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.

    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.

    THIS is why I adore Kayley's videos!! They're fun to watch because Kayley is just so obsessed with hair it's adorable, but they're also backed up by scientific evidence. At the age of five my hair was only chin-length and had never been cut, and even though it got A LOT thicker over time, it has always been super slow to grow. Plus, I've now started dyeing it (semi-permanent colour & minimal bleach for highlights, but hair dye nonetheless) so I'm really intrigued as to if this could help with both length and it's overall health too. Can't wait for more videos on this! 🖤 xx

    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!!

    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 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!

    • @Meliasaurus
      @Meliasaurus 3 года назад +1

      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
      @mandiwolfe6631 3 года назад +3

      @@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.

    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!
