Rice water is BEST on relax hair cuz relax hair lacks protein and the bonds are broken...so the rice water is Like breastmilk to relax Hair. 🌻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💚
I just started my rice water journey in April 2022, after recently seeing these videos surface again. I wash my hair weekly and committed to using rice water twice a month and will share an update in December. Like you, the shedding stopped immediately and my hair feels extremely soft. I'm allowing my rice water to ferment for several weeks before use. My hair had grown to bra strap length, but due to the unexpected death of my father, stress, long work hours, and COVID-19, it came out considerably. I use great products and have consistent hair routines in place. I'm hopeful for successful and restoration of length results. Thanks for sharing this amazing video. Blessings! ❤️
stupid question, is it fermenting all days in the refrigerator or is it some days in and out of the fridge? Some many people do it differently. Just wonder how you do it.
I make several batches at one time and place them in a dark place (my pantry) for several weeks to months at a time to ferment. The smell is horrible, but I don't care if I'm going to get the desired results. It's October and I have experienced growth and thickness. I will continue to use Jasmine rice water twice a month surpassing December and will continue for a year. I wish we could post pixs here, but considering it only cost a little time to incorporate into my hair routines, I will stick with it. Wishing everyone well. ❤️
Praise 777 Always I didn’t try it for hair growth, as I mentioned in the video. So there would be no need for before and after photos in this video. However, I did eventually do a hair growth challenge using rice water. It’s up on my channel so feel free to check it out - before and after clips included.
Don't worry sis. I wasn't always with long hair as an adult. Over the years i had damaged my hair with relaxers and other vices. However, since I've been using the rice water treatment my hair has grown thicket and became very strong. It Works👍🏽
Wow! I tried this after I permed my hair yesterday. My rice water fermented for about 36 hours. I permed my hair. I took photos of the hair I gathered that after the perm. I generously sprayed the rice water onto my (less porous hair). I easily combed the rice water through my hair. Tied a small bun at my nape. Then, waited 30 minutes with a plastic cap covering my hair. As I rinsed out the rice water, the silky texture of my hair was evident. Due to the porosity of my hair, I used a conditioner. Subsequent to rinsing out the conditioner, I used the small end of the comb to pull my hair into another bun to air dry. After it dried, my hair is silky smooth, shiny, and bouncy! Thank you!!! This morning I only lost one strand of hair. This after when I combed my hair after a nap, there wasn’t any hair. My brush is still clean! Nothing in the sink or on the countertop!!! I believe this the solution to strengthening my hair!!!! Thank you!!!
I used it as a leave in every other day for a week it makes my new growth soft and my hair use to shed a lot as well I hardly see hair coming out now and my hair grew a Lil n my hair is Alot thicker body for days
It works! I didn't watch her video for that. I stumbled upon it. A friend told me to go to Ask Debbie on RUclips and she shows pictures, etc. I am now a user and it works! In two weeks, 1/2 inch has grown out. On top of my newly relaxed hair. Plus, it's gotten stronger.
There a a LOT of relaxed hair health RUclipsrs. Ppl need to stop assuming that healthy hair means natural hair. I know a lot of women with healthy RELAXED hair.
Also alot of us relaxed girls don't have a channel (like me). Natural nazis have pushed us a way. BUT I have seen several relaxed channels popping up so that's good!
I have relaxed hair, and I love using rice water. My hair is now flourishing. I have gained extreme growth. Less shedding, and it works. My next venture is magnesium oil. It removes the calcification from the scalp that perms leave behind. Which will also stunt hair growth. Magnesium oil is what most of us lack in our bodies. One of my beauticians from years ago. Would apply Magnesium oil to our hair after a retrace or perm. Our hair was so healthy. He had so many clients until, he eventually left the business. He was the best. So, magnesium oil. Is also a miracle worker.
I've had the same positive experience with rice water. I followed the same general steps... soaking then applying with the sprayer. I left it on for only 30 mins then washed it out. My hair barely shed. I think this is my new go-to treatment, not for growth but for healthier hair. Btw, your hair looks lovely.
I Have Been Using Fermented Rice Water For Two Months Twice A Week... No Hair Growth But You Are Right,,, It Does Leave Your Hair Soft and Stronger... I Am Going To Continue Using Fermented Rice Water As I Do Really See The Benefits... Thank You For Your Video... Keep Smiling...
