@@laibaaziz5901 Hi, my curls range from 3A to 3C, and while I have a ton of hair, the texture is very fine. It's also very low porosity. I can't put oils in it, or it gets weighed down. I do use Shea Moisture conditioners and shampoos for the moisture aspect, and if I go through a period of time where I moisturize it too much due to its texture, I use rice water to help with strength, because it will split and break easily after a certain length without.
Dr Shereene Idriss mentions one study about rice water & hair growth in one of her YT shorts. The study claims that rice water maintains the hair follice in its growth stage, this helping with hair growth.
, Rice extracts are a popular skincare ingredient due to their many benefits for the skin. They help reduce UV damage, lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, dead skin cells, and increase skin ceramide production. Rice peptides can also increase collagen synthesis and lighten skin. say kudos to Google 😌
@@marichu899i would occasionally save my rice water when making rice (usually the 3rd or 4th rinse) and save that in the fridge. Then that evening, after washing my face, i splash my face with the rice water as the last step of my cleanse and let it dry for like 30sec and then do my skincare. There are also lots of rice-infused skin care products in Korean and Japanese skincare. Helps to soften and brighten your skin.
that is not how you make rice water. as an African what you washed off of the rice was the dirt and chemicals from processing. you don't want that in your hair. you put the washed rice in a jar with NEW water and let that sit for a week w/ orange peel
@@marshmelow1 yes too powerful not every doc or person is saying this .. so make sure it’s organic of course Listen I can only give you my experience- I do have longer type hair I’m healthy , workout 7 days a week I did use it everyday used it right out of the bottle only on my scalp where there is thinning- rubbed/ massaged it in w my fingers well - but I did not mix it with anything … You are to mix with a carrier oil - jojoba oil or aloe vera both work great) for a moisture-rich leave-on treatment. Or shampoos "I recommend putting three to five drops into your shampoo before you use your shampoo," Massage it into your scalp, and leave it on there for about five minutes, condition as usual remember trick here is to Always use a carrier oil to dilute the potency (hair care products-oils) What I did - was use it alone , I rubbed it in my Scalp , pulled my hair up went to work out left it in with out rinsing This I think was wrong and to strong and way too much .. trust me It did not happen immediately but 3 weeks later I had chunks of hair I mean chunks fall out … it freaked me out enough to never use it again … took a while before my hair grew back
Just wondering, maybe hair types might have to do with it? BOTH of you - what kind of hair do you have? Like, super thick and kinky like a black person typically has, or thin and straight to wavy, like for a white person? I have definitely heard that a lot of things vary between those hair types - for example, if a white person wears protective hairstyles like box braids too much, their hair will fall out because it's not meant for their hair.
@@norM_ystical I had very thin fine hair and I always wanted thick hair plus I had gotten sick and had to do chemo for 6 months so I started reading a different things to try and rosemary was always in mostly all the oils or mixers so I decided to try rosemary and I put it in my shampoo because my family couldn't stand the smell. The castor oil solution started basically the same way.

@@tinamendoza6689ersonally, I put it in a bowl and dip my hair and scalp in it a bunch of times after my shower. And for me, it works better to not wash it out, just style and go. But I think most people wash it out.
I find it works better if you do ferment it, but it's not necessary, especially not for 2 days, I ferment mine for 12 hours, you can smell when it's ready
"A lot of people keep the rice You dont need it at all", unfortunately that such a wrong way of putting it. Many would take it as just throw the rice away you got what you wanted from it, the rest is useless. 🤦🏻♀️ even after 20+yrs of witnessing this, I still can't get over the fact HOW EASILY people throw away perfectly good and edible food. It always makes my heart drop.
She means that you don’t need the rice to stay in the water to use it. You can set aside the rice and cook it without having to have it in the water for the hair. She is just explaining that, you misunderstood. I hope that helps
since ancient times we used it and those generations specially my mom's time all their hairs are shiny long black and gorgeous. besides these there are so many ingredients locally available leaves and fruits and citrus leave... so many and we boil it in clay pot and leave for few days fermentation. It smells so damn good and it's unique smell stays on that hair. Now some ingredients are hard to find but still we made sometimes and use it.
