Strengthen your hair, improve and maintain elasticity, reduce surface friction and grow long, silky smooth hair with this rice water hair rinse recipe!
Chinese royalty have been washing their hair with rice water since time immemorial. The Huanglo women (who claim the longest hair in the world) still rely on it today.
Ingredients:
1 cup of rice (any type)
1L jar & 500ml filtered/spring water
Method:
- Rinse rice to clean, discard rinse water
- Add washed rice to your 1L jar
- Fill jar with filtered water, seal and shake
- Let it ferment for 24-48 hours (you should see little bubbles in the jar)
- Strain the rice from the water, reserving the water (you can still use this rice to cook) and store water in the fridge.
Dilute the rice water with 1-2 cups of water for each cup of rice water - if you have oily hair, dilute it more. Apply to your hair over a bowl, reusing the water until your hair is saturated. Then rinse out with plain water.
We generally also do this after we have used shampoo, and before conditioning.
We like to use it one or twice a week!