I've been putting off trying this but I'm definitely going to now. I could totally see a difference in your hair when you took your scarf off. Great video!! 💜
I cook rice frequently and soak it overnight in filtered water before cooking. Tried this for kicks as a leave-in after fermenting it for 24 hours. It does wonders for porous hair! It was soft, flexible and heavy. Dried perfectly straight but...my scalp was sooooooooo itchy, likely from the starch. Those of you with oily hair maybe use it as a pre-wash or a mask.
This is my second time trying this . I absolutely noticed no shedding or hair lost during my wash and absolutely soft. I just got my hair bleached blonde and definitely caring it all the way.
If my hair seems to be breaking or shedding too much - I do a rice water rinse. I have a 5 gallon bucket of it. It smells so bad because I do not remove the rice. I wash, condition, rice water rinse, then rinse VERY well. If you leave the rice water in your hair, it will damage your hair. If you let the rice water dry in your hair and then comb or brush it, it will break off your hair. Rinse rice water out of hair after 3 to 5 minutes. Rinse very well. Rice water does not make your grow. Rinse water stops breakage and fills in the holes in the hair cuticle making your hair feel stronger and helping your hair’s elasticity. Protein sensitivity people should use caution.
I relaxed my hair when i was about 5.I loved it my hair was still thick and curly.I went back natural It was okay for a few years and now i'm 11.I can't even put my hair in a PONYTAIL and whenever i tried moisturising my hair just absorbs the moisture and does nothing. So 5 days ago on Monday I decided to child relax my hair with kids organics relaxer.This is my 5th day with relaxer and my hair has been SOO easy recently.I tend NOT to brush my hair and wash it frequently because my hair is new relaxed hair.Relaxer has made my roots thin in a good way. My roots used to be SOOOOO thick it wasn't good.Normally thick hair was good but in my case it wasn't. Most of my friends are angry with me for relaxing my hair. I try explaining.But they just keep on ranting at me saying , "Your hair is going to fall out!Your hair doesn't even get longer!" YES I understand your hair can fall out when you get relaxer but that's just for particular people who constantly brush out their relaxed hair. My hair seems to look longer as i have type 4b/c hair my hair tends to shrink up 55%.The relaxer has stretched out my hair and i feel comfortable with it. I kept my relaxer in for about 5mins then i washed it off.I didn't want to DEEP relax my hair i just wanted my thick hair to calm down.I have had GREAT experiences with relaxer and I hope you guys do to. xx -Mayah
Hey Mayah, make sure you are deep conditioning your hair every week. It's great that you don't use brushes because they can cause breakage, use wide tooth combs only. As long as you practice healthy hair care practices and do not manipulate your hair too much, you should be fine. Happy hair journey!
Gucci Potatos like she said you must condition your hair especially after relaxing it. Relaxer is a harsh chemical and you must condition to bring back down the ph. It is beyond me why people use those box calcium hydroxide relaxers. They are harder on your hair than the lye on which is sodium hydroxide. The companies wanted to sell them to black people to make more money and they could sell it so easy when they said no burn relaxer, but that’s why everyone’s hair falls out.
Loved your video, my hair is relaxed and I was looking for a video of someone that has used the rice water treatment on relaxed hair. Thanks so much, I'm going to try the rice water...Thanks again
Try rice water and onions juice together, it works amazing on any hair type. I have been using both of them on my relaxed hair for four months now; shedding gone and extremely new growth noticed. Just give it a try!!!!
I've been seeing so many videos about rice water and I was so nervous to try in my relaxed hair. Thanks for sharing, I will be trying this after my next shampoo. :)
I used to have long hair(relaxed hair) somehow i shed some and my hair has never been the same it's okay but not long enough to my satisfaction so am really interested in what will happen after trying this
@@itsMellaBella I have a thin spot that came from stress with school and work, it had to be that because I dont do ponytails, weaves or braids. Neither have I used new hair products. Im gonna try this next week because I just relaxed my hair today and didn't this till after
Rice water is the truth😊. I grew my hair from bald to thick relaxed shoulder length hair in a short period. I ferment my rice water for 2 weeks and add a herb to make it potent. No bad smell. Feel free to watch my video on rice water and tell me what you think.💝 Thanks for sharing. You have beautiful relaxed hair👌🏾💕
wow your hair is truly beautiful. Now black women don't need to buy expensive weaves anymore. rice water to help grow their hair. amazing. I'm a try this on my afro.
looks lovely doll! I can see how this would be beneficial to relaxed hair. Less breakage and lots of shine and also since there is a little more porosity with relaxed hair then I am pretty sure the hair follicle will really soak it in.