Smells GOOD??? When I’ve bought fermented rice water, I wouldn’t say it smells good at all! Earthy in a way, ok. But not in a GOOD way. In a FERMENTED way. Like other fermented foods: Kim chi, pickles, beer (think old beer esp yick), sauerkraut. Not exactly the smell I want perfuming my person (though yes the smell rinses off).

@@palestar828 same like I try to tell folks my experience it’s not good I had chunks fall out scared me so bad .. why r Others like u & I not mentioning truth .. it’s not good folks don’t go it !!!!
For those who need this. Wash your hair first. Then soak your hair in the rice water and let it dry in. Adding orange pills is a good idea for the smell and because of the vitamins within the pills (however minute in this quantity). I personally recommend a light mixture of tea tree oil, peppermint oil, castor oil, and extra virgin olive oil. To add to your hair/scalp care routine. Also cut down as much as you can on shampoo and conditioner as these strip your hair, leave your scalp dry, and add unnecessary chemicals/alcohols etc. I personally have completely given up shampoo and conditioner in place of washing my hair every week or two with a simple tallow balm soap. Same for washing my face/beard.
This recipe, likewise all of them, is actually a PROTEIN treatment, bottom line, so always be careful how you use it. Too much can actually turn your hair into a straw-like texture; which could cause your hair to just snap and break! Don't use it too often. It is a hair strengthener.
More people should mention this. I WRECKED my hair using it just once. Made my hair brittle and rough like straw. Never had so much breakage. Its only really good for damaged or very porous hair
This is true which is why the solution should be diluted after it ferments &it should be tested on a small section &people should be aware if their hair is protein sensitive.
You want to make it even better. Go ahead and put in half and you're going to make this with that as well.. I love this and will use it all week.. 6 cups of water bring it to a boil. Once it reaches a boil shut it off. Put six large sprigs of rosemary. Put the lid on leave it on go to bed. In the morning put that in a spray bottle. Everyone vitamin E helps bring blood to the surface of the skin It also helps the hair follicle.. peppermint oil specifically very good. I just use one drop that's all I need.. You can put that in your rosemary wash. You can use the rice at the end of your day and the Rosemary in the beginning. Or vice versa... Anything to help me wake up. And just that little bit of peppermint oil feels so cooling and nice on your head..
Don't *overuse* rice water on your hair however, especially if you tend to have a hair type prone to drying out. It technically at the base of its ingredients is starch, citric acid and any added essential oils. This could further dry out your hair, while also causing buildup or irritation if you're sensitive to essential oils or even things that are acidic in nature. Be sure to conduct further research into your specific hair type and what's most beneficial for its health. Too much of anything has potential to become a bad thing.
Yes, 100% right! In my comment I pointed out the importance of understanding that rice is a protein and if your hair doesn't need much protein, you are walking into a World of problems because, like you said, it is a hair strengthens the hair, so too much of this rice water can be detrimental! It can snap and break your hair like a twig! It's reccomended to use it just once or twice a month, but if your hair really needs it, once every two weeks. I once used protein in my hair without any true understanding of how to use it and my hair literally fried to chrisp!! In horror 😱 All I saw was my hair crumbling to the floor! And the sound was horrible, it was like listening to someone eating a bag of Chips/Chrisps! 🥠
Kayley Melissa has a whole video (maybe 2?) about the history, science, and how-to for this! Highly recommend checking it out for anyone who is curious!
No you’re supposed to wash off the rice until the water is clear then you’re supposed to put the rice with some fresh water in the mason jar put some orange peels in there and let it ferment for a week this is how you make rice water the correct way or another alternative is you can actually go ahead and cook the rice and then right before the water starts boiling out you would catch some of the water and you could also use it that way.
