@@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.

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.
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

Gosh y’all even my dumb ass got what they meant 💀 She meant that you don’t need to keep the rice grains in the rice water. I used to keep mine in but it’s not necessary lmao
"A lot of people keep the rice You dont need it at all", unfortunately that such a wrong way of putting it.

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
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.
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).
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.
never did nothing for my hair except make it shed like crazy. it was some rosemary scalp hair oil from the brand mielle that everyone swears by but it's not good
@@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 !!!!
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..
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!
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! 🥠
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 RUclipsrs about hair growth. Genetics don’t have anything to do with hair growth just hair pattern
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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 .
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.
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 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!!
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
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.
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!
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 🇮🇳
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 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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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 😊
Oh not y’all on the rice water trend 🤦🏽♀️ I remember yeeaarrss ago when the natural hair community was on this trend and it was snappin our hair off because of all the protein build up 😭
This trend was taken from Asian culture. There is a village in Asia and their women are known for using rice water. Their hair is super long and straight. The natural hair community saw the videos and decided to try it. I think people with course hair shouldn’t do this trend bc their hair is different from straight Asian hair. But it is basically just a protein treatment. Nevertheless, it tends to add too much protein depending on the porosity of the hair.
as much as I'm not the most eligible to speak up for y'all as I'm Asian, I think it's a method that works better for Asian hair specifically (out of all races, i believe). It works alright on me, and my hair is pretty thin and pin straight, but it helps my hair grow real fast.
@@worstusernameintheworld9871 That’s actually not true! I have kinky coily hair and use rice water, and it works great. What people need to realize is that _low porosity hair_ is sensitive to protein (because it takes awhile for water and products to absorb into your hair. You can tell you have low porosity hair because water just kind of sit on top of the hair strands in little beads at first rinse). Low porosity hair has mostly closed hair strand pores, thus it retains its hydration well, but it can be hard to get it to absorb anything without washing it squeaky clean first. Because of this, low porosity hair is also is prone to product build up, so protein treatments too often are _the worst_ for it. A lot of natural girlies didn’t know their porosity type yet, and it turns out a lot more coily and curly girls had medium and low porosity hair than they thought. Fyi, high porosity hair absorbs water like a sponge, then dries fast (in fast, out fast) because the pores on the hair strands are blown open. Often times, people who dye and/bleach their hair have high porosity hair (hair porosity can change depending on how it’s maintained; the roots are generally lower porosity than the ends, since the ends are older). Rice water works _great_ on high porosity hair, as the protein acts like a shield to some of those pores, which allows the hair to trap some water for awhile and resist dryness. My hair is low porosity, but I have freeform locs and only use shampoo (no condition or any cream products. Only shampoo, then coconut oil after the shower). I can get away with doing a rice water treatment 1x to 2x a month without getting build up because of my zero-build-up regimen. Loc build up is horrible for locs as they get longer, because heavier locs = traction alopecia and locs falling out at 5 years+ loc’d). So, yeah! Now you know. 😄 I learned all this from The Green Beauty’s channel. She’s a scientist and a black woman with long, loose natural hair who has many videos explaining the science behind natural hair, and she did a few videos on rice water and what it does scientifically for the hair a couple years back.
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
It really does work doctor I've been using it for about a year I swear my hair is growing I have really thick hair anyway but it is really made it a lot thicker
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.
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 get it, do you wash and rince the rice for 10 mins or do you keep the same water and just massage the rice for 10 mins? Cause after 5 rinces that rice water is gonna be real clear and it takes about a minute or 2 tops

For better results from essential oils, don't heat them to a boil. Add them once liquid cools to warm. Heat weakens essential oils.