Yes Maria, I agree the longer it ferments the better. I usually wrap my hair up let mine stay in overnight while sleeping. I have rinsed out the next day. Iam going to change the routine up and leave-in. Blessings to you Maria🙏❤😇.
I use the rice water too, it does make your hair soft, and shiny 😊 You should try putting it in a applicator bottle oh, I tried to spray but I just felt like it didn't get to my roots the way I really wanted it to so the second time I used it I use the applicator bottle it just like a plane oil to the scalp and hair and it works just as effectively, thank you so much for sharing I did do a deep conditioning afterwards because it is a protein as well thank you God bless you❤🙏
You better try it!! I'm relaxed! When I am due for a touch up I use rice water and it makes my hair really soft and shiney... Can you say PLENTY OF BODY! I get compliments for days when I use it!
@@Miss-Aubin I use it in my final step after my wash... I leave it on for 20 mins while covered with a bag or shower cap... and rinse and style or wrap as usual.. I won't even touch up my roots I just wash and use the rice water..
I used rice water .. when I cook rice halfway through.. I drain the water and use it on my hair in cornrows and I don’t wash it out.. I noticed my hair was stronger thicker and shed way less.. it works for me
I like the way you used to explain what did you used the rice 🍚 water 🚿 I fell so happy 😃 when you noticed what the rice do god bless your hair 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤩🤩💃💃🎉🎉
The rice water helps to strengthen the disulfide bonds in the hair. Protein is excellent for relaxed hair. I live in Texas and the weather is so humid, I can never wear my hair silk press it will revert back. I think I will relax. Your hair looks pretty. Are you Trini?
asherley5 Girl, I know what you mean. I hear people who have natural hair trying to talk me out of it. I'm damaging my hair more. I haven't straightened my hair in a year with a flat iron. New York and Chicago were fine but Texas humidity be knocking on your door waiting for you to come outside. lol
Moved from Jamaica to Canada and my hair shed so much it was unbelievable but my hair grew just as much as it she’d. I ha e done rice water before but not consistent, I’ll start again.
I'm a natural girl but your hair is looking lovely comes up to the rice water I've been trying to turn my hair it's my second day I will be going to 10 days
YEAH, THAT WORKS, 'TOO'! I 'ALSO' do a RICE/ONION/GARLIC water conditioner, (& it MADE MY hair THICKER), & GREW IT OUT some, TOO, (BUT I CUT it FOR A CHANGE)! *SMH* IKR? *SIGH* 😩 *ABOUT to START OVER AGAIN* 🛐🙏🏾🙌🏾
Leah Bailey One isn’t better than the other. They both have pros and cons. The biggest pro with low porosity hair in my opinion is that the cuticles lay flat and are not as raised like it is with high porosity hair. This makes low porosity hair look super healthy and shiny because of that smooth cuticle layer. Low porosity hair also tends to hold on to color longer.
Mine Hair Been So Soft and Heathy Hair Journey. Been on this hair treatment a year in half now. Put some oils in the mixture. Your Hair is so Beautiful....
I’m right there with you on the “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” but I wanna reach my length goal, and my hair is relaxed too so I wanna try this but I’m really scared to 🤣
Your hair is absolutely beautiful 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖great share dear, well done. You are really good with what you do. God richly bless you, we got you through someone dear to us, we love and appreciate you and hope you can appreciate us too. Stay bless ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Does long grain work best? 😂 kissing it has helped to straighten and thicken my hair I wash my hair once a week then do a cold rice rinse with organic basmati and jasmine rice in a bottle with kettle water then left on the side to cool then overnight in the fridge making sure to shake it every so often. I am mixed race English, Portuguese and African. It makes my hair feel silky soft I straighten it the next morning hair is so silky never been this way before. Only done it for 3 weeks so far never going to stop don't rinse it.
People do not relax your hair UNTILL a month latter!!! Remember she already has beautiful long hair, you must not leave this in longer than 30 minutes. Then rinse wellllllll, then deep condition with a NON protein conditioner, if you do this stop using any extra protein products or you will get protien overload!!!! Instant hair breakage at the roots!!!! Be careful with this. It works but but its a strong protien, no other protien products can be used!!! You've been warned💯💯💯🤣🤣 I watched mines shedd horribly after a relaxer by the bundle!!! Now i know.....,AFTER A BUTT LOW SUPPER CHOP. 😨😨🤤🤤😢😢😭😭
THIS IS THE BEST INFO IN A COMMENT I'VE SEEN! ACCURATE INFO. I was going to make the same point about PROTEIN OVERLOAD.😵 it doesn't matter if you are natural or relaxed, hair needs a balance and this can be over done. The old saying "To much of a good thing" applies here,use it wisely so you don't end up with damage to your hair. 💚🌱
Phytic acid is a carboxylic acid and relaxers are acidic... perming hair after treatment is definitely a no no, sorry for what happened to you and thank you for sharing your experience and turning it into a learning tool for others.