Massage your scalp with organic cold pressed castor oil before every hair wash. If you wash your hair everyday( try to wash it less, even every other day is ok, but if you can just wash your hair 1-2 times a week that will help) then just do this 2 times a week. Brush your hair very well to get the natural oils dispersed throughout your hair and start the stimulation of the scalp. Add your castor oil to your scalp and start massaging it into the scalp. Turn your head upside down and continue for 10 minutes. Raise your head back up and massage all over for another 5 to 10 minutes. Distribute what's left on your hands and hair down the rest of your length. Add your favorite natural cold pressed hair oil to your ends and add a shower cap and bonnet or hair scarf. Wait anywhere from 1 hr - overnight, then wash your hair twice as usual, Cleanse the scalp very well. Follow with your conditioner and hair mask, while avoiding your scalp and first few inches of hair. Let it do it's thing while you finsh up showering. Then rinse with cool water. Oiling, massage, not washing hair every day, [daily brushing to stimulate scalp:distribute the natural oils:remove any pollutants from the day], and shampooing with scalp focus, conditioning with hair focus. This will all keep your hair thick or help it to regain thickness and length. Hair Skin Nails vitamins are good. A daily multivitamin Biotin and silica can also be good for not only hair, but nails & skin. Hydrate with water
No rice or oils or anything else you put on your hair/scalp will make your hair grow faster. The speed at which your hair grows is determined by your overall health, biology and your genetics. If you use something and notice a difference its most likely because it’s moisturizing your hair and reducing breakage. A change in your diet could also increase hair growth but that’s only if you were lacking in vitamins before. It’s science.
Actually rice and oils help with hair health. Funny how you are using the same talking points as black CZcamsrs about hair growth. Genetics don’t have anything to do with hair growth just hair pattern
It really is wonderful but if you have very kinky curly hair make sure that you deep condition every time when using this because this is very high in proteins.
It just rice starch. Doesn’t matter how much water you put in, you can actually use a lot more than that as it’s still rice starch. Why people always trying to make things sound fancy, just call it what it is… rice starch 🤷🏼♀️. Edit…. Also rice starch and potatoes starch is not only good for humans but it’s also amazing for helping your plants grow. Now I know there’s a lot of people that never listen and will argue with me that I’m wrong. So to this I say that if you don’t believe me then just Google it. And Google will explain how good rice/potatoes starch is for plants/flowers.
I spray it in my dry hair , leave it for 45 minutes then shampoo and condition as normal . I don’t cook it , I take 1 cup of rice to 1 cup of water And let it soak for 2 days then put the rice water in a spray bottle .
This makes your hair healthier.. if you want to grow your hair a slightly faster try massaging your scalp and shower with cold or maybe luke warm water
Hey you should rinse rice a few times before taking out the rice water because they spray a lot of pesticides and fertilizers during production. I don't think it's good at all if you use rice water without washing it a few times. Even then I doubt we not being affected. I don't know about other countries but my country surely uses lots of pesticides and fertilizers.
@@palestar828 Hi, just gonna be annoying for a sec;;; Wasting food (or, y'know, stuff in general) is a really really bad idea, I believe... If you don't like eating rice, I mean, you can maybe find another way to use it? Like, maybe as a phone emergency kit once it dries out, or you can stuff a plushie with it, or you can make some sort of craft, or maybe a noisemaker, idk... Just, do whatever, as long as you're not exactly putting it to waste;;; ALSO, if you want to cook it, first off, while I don't know much about this, I'm pretty sure that you have to add the water back, so it has enough for cooking, at least. Just assuming from what little I know; I mean, ramen is disgustingly dry without enough water, so anything else boiled might work the same, right? Probably not. But, moving on lol. There's so many different recipes! You don't have to just force white rice down your throat! If you add a lot to the rice, you can maybe make yellow rice for tacos, or you can add some stuff to make sushi... (for sushi, you will need other specific materials though! Also, it does get kind of tedious;;; but, just a few rolls can fill you up! Compacting food just gets so surprising to me...) probably more stuff I can't think of. Hell, if you just wanna throw some random stuff together, you can toss it in as an extra ingredient in a stew or stir fry or whatever else is made out of laziness lol.
