Rice water contains vitamins and minerals that nourish the hair and scalp and may encourage growth.
To make it, let about a cup of rice ferment in two to three cups of water for one day.
Use it one to two times per week, and you can expect results within a few weeks or months.
Rice water is the leftover liquid that comes from rinsing or cooking rice — and it’s been used for hair and skin care in many Asian countries for centuries.
For instance, Japanese court ladies from the Heian period (794 to 1185) had floor-length tresses that they would rinse in rice water for healthy growth and better elasticity. In India, rice water is used as an Ayurvedic remedy to treat eczema.
According to cosmetic dermatologist Michele Green, MD, rice water is full of vitamins and minerals that are essential to hair growth and can help improve the look and feel of your hair. She says these nutrients help strengthen hair follicles, improve the density of hair, and make it look healthy and shiny.
Here’s what you need to know about the benefits of rice water for hair and how you can use it.
Does rice water help your hair grow?
“Rice water contains many antioxidants and vitamins which are beneficial for hair health and growth,” says Green.
According to Green, some of the nutrients in rice water that can benefit your hair are folic acid, niacin, magnesium, and inositol. It also contains amino acids that let it act as a protein treatment to strengthen and protect hair.
Here’s how some of the vitamins and minerals in rice can impact your tresses:
Folic acid (vitamin B9), niacin (vitamin B3), and selenium are important for cell turnover and overall health of the scalp and hair follicle. They stimulate hair growth and help strengthen and thicken the hair.
Niacin (vitamin B3) and allantoin improve the strength and elasticity of the hair follicle and reduce inflammation by increasing blood flow within the scalp.
Magnesium dissolves calcium buildup on the hair from hard water and rejuvenates hair follicles.
Inositol (vitamin B8) is found in many foods, like fruits, nuts, beans, and grains. Your body also uses carbohydrates to make its own inositol. This nutrient increases hair elasticity, making the hair stronger. A small 2012 study found that taking inositol supplements for 180 days helped stimulate hair growth and reduce thinning.
Rice water can help undo some of the damage caused by stress, health issues, and chemical products (like dyes or relaxants) that can cause your scalp to become dry and your hair follicles to get damaged, according to Green. “When you have a clean, well-functioning scalp, you will in turn have healthy, strong, shiny hair that grows,” says Green.#hairtreatment #haircare #howtoprotecthair
