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. 🌻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💚
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.
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 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. ❤️
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!
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👍🏽
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 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
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 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.
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!! 💜
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 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 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.
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
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.
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.
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 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❤🙏
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 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
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
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.
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
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
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 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤩🤩💃💃🎉🎉
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 🤣
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’m currently using Shea Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner ( actually the entire line of products) however my question to you is what shampoo did you use before leaving the rice water in as a leave in conditioner. I’m desperate for something to work being that I’m experiencing major hair loss... not sure if it’s due to my medications or what but I’m on the verge of doing a big chop of I can’t find a healthy hair regimen ASAP!!!
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👌🏾💕
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..
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.
Just came across your video and loved it. Been looking for a video on relaxed hair and am glad I finally found it!😄 Now, my question is.. How did you use the rice water in your lashes?
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.
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
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.
Hi love, I just came across this video & I love it & I hope rice water can help me. I would really love if you can answer my question... What else do you use in your hair with the rice water leave in? I recently washed & deep conditioned & I put in moisturizer the next day & now I am putting in the rice water. Do I use the rice water alone for the week or can I put it my oils & moisturize along with the rice water?
Natabi Ferguson I personally didn’t use anything else during that time because I was monitoring my hair and it was doing well. However, if you need moisture while using the rice water, definitely moisturize because it contains protein and you need to maintain a protein-moisture balance.
Do you just apply it in your hair and sit under the dryer with the shower cap and then rinse, or do you just apply it and put the shower cap on for the time given and then rinse it out?
Darling, you have beautiful hair and I know it's has nothing to do with the rice water. How often do or will you be using it? Will you use it alone or with other products? I have relaxed hair but has decided to transition without the BIG chop. I have "mid back" length hair and it is shedding , shedding, shedding and thinning...SOoo. do you think the rice water will help?
I use it once a week on wash days as a leave in. It helped tremendously with my shedding and it's even more evident if I happen to skip a week of using it.
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* 🛐🙏🏾🙌🏾
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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Trishana Walker I had traditional locs for abt ten years... combed them out late summer 2018... now installing micro(?) interlocs- rice water definitely works for them too! I saw all the benefits she mentioned: increased softness, less shedding/breakage, more shine, darker hair, definition in new growth... I just wouldn’t use it too frequently, listen to your hair to see what works.
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.
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😍
Hello Mell, how often do u use rice is it weekly, monthly or how??
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. 🌻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💚
Ohh I’ve never thought of it this way
Who else came here to find out if rice water grew her hair 🙄

Delight Dabengwa Thanks girl!!! Yes it makes my hair so silky
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
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 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.
This was a great informational video. Can’t wait to try
ColleenMarieT Thank you for watching!!!
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'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'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!!
Some people also recommend boiling the rice water for a few minutes with the peels of a lemon or grapefruit
This beat is heeeeeat im a producer and this had me moving the whole time
Wow, I just switched from natural to relax. In two weeks, I’ll be trying the rice water. Can’t wait! Thanks
I was scared of using it on my relaxed hair. Thank God ooo
You are definitely my nigerian sistah 😂😂😂
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.
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
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 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
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!
This video is super informative! Since I went from natural to a curly perm, I've been wanting to decrease shedding. Trying this today!
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
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
You are beautiful and I luv your hair. Thanks for sharing it was very helpful 👍
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!!!
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
I will definitely relax my hair and try the rice water method
Did it work?
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
Such beautiful hair. I can't wait to try it!
Thanks Brandy
Loving this video. 😍 but can I use brown rice as well?
Your tutoring is so sincere, p.s i just subscribed. Thanks for sharing👏👏👏
Joy Atu Thanks for watching!
Hi I am new to your channel...when rinsing the rice water... should I use conditioner on my hair... or just rinse?
Love it! Your hair looks so healthy 😍
Ericka Ruiz Thanks girl!
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.
Hey love I just subscribed I'm gonna follow your rice water journey💖
Princess China Thanks!!!
My edges need a 911 rescue right yah now, so mi gah do it dis week. You look stunning darling. 💖💖💖 blessings sistren.
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
I know that rice water smells, however, you used it as a leave in. Did you have the fermented smell or does the smell go away?
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 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤩🤩💃💃🎉🎉
Beautiful ladies love all the posts try it you won’t regret it, just use correctly & enjoy your hair flourishing
Catherine Steve 🤗
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
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’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’m currently using Shea Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner ( actually the entire line of products) however my question to you is what shampoo did you use before leaving the rice water in as a leave in conditioner. I’m desperate for something to work being that I’m experiencing major hair loss... not sure if it’s due to my medications or what but I’m on the verge of doing a big chop of I can’t find a healthy hair regimen ASAP!!!
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!
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"m going to try the rice water for the first time after watching your video
mahala071 Okay let me know how it goes!
Def gonna try rice water for sure since im relaxed as well!
Beautiful!!
Will be trying rice water👍🏽
Millicent Wilson Awesome 🤗
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..
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 😙
Just came across your video and loved it. Been looking for a video on relaxed hair and am glad I finally found it!😄
Now, my question is.. How did you use the rice water in your lashes?
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.
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
What products to u use on your hair .looks beautiful
Ibis Alvira Thanks so much!! I’ll do a video soon
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.
Does anyone notice ...when she is talking its like shes about to cry....its like shes holding bk tears
Hi love, I just came across this video & I love it & I hope rice water can help me. I would really love if you can answer my question...
What else do you use in your hair with the rice water leave in? I recently washed & deep conditioned & I put in moisturizer the next day & now I am putting in the rice water. Do I use the rice water alone for the week or can I put it my oils & moisturize along with the rice water?
Natabi Ferguson I personally didn’t use anything else during that time because I was monitoring my hair and it was doing well. However, if you need moisture while using the rice water, definitely moisturize because it contains protein and you need to maintain a protein-moisture balance.
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
Do you just apply it in your hair and sit under the dryer with the shower cap and then rinse, or do you just apply it and put the shower cap on for the time given and then rinse it out?
Please update me...cause I wanna try it and when to use it
I will!! Never think it woulda well so well, trust me.
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.
Put orange peel in it when u let it sit. It make your hair smell better.😊✌️
Good idea
Darling, you have beautiful hair and I know it's has nothing to do with the rice water. How often do or will you be using it? Will you use it alone or with other products? I have relaxed hair but has decided to transition without the BIG chop. I have "mid back" length hair and it is shedding , shedding, shedding and thinning...SOoo. do you think the rice water will help?
I use it once a week on wash days as a leave in. It helped tremendously with my shedding and it's even more evident if I happen to skip a week of using it.
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.
Did you rinse the rice until the water was clear before you fermented it ?
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
Thanks for doing a rice water video on relaxed hair 👍
No problem 👍
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!
This is beautiful
So did u rinse it off or u left it in?
Rice water for my locked sisters? Where y’all at?
Trishana Walker
I had traditional locs for abt ten years... combed them out late summer 2018... now installing micro(?) interlocs- rice water definitely works for them too! I saw all the benefits she mentioned: increased softness, less shedding/breakage, more shine, darker hair, definition in new growth... I just wouldn’t use it too frequently, listen to your hair to see what works.
Joce217 you rock! Thank you
Im here...watching.
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.