Some things that actually helped to control my hair fall include: (1) I discontinued wearing ponytails because it leds to tension breakage. (2) I began massaging my scalp twice a week with liitleextra cocoonnion hair oil while leaning forward & holding my head upside down to allow blood flow to the scalp. (3) Protecting my head while moving out to shield my hair from dust and pollution. (4) Using mild shampoo again from liittleextra only to cleanse my hair.
Just massage oil into your hair every Friday sleep with it on overnight and clean it out on Saturday massaging your hair properly while shampooing it's good for hair growth and strength
I do mine differently! I get rice and cover with water. I smoosh it around with my fingers to stir if you will, and cover with plastic wrap. I leave in a warm room and after 2 days its fermented!! I seperate the rice from the water Throw out rice and keep water. It can be stored in the fridge for up to a week. I wash my hair with shampoo and rinse. Then i soak my scalp in the bowel with the warmed up fermented rice water and I massage my scalp over the large bowel or container so i don’t waste any of the rice water for 5/10 minutes. I leave the rice water on my scalp, i don’t wash it off at all!! This process helped me to grow my hair over 4 inches in just a few weeks!! I was amazed 😮 Now a few years on, im going to start this process again because I have hair thinning 😢 and im a woman . Will help with hair loss!! Im confident of this!! When I was doing this for length, i noticed new hair growth also!! So im confident that it will help my hair to thicken out again!!
No matter what you out on your hair is not going to make it grow. You guys do know that hair grows from inside the scalp right now on too of the scalp. Its what you put in the body that promotes growth and genetics.
I tired this a long time ago but no citrus and no boiling. I just fermented it for two day let sit in my hair for 1hr i put my hair up in a shower cap also while sitting for the 1hr. It worked for me
I don’t follow her instructions but I do rice water in my hair for 4 years. I don’t usually do short hair before because my hair just wave or fly away look (I don’t know hiw to translate it into english) and it causes my split ends up but when I start rice water, I can now totally rock the short hair look cause it makes my hair healthier and it prevents me from split ends. I still have the slightly some curly hair but the important thing is I don’t get split ends anymore. All I do is wash the rice I’m about to eat and remove those water that you use to clean the rice and you can store it in the fridge for the last rinse after you conditioner or just use it right away if you don’t want cold rice water. I use it everyday before, but you can use it whenever you’ll eat rice so the rice wouldn’t go to trash
Essential oils work just as well. I mix fresh herbs when I can or oils when I don't. Mix them with avocado oil as a carrier. Put on at night for a few days. Keep it in the fridge. It's good for a week when using fresh herbs. Longer if using essential oils.
I don't know if it was the "rice water" that was claimed or if it was chemicals, but I used a spray on my long curly hair that was feeling a little dry, and the spray ruined it. My hair stuck together like glue and turned into knots, I had to cut all of my hair off.
This depends on the hair type but generally rosemary water does the same thing. Also, using rice water too often can cause protein overload on your hair which can damage your hair very badly. I just make some rosemary water by adding water and some sprigs of rosemary (you can also add ginger) to a pot and boil for about 20 min or until the water changes colour. Put this in a spray bottle and pray on your scalp every day. Massage it into your scalp and then just let it dry. You don't wash it out or anything after and it doesn't leave any scent. This works really well for me. Do your research guys!
Probably is bad but I just use the rice water plain. Like no boil, I just pour it directly on my hair before washing or leave it in my shampoo. This is not cap, it works, I've been doing this since I was 17. I'm 24 now, this helps your hair grow super fast (idk about thickening though). You will see it within the week
Hey Dr I follow the skin care routine you suggested earlier on your channel and it has worked like miracle for me , can you please provide a hair care routine as well with products easily available in other countries under budget. Love from India 🇮🇳
You aren't supposed to heat it as it kills the good stuff that's good for your hair. You ferment the water with the citrus peels for about 3 days to a week I don't make this very often anymore because I found a protein treatment that's amazing . But I wash the rice, I blend it in water , leave to ferment with the peels for 3 days.
