Did you know that the rice water you often throw away is truly a blessing for your hair? Yes, you read that right! For centuries, Koreans have been using it to grow long, thick, and shiny hair (Rice Water for Hair). The special thing is that it not only nourishes your hair but also makes it strong and soft.

It's worth noting that rice water contains a special compound called inositol, which penetrates the hair roots and repairs them from within. It also contains abundant amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that help maintain healthy hair. Let's explore some of its amazing benefits and the correct method of use in this article.

How to prepare rice water?
Plain water: Wash a bowl of rice thoroughly. Then, add two cups of water and let it steep for 20-30 minutes. Then, strain the water and set it aside.

Boiled water: Strain and cool the water left over from boiling rice.

Fermented water: This is the most effective method. Let the rice water sit in an airtight container for 24-48 hours to allow it to ferment. Use it afterward.

5 ways to use rice water
As a conditioner after shampooing: After shampooing, pour rice water over your hair and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. Then rinse with plain water.

In a spray bottle: Store rice water in a spray bottle. Whenever your hair feels dry, spray it with water.

With a hair mask: Make a hair mask by mixing aloe vera gel or honey with rice water and leave it on for 20 minutes.

For scalp massage: Apply this water to your scalp with a cotton ball and massage gently. This reduces hair fall.