Great video! I've been wondering if I could use rice water with a protective style but the thought of pouring fermented water onto my crochet hair made me cringe. I might give it a try by putting some in a bottle and applying directly to my cornrowed hair.
Add essential oils to the rice water. I use it on my crocheted hair. I just lift my hair and try to get as close to my roots as possible. No bad scent. at all
itsMellaBella I agree with you on the shedding I noticed the difference right away. I currently have braids in but I still use the rice water in my hair to help with the breakage. Gggreat video!
+Trina G, THAT'S what I was doing, (RINSING it OUT)! 🗣️'UMPH!' *SMH* 🙄😩🤣🤣🤣 🗣️I 'NOTICED' that it MADE MY hair THICKER, (A LIL' LONGER), 'AND' MUCH SOFTER, AND STRONGER, (WHEN I USED to RINSE IT OUT)!! 🙌🏾😁😎😄 *ABOUT TO START LEAVING IT IN NOW!* 😉😎
Hello, just watched your video on rice water for hair and aside the rice water video you are doing a great job. Just started using rice water for my hair which is exactly a day now. I left it as leave-in and I don't know if that is actually good for my hair cause my hair is low porosity. Also want to know if I can leave it as long as I want as leave-in on my hair and whether I can wash with shampoo and conditioner when am ready to wash. My hair will be due for relaxing in a month time can I keep using the rice water before relaxing my hair? Thanks in anticipation.
Classy Nicky Where you get that duppy story from? 🤣 Never heard it in my life. You know I thought it made it darker but I thought I was tripping!!!! 😱 I haven't dyed my hair!
@@itsMellaBella lol girl back when I grew up in JA I used to hear that alot lol. They say if you want to see duppy wash your face with rice water. You're the first Jamaican I've ever heard who say they never heard that myth. People use to wash their face with it and swear that they saw their dead uncle😂🤣
@@itsMellaBella I can't believe you've never heard of that lol. I was always told if u wash your face with it you'll see 100 duppy and the last one ago box u lol. Only Jamaicans
Thank you but as I mentioned in the video, I didn’t really try it for hair growth initially. I did do a follow up video to see if it aids in hair growth where I included measurements so be sure to check it out on my channel!
Nice video I liked how you explained everything, I am going to try this and show my daughter your video ,someone at work talked about rice water and I found this video ,Thank you
YES! YES! YES!!! It works very well on relaxed hair. It makes your hair very soft and it straightens it, to me personally!! However, I do NOT ferment my water with the rice in it. I do it the right way, Yoa Women way..#THEREALWAYtodotheRiceWaterHairRinseYaoWomen'sRecipe (couldn't find the link, sorry)! Its a Super fast Growing procedure.. I use it as a leave in nightly and I'm Happy!! Let me just say, after preparing this method wrong too many times and it still worked. I knew it was worth the journey...
Finally I've been waiting for someone with relaxed hair to do a review on rice water😁!
MiSsV117 🤗🤗🤗
Been looking too💖
Yes! Because I'm like this is cool if you're natural or reverting, but when that relaxer is fresh...😯
Me too thank you so much😍

I've used rice water for one year in my relaxed hair and it's owesome.My hair geowth is a suprise to the people am living with
Pls are u serious am really thinkin of using relaxer

Loved your video, my hair is relaxed and I was looking for a video of someone that has used the rice water treatment on relaxed hair. Thanks so much, I'm going to try the rice water...Thanks again
Aww no problem. Did your hair like it?
Yes o
Try rice water and onions juice together, it works amazing on any hair type. I have been using both of them on my relaxed hair for four months now; shedding gone and extremely new growth noticed. Just give it a try!!!!
Amaka Okeke That sounds awesome!! Thanks, I will give it a try when hubby’s not home because I can guarantee you he won’t like the smell lol
@amaka okeke Does the type of onion matter? Can you buy premade onion juice if there is a thing?
Yeah this is another amazing recipes I did same too but I appy the onions juice only on my wash day though!