This is actually one of the things thay helps prevent hair fall as well. There is a lot of B vitamins in rice which helps to strengthen the hair follicle amd prevent falling
I dont know what it actually does… just love that incredible glow!!! they just feel fresh washed for 2 or 3 days. One negative point is my roots getting pretty greasy..
it does not make your hair grow ... it prevents breaking which makes the hair stronger and healthier which improves the hair from things like dye , heat etc
Also please be carful with rice water I heard that since your hair isn’t fully used to it it may cause some hair damage so just don’t add it in your hair a lot
I don’t boil mine but I do rinse it well and all rosemary and orange. I ferment mine on the counter top 2-3 days on the summer and about 5 days in the winter
I'm so sorry, but if possible can u answer few questions? How frequently do we apply it(like once or twice a week?), and for how long can we store it in the fridge? Also for how long do u leave it on the hair? And one last question do we need to shampoo our hair every time after we apply this rice water? Sorry for asking these many questions, but I don't know whom else to ask😅..
There is a better recipe and more precise instructions for this water on Peppy's blog! One more ingredient and you can eliminate store bought shampoo if you like 😊

In my comment I pointed out the importance of understanding that rice is a protein and if your hair doesn't need much protein, you are walking into a World of problems because, like you said, it is a hair strengthens the hair, so too much of this rice water can be detrimental! It can snap and break your hair like a twig! It's reccomended to use it just once or twice a month, but if your hair really needs it, once every two weeks.
I once used protein in my hair without any true understanding of how to use it and my hair literally fried to chrisp!! In horror 😱 All I saw was my hair crumbling to the floor! And the sound was horrible, it was like listening to someone eating a bag of Chips/Chrisps! 🥠
@@odeanlawrence196how do we tell if the hair needs protein or not? My hair is fine and fragile
How often
Kayley Melissa has a whole video (maybe 2?) about the history, science, and how-to for this! Highly recommend checking it out for anyone who is curious!
Thank youuuu! I'll definitely check out the videos😊
No you’re supposed to wash off the rice until the water is clear then you’re supposed to put the rice with some fresh water in the mason jar put some orange peels in there and let it ferment for a week this is how you make rice water the correct way or another alternative is you can actually go ahead and cook the rice and then right before the water starts boiling out you would catch some of the water and you could also use it that way.
I definitely agree with you, Tasheana. 👍
Please make a video with other ways to thicken hair!
Massage your scalp with organic cold pressed castor oil before every hair wash. If you wash your hair everyday( try to wash it less, even every other day is ok, but if you can just wash your hair 1-2 times a week that will help) then just do this 2 times a week.
Brush your hair very well to get the natural oils dispersed throughout your hair and start the stimulation of the scalp. Add your castor oil to your scalp and start massaging it into the scalp. Turn your head upside down and continue for 10 minutes. Raise your head back up and massage all over for another 5 to 10 minutes. Distribute what's left on your hands and hair down the rest of your length. Add your favorite natural cold pressed hair oil to your ends and add a shower cap and bonnet or hair scarf. Wait anywhere from 1 hr - overnight, then wash your hair twice as usual, Cleanse the scalp very well. Follow with your conditioner and hair mask, while avoiding your scalp and first few inches of hair. Let it do it's thing while you finsh up showering. Then rinse with cool water.
Oiling, massage, not washing hair every day, [daily brushing to stimulate scalp:distribute the natural oils:remove any pollutants from the day], and shampooing with scalp focus, conditioning with hair focus. This will all keep your hair thick or help it to regain thickness and length.
Hair Skin Nails vitamins are good.
A daily multivitamin
Biotin and silica can also be good for not only hair, but nails & skin.
Hydrate with water
Saitama rn: shut up and take my money!
No rice or oils or anything else you put on your hair/scalp will make your hair grow faster. The speed at which your hair grows is determined by your overall health, biology and your genetics. If you use something and notice a difference its most likely because it’s moisturizing your hair and reducing breakage. A change in your diet could also increase hair growth but that’s only if you were lacking in vitamins before. It’s science.
It's not for hair growth. It's for hair health.
