat" the sugars in the solution and produce CO2 as an off-gas. This produces visible bubbles, and can be extremely dangerous to close a lid tightly because the pressure inside the container can create a bomb. If you open the jar and it doesn't fizz or pop, there's probably not ANY fermentation going on at all. You shouldn't be using a lid anyway when fermenting anything. My suspicion is that adding the grapefruit in at the beginning hinders any fermentation because (as you pointed out) it is a natural anti-microbial. If you are wanting to create a truly fermented rice water, it might help to leave the grapefruit out until later in the week, and make sure to cover the top with some cheescloth fastened to the jar with a rubber band.
Kayley! Where is ur minty sweater from? Loving the color 😍
This was such a well-rounded review!
So glad you spoke about the heritage behind the rice water. LOVE THAT! And excited there’s a part 2!
Your enthusiasm is infectious and I enjoyed watching you. Thank you for making this video. I’ve lost SOOO much hair in the last few months that I don’t even want to go into public places.
So excited to see part 2. Thank you for sharing the wonderful culture. So amazing.
When is part two coming out????
I LOVED this video! Rice water rinses have been mentioned a lot in the curly community too but I love how you shared the cultural background that I was not aware of. And my inner science nerd loved the evidence you presented. I am anxiously awaiting part 2! 💕
Love the video kayley...it was so informative!! Waiting for part 2
Is there a part 2
I’m a huge fan of you kayley Melissa. 😀
Thank you for addressing the cultural appropriation point, I've not seen it mentioned in other videos and i feel like it's something we need to remind ourselves every once in a while : those recipes are a huge part of the cultural background and (from what i've seen) one of the biggest part of their cultural identity. I don't know if using it as westerners would harm the community but there's something about it that feels really disconnected a bit like if you took one of my family recipe and put soy sauce and germinated seeds all over it, it might work, it might taste great but it would feel... Off
You're overthinking it . Do you eat food from other cultures ? Pizza ? Thai ? Do you worry about that too ? Or do you just enjoy the food and forget the woke nonsense ?
Get a grip. You have heard about it because the Yao brilliantly market their traditions. It's a fun day trip to visit the village with the performances, though.
I love how you where so excited for the scientific part and also made it exciting. Honestly one of the best CZcams videos I’ve seen because you included the culture and made the science simple and inviting.
Kayley!!!! Sorry, had to get your attention 😁
I’m late to the party, just discovered your hair tutorials VIDs (needed help with my unruly curtain bangs 🙇🏻♀️)...but you’re way beyond your typical ‘influencer’.
Well researched, fascinating with great story telling:)
Thanks for sharing!