How often do you use it and how do you use it
How can I use rice water with onions juice please I don't understand, can I miss them together
I've been seeing so many videos about rice water and I was so nervous to try in my relaxed hair. Thanks for sharing, I will be trying this after my next shampoo. :)
I am growing out my relaxer and will be trying this since seeing your hair, it is so beautiful!
Beautiful! She looks like Jasmine Sullivan just a touch. Thanks for the video Love.
Oh wow, that one's new! Thanks for watching!!!
She does! I think she looks like a mix between Jasmine and Leandria Johnson lol
I was scared of using it on my relaxed hair. Thank God ooo
You are definitely my nigerian sistah 😂😂😂
I will use this. Soft hair is the main reason I want it and to stop breakage
Red_Vibe Awesome, hope it works great for you
This beat is heeeeeat im a producer and this had me moving the whole time
I used to have long hair(relaxed hair) somehow i shed some and my hair has never been the same it's okay but not long enough to my satisfaction so am really interested in what will happen after trying this
I am currently taking thyroid medication which causes a lot of shedding. Thanks I will definitely try it 😍
Try the rice water it might stop shedding, am on thyroxine med too and I know how much they can damage ones hair . Rice water might be the solution.
I have been using rice water also on my relaxer hair it's grow my front hair very well thanks for sharing the good job
That's awesome! Thank you for watching Abbey
@@itsMellaBella I have a thin spot that came from stress with school and work, it had to be that because I dont do ponytails, weaves or braids. Neither have I used new hair products. Im gonna try this next week because I just relaxed my hair today and didn't this till after
Rice water is the truth😊. I grew my hair from bald to thick relaxed shoulder length hair in a short period. I ferment my rice water for 2 weeks and add a herb to make it potent. No bad smell. Feel free to watch my video on rice water and tell me what you think.💝 Thanks for sharing. You have beautiful relaxed hair👌🏾💕
Oh wow! I'll drop by!
itsMellaBella Thank you for visiting my channel 🤗❤️
I've been natural for two years, I'm really thinking of going relaxed again.
If it will help you. Do you. Its just hair. Good luck.
I was natural for 7 and went natural... Best decision ever... I learnt a lot from being natural... Taking co wash and rice water fir sure 😍
Do it! Relaxed hair is way more manageable.
Don't even think of doing that
Relaxed hair is not healthy hair. EVER. Remember why you went natural!!
wow your hair is truly beautiful. Now black women don't need to buy expensive weaves anymore. rice water to help grow their hair. amazing. I'm a try this on my afro.
Yes, so true!! Thanks so much!
looks lovely doll! I can see how this would be beneficial to relaxed hair. Less breakage and lots of shine and also since there is a little more porosity with relaxed hair then I am pretty sure the hair follicle will really soak it in.
Yes so true!!!
Very nice hair , will give a try to rice water .
@@itsMellaBella please what is the name of your relaxer thanks
Wow, I just switched from natural to relax. In two weeks, I’ll be trying the rice water. Can’t wait! Thanks
I’ve been using black rice water for about 2 weeks and omg, my braids grew out So fast. I may never stop using this!😍
Is your hair relaxed?
What is black rice water???
Can you put it under a dryer?
I have tried the rice water and I love it I let it stand for one week and than I use it it works for hair growth and softness I love it to yes 🥰
Yes Maria, I agree the longer it ferments the better. I usually wrap my hair up let mine stay in overnight while sleeping. I have rinsed out the next day. Iam going to change the routine up and leave-in. Blessings to you Maria🙏❤😇.
@@sisteroflight thank you God bless you to Deborah ❤⚘
Thanks for sharing!!
I use the rice water too, it does make your hair soft, and shiny 😊
You should try putting it in a applicator bottle oh, I tried to spray but I just felt like it didn't get to my roots the way I really wanted it to so the second time I used it I use the applicator bottle it just like a plane oil to the scalp and hair and it works just as effectively, thank you so much for sharing I did do a deep conditioning afterwards because it is a protein as well thank you God bless you❤🙏
Sapphire relaxed hair Thanks for the tip!! I’ve always noticed that my hair loves protein.
You better try it!! I'm relaxed! When I am due for a touch up I use rice water and it makes my hair really soft and shiney... Can you say PLENTY OF BODY! I get compliments for days when I use it!
Thanks for sharing!!
Please do u use it before or after relaxed
@@Miss-Aubin I use it in my final step after my wash... I leave it on for 20 mins while covered with a bag or shower cap... and rinse and style or wrap as usual.. I won't even touch up my roots I just wash and use the rice water..