@@delishme2 Well the person in the tiktok said for hair growth so…
Actually rice and oils help with hair health. Funny how you are using the same talking points as black CZcamsrs about hair growth. Genetics don’t have anything to do with hair growth just hair pattern
It really is wonderful but if you have very kinky curly hair make sure that you deep condition every time when using this because this is very high in proteins.
How do u ferment the rice water? Do u keep it in fridge
It just rice starch. Doesn’t matter how much water you put in, you can actually use a lot more than that as it’s still rice starch. Why people always trying to make things sound fancy, just call it what it is… rice starch 🤷🏼♀️.
Edit…. Also rice starch and potatoes starch is not only good for humans but it’s also amazing for helping your plants grow. Now I know there’s a lot of people that never listen and will argue with me that I’m wrong. So to this I say that if you don’t believe me then just Google it. And Google will explain how good rice/potatoes starch is for plants/flowers.
But how do you use it?? Before shampoo? After shampoo? Soak? Or rinse?
I spray it in my dry hair , leave it for 45 minutes then shampoo and condition as normal . I don’t cook it , I take 1 cup of rice to 1 cup of water And let it soak for 2 days then put the rice water in a spray bottle .
@@heatherwarner2603 thank you hun! I have terrible hair loss xxx😊
Fermented rice water actually has natural saponins. So I’ve always mixed it with my shampoo.
The magic is in the B and E vitamins 😊
Many essential oils are antimicrobials, especially tea tree oil, so the rice water will never ferment.
Thanks for sharing this tip.
Rice water is nice on the face, too.
This makes your hair healthier.. if you want to grow your hair a slightly faster try massaging your scalp and shower with cold or maybe luke warm water
This is literally liquid gold and I swear by it my hair has never been better from using this!!!!!❤
What kind of rice do you use? How often do you use it? Girl I need your help lol.
How often do u use it ?
Hey you should rinse rice a few times before taking out the rice water because they spray a lot of pesticides and fertilizers during production. I don't think it's good at all if you use rice water without washing it a few times. Even then I doubt we not being affected. I don't know about other countries but my country surely uses lots of pesticides and fertilizers.
I wonder…is there organic rice?
@@Propfaqs yeah I think there surely will be. We would have to pick such rice brands carefully then
The tea tree oil helps your scalp, it has antimicrobial properties
But that rice was cooked afterwards & eaten tho right😮💨
Yea I think so:)
PROBABLY THROWN OUT AND WASTED like she said some people keep the rice, but I don't
@@palestar828 she didn't say that though. she said you don't need it at all, meaning you don't need to use it with the water on your hair.
@@palestar828 Hi, just gonna be annoying for a sec;;;
Wasting food (or, y'know, stuff in general) is a really really bad idea, I believe... If you don't like eating rice, I mean, you can maybe find another way to use it? Like, maybe as a phone emergency kit once it dries out, or you can stuff a plushie with it, or you can make some sort of craft, or maybe a noisemaker, idk...
Just, do whatever, as long as you're not exactly putting it to waste;;;
ALSO, if you want to cook it, first off, while I don't know much about this, I'm pretty sure that you have to add the water back, so it has enough for cooking, at least. Just assuming from what little I know; I mean, ramen is disgustingly dry without enough water, so anything else boiled might work the same, right? Probably not. But, moving on lol. There's so many different recipes! You don't have to just force white rice down your throat! If you add a lot to the rice, you can maybe make yellow rice for tacos, or you can add some stuff to make sushi... (for sushi, you will need other specific materials though! Also, it does get kind of tedious;;; but, just a few rolls can fill you up! Compacting food just gets so surprising to me...) probably more stuff I can't think of. Hell, if you just wanna throw some random stuff together, you can toss it in as an extra ingredient in a stew or stir fry or whatever else is made out of laziness lol.
@@palestar828 You need to pay more attention, she said you don’t need to keep the grains with the water.
