One biggest secret is that rice water helps with hair growth.
Rice water is great if you want to reduce hair fall and aid in growth. The amino acids present in it help in the regeneration of hair and aid faster growth of your hair. Additionally, it contains vitamins B, C, and E, which further help in hair growth. The best way to grow is to rinse your hair with it after a wash. Follow the process at least twice a week.
You’ll be shocked to know that it protects your hair from damage.
Rice water decreases surface friction and improves elasticity. The inositol in it remains in your hair even after rinsing it off and shields your hair from further damage.
Cures Dandruff
Fermented rice water has antifungal properties which work against dandruff and help eliminate it. Use it as a hair mask once or twice a week for a few hours to combat this issue.
It makes your hair shine.
All you have to do is use rice water as a hair mask, leave it on for 20 minutes, and then wash it off. Follow it up with shampoo and conditioner.
Fermented Rice Water
Fermented rice water enhances the existing vitamin and nutrient levels of plain rice water, thus increasing its benefits. You can use it as a replacement for the plain version. It has anti-dandruff, anti-itch, anti-hair fall properties and helps in oil control on the scalp.
The Guinness Book of World Records has declared Huangluo village in China as “the world’s longest hair village” as its Yao women are known for their long, grey-less, shiny hair. These women use fermented rice water as shampoo. This natural shampoo is the secret of their shiny black and silky soft hair.
How It Works
Fermentation brings down the pH levels of the rice water and when you use it as a rinse, it restores and balances the pH of your hair. Also, during fermentation, a substance called ‘pitera’ forms in the rice water, and it is rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and organic acids. Pitera is known to promote cell regeneration and keep your skin and hair healthy.