LOL.... I like The Choir singing “ I’m A Believer” clip!!!💫
🤣💚
Ok guys I left in as leave in and then did and washed out this week, results are better when you rinse out! For me anyway
I'm going to start this now.
And u have actually inspired me to start my own channel soon.
Thanks ma'am
Do we wash hair first before using water rice or we use then wash off after 24hrs?help me pls
KindlyReply
I used rice water .. when I cook rice halfway through.. I drain the water and use it on my hair in cornrows and I don’t wash it out.. I noticed my hair was stronger thicker and shed way less.. it works for me
I will definitely relax my hair and try the rice water method
Did it work?
This is the same affect o had from rice water. Mad soft but strong at the same time. I love it
🙌
@@itsMellaBella what should I use on my hair after washing off the rice water. I mean can I apply any oil or hair cream
I"m going to try the rice water for the first time after watching your video
mahala071 Okay let me know how it goes!
She already has nice hair but now it's so nice can't wait to try this thanks Mella nice hair by the way it looks like a weave girl
Delight Dabengwa Thanks girl!!! Yes it makes my hair so silky
Girl you are glowing! ✨ I’ve seen many rice water videos & I’ve never thought to try it until this video lol. So maybe I’ll do a video on it as well.
Curly Versatility Whoiiii!! Waiting on it!!!
Secret unlocked! Next level 💞💞💞😘
This was a great informational video. Can’t wait to try
ColleenMarieT Thank you for watching!!!
Some people also recommend boiling the rice water for a few minutes with the peels of a lemon or grapefruit
I like the way you used to explain what did you used the rice 🍚 water 🚿 I fell so happy 😃 when you noticed what the rice do god bless your hair 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤩🤩💃💃🎉🎉
The rice water helps to strengthen the disulfide bonds in the hair. Protein is excellent for relaxed hair. I live in Texas and the weather is so humid, I can never wear my hair silk press it will revert back. I think I will relax. Your hair looks pretty. Are you Trini?
Thank you! I'm Jamaican 🤗
asherley5 Girl, I know what you mean. I hear people who have natural hair trying to talk me out of it. I'm damaging my hair more. I haven't straightened my hair in a year with a flat iron. New York and Chicago were fine but Texas humidity be knocking on your door waiting for you to come outside. lol
You are so cute! "Look at my hair. Look at my hair." I have never even heard of such a thing as rice water. I will try it. Thanks 😊
My hair has never felt and looked that good with a home made treatment!
Moved from Jamaica to Canada and my hair shed so much it was unbelievable but my hair grew just as much as it she’d. I ha e done rice water before but not consistent, I’ll start again.
This video is super informative! Since I went from natural to a curly perm, I've been wanting to decrease shedding. Trying this today!
I'm a natural girl but your hair is looking lovely comes up to the rice water I've been trying to turn my hair it's my second day I will be going to 10 days
Terry T Newsum Thank you!! Let me know how it works out, I think I’m gonna try it for 5 days on mine.
Ok hun let's do this 😊
I think I will have to try it as a leave in and she how it makes my hair come out thanks for doing it
Stephanie Harris Okay! Let me know if your hair likes it!
Beautiful ladies love all the posts try it you won’t regret it, just use correctly & enjoy your hair flourishing
Catherine Steve 🤗
Such beautiful hair. I can't wait to try it!
Thanks Brandy
Def gonna try rice water for sure since im relaxed as well!
I'm going to make a wild rice, red onion and ginger root water.
Sounds good!
YEAH, THAT WORKS, 'TOO'! I 'ALSO' do a RICE/ONION/GARLIC water conditioner, (& it MADE MY hair THICKER), & GREW IT OUT some, TOO, (BUT I CUT it FOR A CHANGE)! *SMH* IKR? *SIGH* 😩
*ABOUT to START OVER AGAIN* 🛐🙏🏾🙌🏾
Yes onion works and it's good for itchy scalp
Thank you so much because I have been waiting for someone with a relax hair I can now try it hope it works for me
It changed my hair from high porosity to low porosity! Love it! #gamechanger
Whoa! Nice
Out of curiosity, why is this a good thing? I'm trying to understand porosity but I dont get what makes one better than the other...
Leah Bailey One isn’t better than the other. They both have pros and cons. The biggest pro with low porosity hair in my opinion is that the cuticles lay flat and are not as raised like it is with high porosity hair. This makes low porosity hair look super healthy and shiny because of that smooth cuticle layer. Low porosity hair also tends to hold on to color longer.