Some things that actually helped to control my hair fall include: (1) I discontinued wearing ponytails because it leds to tension breakage. (2) I began massaging my scalp twice a week with liitleextra cocoonnion hair oil while leaning forward & holding my head upside down to allow blood flow to the scalp. (3) Protecting my head while moving out to shield my hair from dust and pollution. (4) Using mild shampoo again from liittleextra only to cleanse my hair.
They know they can still eat the rice.. right?
I hope so tooo😭
I've been interested in trying this. This looks fairly simple.
Just massage oil into your hair every Friday sleep with it on overnight and clean it out on Saturday massaging your hair properly while shampooing it's good for hair growth and strength
I use braids. Lol! But, I’d love to try rice water!!🥰
I used rice water to grow my undercut back out and I think Ts really works that was 4 years ago and I use it twice a month .
Thanks for this! 😊
No way!!! I thought for sure you’d say cap😮
Same but anyways it works because I used to use it and my hair is lower bra strap length
I do mine differently!
I get rice and cover with water. I smoosh it around with my fingers to stir if you will, and cover with plastic wrap.
I leave in a warm room and after 2 days its fermented!!
I seperate the rice from the water
Throw out rice and keep water.
It can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
I wash my hair with shampoo and rinse. Then i soak my scalp in the bowel with the warmed up fermented rice water and I massage my scalp over the large bowel or container so i don’t waste any of the rice water for 5/10 minutes.
I leave the rice water on my scalp, i don’t wash it off at all!!
This process helped me to grow my hair over 4 inches in just a few weeks!! I was amazed 😮
Now a few years on, im going to start this process again because I have hair thinning 😢 and im a woman .
Will help with hair loss!! Im confident of this!!
When I was doing this for length, i noticed new hair growth also!! So im confident that it will help my hair to thicken out again!!
how has your hair journey gone since then?? any updates??
We need a part 2 showing us how to use it!!!
No matter what you out on your hair is not going to make it grow. You guys do know that hair grows from inside the scalp right now on too of the scalp. Its what you put in the body that promotes growth and genetics.
I want to hear about the other ways to thicken hair as well please 😍
I tired this a long time ago but no citrus and no boiling. I just fermented it for two day let sit in my hair for 1hr i put my hair up in a shower cap also while sitting for the 1hr. It worked for me
you andded much value Dr THANKYOU
I don’t follow her instructions but I do rice water in my hair for 4 years. I don’t usually do short hair before because my hair just wave or fly away look (I don’t know hiw to translate it into english) and it causes my split ends up but when I start rice water, I can now totally rock the short hair look cause it makes my hair healthier and it prevents me from split ends. I still have the slightly some curly hair but the important thing is I don’t get split ends anymore.
All I do is wash the rice I’m about to eat and remove those water that you use to clean the rice and you can store it in the fridge for the last rinse after you conditioner or just use it right away if you don’t want cold rice water. I use it everyday before, but you can use it whenever you’ll eat rice so the rice wouldn’t go to trash
I use rice water for skin discoloration tkk
Essential oils work just as well. I mix fresh herbs when I can or oils when I don't. Mix them with avocado oil as a carrier. Put on at night for a few days. Keep it in the fridge. It's good for a week when using fresh herbs. Longer if using essential oils.
At this point, rice can bring back the dead one 💀
I don't know if it was the "rice water" that was claimed or if it was chemicals, but I used a spray on my long curly hair that was feeling a little dry, and the spray ruined it. My hair stuck together like glue and turned into knots, I had to cut all of my hair off.
Theres no reason to have to cut it off. Some warm water and hair conditioner would have easily fixed the knotting and removed the starch.
I’m going to totally try this! 👍🏼
I like this Doctor 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭☠️☠️☠️ he is so hilarious extra and animated 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Dr Youn
"concoction" i find that so funnyyy
Indonesian use coconut oil for hair. Massage your scalp with coconut oil, leave it for 10-15 minutes, then wash.
It’s hard to wash out
It's not really fermenting because you destroy the yeast when you heat it on the stove. So there is no need to just let it sit for three days
Wait so does he say if it's true or not?
He signals and mouths right at the end "fact".
no. this video is pointless
the nutrients are good.