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.
yes, rosemary is the hair growth oil
Made my hair fall out in chunks b careful
@@joansmith6844 me too I had scalp acne , I think I have a sensitive or oily scalp that's why it didn't suit me .
@@kamashakamasha1626 in experiencing that now. Should I stop? How about coconut oil and castor oil?
never did nothing for my hair except make it shed like crazy. it was some rosemary scalp hair oil from the brand mielle that everyone swears by but it's not good
@@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 !!!!
When you don't know if she's making a hair treatment or arroz con leche 😂😂
I believe arroz con leche means with milk?? No milk there
@@natab6843 The white water looks like milk
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..
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😊
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! 🥠
@@odeanlawrence196how do we tell if the hair needs protein or not? My hair is fine and fragile
How often
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 RUclipsrs about hair growth. Genetics don’t have anything to do with hair growth just hair pattern
I've been interested in trying this. This looks fairly simple.
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 ?
Many essential oils are antimicrobials, especially tea tree oil, so the rice water will never ferment.
Thanks for sharing this tip.
The magic is in the B and E vitamins 😊
The tea tree oil helps your scalp, it has antimicrobial properties
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
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.
Thanks for this! 😊
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.
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 .
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.
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.
"concoction" i find that so funnyyy
I use braids. Lol! But, I’d love to try rice water!!🥰
Bro could’ve just made horchata
I want to hear about the other ways to thicken hair as well please 😍
you andded much value Dr THANKYOU
I’m going to totally try this! 👍🏼
Rice water is nice on the face, too.
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
We need a part 2 showing us how to use it!!!
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 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??
At this point, rice can bring back the dead one 💀
Thanks Dr Youn
I like this Doctor 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭☠️☠️☠️ he is so hilarious extra and animated 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They know they can still eat the rice.. right?
I hope so tooo😭
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
Thanks for the advice😊😊❤
Don’t waste food in the house go cook it
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.
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!
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
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 🇮🇳
It works ❤ I love it
What does it do
I want to start this for a year and see how long my hair grows
Uncle roger would lose it if she just dumped all the rice was in the trash
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
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 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.
So doing thus!! I've heard great things about thus diy!!! Im 50 and so need it for my hair and face!!
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.
WHY DOES SHE POUR SO SLOW
Ig she doesn't want it to splash around idk
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 rice water for skin discoloration tkk
Just buy rice protein from handmade comsetics store and add some drops to water to rinse them.
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
May favorite shampoo and conditioner has rice milk in it. Devine!
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
Also in rice water you can soak clove then use for hair growth
Just the rice water does wonders to the hair
So Dr Youn what is your take on this?
not me expecting this to be cap...
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
Thanks doc for adding basically nothing to the discussion and just uploading someone else’s video
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
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?
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….?!😂
you can also use products w/rice water in them !!
I wanted to do side bangs but i cut on one side with to much hair 😢
What type of rice do you use? I’ve read that it makes a big difference in the type of rice, thx😊
Do you leave it out or in fridge
Rice is so versatile
Oh not y’all on the rice water trend 🤦🏽♀️ I remember yeeaarrss ago when the natural hair community was on this trend and it was snappin our hair off because of all the protein build up 😭
bc they ain’t know how to do it right. esp if they didn’t need it due to their hair porosity
No one else is allowed to do this? Jeez. This is also seen in Asian culture too..not just black culture ❤️
This trend was taken from Asian culture. There is a village in Asia and their women are known for using rice water. Their hair is super long and straight. The natural hair community saw the videos and decided to try it. I think people with course hair shouldn’t do this trend bc their hair is different from straight Asian hair. But it is basically just a protein treatment. Nevertheless, it tends to add too much protein depending on the porosity of the hair.
as much as I'm not the most eligible to speak up for y'all as I'm Asian, I think it's a method that works better for Asian hair specifically (out of all races, i believe). It works alright on me, and my hair is pretty thin and pin straight, but it helps my hair grow real fast.
@@worstusernameintheworld9871
That’s actually not true! I have kinky coily hair and use rice water, and it works great.
What people need to realize is that _low porosity hair_ is sensitive to protein (because it takes awhile for water and products to absorb into your hair. You can tell you have low porosity hair because water just kind of sit on top of the hair strands in little beads at first rinse).
Low porosity hair has mostly closed hair strand pores, thus it retains its hydration well, but it can be hard to get it to absorb anything without washing it squeaky clean first.
Because of this, low porosity hair is also is prone to product build up, so protein treatments too often are _the worst_ for it. A lot of natural girlies didn’t know their porosity type yet, and it turns out a lot more coily and curly girls had medium and low porosity hair than they thought.
Fyi, high porosity hair absorbs water like a sponge, then dries fast (in fast, out fast) because the pores on the hair strands are blown open. Often times, people who dye and/bleach their hair have high porosity hair (hair porosity can change depending on how it’s maintained; the roots are generally lower porosity than the ends, since the ends are older).
Rice water works _great_ on high porosity hair, as the protein acts like a shield to some of those pores, which allows the hair to trap some water for awhile and resist dryness.
My hair is low porosity, but I have freeform locs and only use shampoo (no condition or any cream products. Only shampoo, then coconut oil after the shower). I can get away with doing a rice water treatment 1x to 2x a month without getting build up because of my zero-build-up regimen.
Loc build up is horrible for locs as they get longer, because heavier locs = traction alopecia and locs falling out at 5 years+ loc’d).
So, yeah! Now you know. 😄 I learned all this from The Green Beauty’s channel. She’s a scientist and a black woman with long, loose natural hair who has many videos explaining the science behind natural hair, and she did a few videos on rice water and what it does scientifically for the hair a couple years back.
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
It really does work doctor I've been using it for about a year I swear my hair is growing I have really thick hair anyway but it is really made it a lot thicker
And black-er!!!😉
How many times to apply it in a week or month?
Is this good for thinning at the crown?
rice is life.
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.
Tell us you don't know anything about fermentation without telling us you don't know anything about fermentation
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
Ok but what if the rice water has been sitting for a year, can/should I still use it?
Do you rediluted with water. Or you use straight
I don’t get it, do you wash and rince the rice for 10 mins or do you keep the same water and just massage the rice for 10 mins? Cause after 5 rinces that rice water is gonna be real clear and it takes about a minute or 2 tops
It's this good for Africa America women cause of the course of our hair
Rice works but depends on porosity
Someone has been watching black and brown RUclips and tiktoc
Surely heating the essential will destroy the benefits? Thoughts?