@@itsMellaBella low porosity hair is WAY nicer.
Mine Hair Been So Soft and Heathy Hair Journey. Been on this hair treatment a year in half now. Put some oils in the mixture. Your Hair is so Beautiful....
Beautiful!!
Will be trying rice water👍🏽
Millicent Wilson Awesome 🤗
Gotta try rice water on my hair. My hair sheds a LOT and even though I know it's normal - especially given that I have thick hair - it is bothersome 😢
I’m right there with you on the “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” but I wanna reach my length goal, and my hair is relaxed too so I wanna try this but I’m really scared to 🤣
HV u tried yet? I want to try today 😴
NANA AMA I haven’t tried it yet, I’ve been doing more research on it before trying it, have you?
@@mikaylacarroll9882 Nat yet my dear. I'm also doing research. I will let you know as soon as I try
NANA AMA I appreciate it, take your time 😊
@@mikaylacarroll9882 ok dear, thanks
My edges need a 911 rescue right yah now, so mi gah do it dis week. You look stunning darling. 💖💖💖 blessings sistren.

Ericka Ruiz Thanks girl!
Thank you for sharing. My hair is relaxed too. Being looking for my hair type before trying rice water on my hair. I will give it a try 😁
You are so welcome. Let me know it goes.
Your hair is absolutely beautiful 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖great share dear, well done. You are really good with what you do. God richly bless you, we got you through someone dear to us, we love and appreciate you and hope you can appreciate us too. Stay bless ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Jesustina Tagoe Thank you and God bless you too!
Does long grain work best? 😂 kissing it has helped to straighten and thicken my hair I wash my hair once a week then do a cold rice rinse with organic basmati and jasmine rice in a bottle with kettle water then left on the side to cool then overnight in the fridge making sure to shake it every so often. I am mixed race English, Portuguese and African. It makes my hair feel silky soft I straighten it the next morning hair is so silky never been this way before. Only done it for 3 weeks so far never going to stop don't rinse it.
Hey love I just subscribed I'm gonna follow your rice water journey💖
Princess China Thanks!!!
Your new growth hair so coolie wah yuh perm for honestly it looks nice and easy to manage you don’t look like yuh really need perm.
Your tutoring is so sincere, p.s i just subscribed. Thanks for sharing👏👏👏
Joy Atu Thanks for watching!
I relaxed my hair and then put rice water in the same day my hair gree an inch in 2 weeks
People do not relax your hair UNTILL a month latter!!! Remember she already has beautiful long hair, you must not leave this in longer than 30 minutes. Then rinse wellllllll, then deep condition with a NON protein conditioner, if you do this stop using any extra protein products or you will get protien overload!!!! Instant hair breakage at the roots!!!! Be careful with this. It works but but its a strong protien, no other protien products can be used!!! You've been warned💯💯💯🤣🤣
I watched mines shedd horribly after a relaxer by the bundle!!! Now i know.....,AFTER A BUTT LOW SUPPER CHOP. 😨😨🤤🤤😢😢😭😭
Oh no, how soon after did you get your relaxer??? Yes, all very important tips. It works differently for everyone!
THIS IS THE BEST INFO IN A COMMENT I'VE SEEN! ACCURATE INFO. I was going to make the same point about PROTEIN OVERLOAD.😵 it doesn't matter if you are natural or relaxed, hair needs a balance and this can be over done. The old saying "To much of a good thing" applies here,use it wisely so you don't end up with damage to your hair. 💚🌱
Phytic acid is a carboxylic acid and relaxers are acidic... perming hair after treatment is definitely a no no, sorry for what happened to you and thank you for sharing your experience and turning it into a learning tool for others.
@@itsMellaBella within the month or the rice treatment, because it gave me loads of new growth.
Loved your presentation though 👍💯💋😙
@@sassyrarebreed9914 thank you 😙
Great video! I've been wondering if I could use rice water with a protective style but the thought of pouring fermented water onto my crochet hair made me cringe. I might give it a try by putting some in a bottle and applying directly to my cornrowed hair.
A.S. Holmes Awesome! Thank you!
Add essential oils to the rice water. I use it on my crocheted hair. I just lift my hair and try to get as close to my roots as possible. No bad scent. at all
I’ve been looking for a video on relaxed. Thanks for the review you’ve inspired me to try it now!