The starches... (the stuff that the water white) isnt all that good for hair.
can lead to really strong buildup.
This depends on the hair type but generally rosemary water does the same thing. Also, using rice water too often can cause protein overload on your hair which can damage your hair very badly. I just make some rosemary water by adding water and some sprigs of rosemary (you can also add ginger) to a pot and boil for about 20 min or until the water changes colour. Put this in a spray bottle and pray on your scalp every day. Massage it into your scalp and then just let it dry. You don't wash it out or anything after and it doesn't leave any scent. This works really well for me. Do your research guys!
So Dr Youn what is your take on this?
Uncle roger would lose it if she just dumped all the rice was in the trash
I want to start this for a year and see how long my hair grows
Probably is bad but I just use the rice water plain. Like no boil, I just pour it directly on my hair before washing or leave it in my shampoo. This is not cap, it works, I've been doing this since I was 17. I'm 24 now, this helps your hair grow super fast (idk about thickening though). You will see it within the week
Hey Dr I follow the skin care routine you suggested earlier on your channel and it has worked like miracle for me , can you please provide a hair care routine as well with products easily available in other countries under budget. Love from India 🇮🇳
Bro could’ve just made horchata
You aren't supposed to heat it as it kills the good stuff that's good for your hair. You ferment the water with the citrus peels for about 3 days to a week
I don't make this very often anymore because I found a protein treatment that's amazing .
But I wash the rice, I blend it in water , leave to ferment with the peels for 3 days.
What’s the protein treatment you’re using which is amazing? Please share!
Do u leave it in the refrigerator or at room temperature?
Thanks for the advice😊😊❤
This is actually one of the things thay helps prevent hair fall as well. There is a lot of B vitamins in rice which helps to strengthen the hair follicle amd prevent falling
I dont know what it actually does… just love that incredible glow!!! they just feel fresh washed for 2 or 3 days. One negative point is my roots getting pretty greasy..
it does not make your hair grow ... it prevents breaking which makes the hair stronger and healthier which improves the hair from things like dye , heat etc
Just the rice water does wonders to the hair
Thanks doc for adding basically nothing to the discussion and just uploading someone else’s video
So doing thus!! I've heard great things about thus diy!!! Im 50 and so need it for my hair and face!!
What type of rice do you use? I’ve read that it makes a big difference in the type of rice, thx😊
Also in rice water you can soak clove then use for hair growth
WHY DOES SHE POUR SO SLOW
Ig she doesn't want it to splash around idk
Don’t waste food in the house go cook it
Will it give the same results with brown rice?
Rice is so versatile
If you only need rice starch, can you also use rice flour? 🤔
May favorite shampoo and conditioner has rice milk in it. Devine!
Also please be carful with rice water I heard that since your hair isn’t fully used to it it may cause some hair damage so just don’t add it in your hair a lot
Does it matter the type or brand of rice you should use?
It works ❤ I love it
What does it do
rice is life.
Rice is truely the best for fixing everything
Surely heating the essential will destroy the benefits? Thoughts?
Do you leave it out or in fridge
Did she wash the orange well before adding it to the pot?
Is it good for alopecia?
Is it good for a low or high porosity hair
Can the same procedure use for skin care??
For how many days can we store it?
I don’t boil mine but I do rinse it well and all rosemary and orange. I ferment mine on the counter top 2-3 days on the summer and about 5 days in the winter
Just buy rice protein from handmade comsetics store and add some drops to water to rinse them.
FACT. Tried it. Scared me silly how much it worked.
I'm so sorry, but if possible can u answer few questions?
How frequently do we apply it(like once or twice a week?), and for how long can we store it in the fridge?
Also for how long do u leave it on the hair? And one last question do we need to shampoo our hair every time after we apply this rice water?
Sorry for asking these many questions, but I don't know whom else to ask😅..
you can also use products w/rice water in them !!
There is a better recipe and more precise instructions for this water on Peppy's blog! One more ingredient and you can eliminate store bought shampoo if you like 😊
Can u share link to blog?
And that ingredient would be….?!😂
not me expecting this to be cap...