Kiana Victor I had the same problem so that’s why I made a video. Thanks for watching and let me know how it works for you!
itsMellaBella I agree with you on the shedding I noticed the difference right away. I currently have braids in but I still use the rice water in my hair to help with the breakage. Gggreat video!
I did four treatment for my shedding no more shedding and my hair is so soft and my hair texture change I'm hook baby
Nice!!!!!
What products to u use on your hair .looks beautiful
Ibis Alvira Thanks so much!! I’ll do a video soon
So im not here because of hair growth but her beauty 😍😍... u re sooooooooo beautiful mom😙❤❤❤
Does anyone notice ...when she is talking its like shes about to cry....its like shes holding bk tears
Girl thank you, I relax my hair, use rice water but always rinse out, now I'm gonna use as a leave in.
Thanks for watching!
+Trina G, THAT'S what I was doing, (RINSING it OUT)! 🗣️'UMPH!'
*SMH* 🙄😩🤣🤣🤣
🗣️I 'NOTICED' that it MADE MY hair THICKER, (A LIL' LONGER), 'AND' MUCH SOFTER, AND STRONGER, (WHEN I USED to RINSE IT OUT)!! 🙌🏾😁😎😄
*ABOUT TO START LEAVING IT IN NOW!* 😉😎
@@itsMellaBella ,
🗣️ "TFS!!"
🗣️" #NEW #SUBBIE!" 😉😎😄
always rinse out!!!.
Did you do it the same day as your perm?
Did you use it as your deep conditioner?
So if I may ask u didn’t rinse it off before flat ironing? Cause I wanna try
I didn't, it dried in my hair. I'm not sure if that's safe for everyone to do though.
you are suppose to rinse i out after letting it sit for however long
Hello, just watched your video on rice water for hair and aside the rice water video you are doing a great job. Just started using rice water for my hair which is exactly a day now. I left it as leave-in and I don't know if that is actually good for my hair cause my hair is low porosity. Also want to know if I can leave it as long as I want as leave-in on my hair and whether I can wash with shampoo and conditioner when am ready to wash. My hair will be due for relaxing in a month time can I keep using the rice water before relaxing my hair? Thanks in anticipation.
You look so pretty, I've used rice water too. Memba no mek it get in yu eye you'll see duppy lol. Your hair look so dark too😍. Have you dyed it?
Classy Nicky Where you get that duppy story from? 🤣 Never heard it in my life. You know I thought it made it darker but I thought I was tripping!!!! 😱 I haven't dyed my hair!
@@itsMellaBella lol girl back when I grew up in JA I used to hear that alot lol. They say if you want to see duppy wash your face with rice water. You're the first Jamaican I've ever heard who say they never heard that myth. People use to wash their face with it and swear that they saw their dead uncle😂🤣
@@ClassyNicky Lawd have mercy you have me a fret now 🤣🤣🤣 I can't believe I've never heard that lol
@@itsMellaBella lol girl it's a myth dwl. I told you I've used rice water in my hair too and I've never seen a duppy in my life lol🤣
@@itsMellaBella I can't believe you've never heard of that lol. I was always told if u wash your face with it you'll see 100 duppy and the last one ago box u lol. Only Jamaicans
Very sweet video but you forgot to do the measurement test; the before and after.You go Sister your hair looks wonderful ❣️⚡💫⚡
Thank you but as I mentioned in the video, I didn’t really try it for hair growth initially. I did do a follow up video to see if it aids in hair growth where I included measurements so be sure to check it out on my channel!
Put orange peel in it when u let it sit. It make your hair smell better.😊✌️
Good idea
Nice video I liked how you explained everything, I am going to try this and show my daughter your video ,someone at work talked about rice water and I found this video ,Thank you
I have been doing it for about a year. My hair loves it.
Awesome!!!
Great, more motivation to give it a try.
@@ShauntelWalters Your hair will thank you for it. You will see a big difference in the health of your hair.
You are so beautiful sis, I love hair, great share honey, God richly bless you
Please update me...cause I wanna try it and when to use it
I will!! Never think it woulda well so well, trust me.
YES! YES! YES!!! It works very well on relaxed hair. It makes your hair very soft and it straightens it, to me personally!! However, I do NOT ferment my water with the rice in it. I do it the right way, Yoa Women way..#THEREALWAYtodotheRiceWaterHairRinseYaoWomen'sRecipe (couldn't find the link, sorry)! Its a Super fast Growing procedure.. I use it as a leave in nightly and I'm Happy!!
Let me just say, after preparing this method wrong too many times and it still worked. I knew it was worth the journey...
Thanks for sharing!!
