How to wash and condition hair with rice water to reduce hair loss and continuously promote new hair growth

🧪 Step 1: Prepare the Rice Water

There are three main methods:

  • Soaking: Rinse ½ cup of uncooked rice, then soak it in 2–3 cups of water for 30 minutes. Strain before use.

  • Boiling: Boil rice in excess water, then strain the starchy water once cooled.

  • Fermenting: Soak rice for 24–48 hours at room temperature, then strain. This boosts nutrients and pH balance.

  2. Pour rice water slowly onto your scalp and hair.

  3. Massage gently for 5–10 minutes to stimulate blood flow and absorption.

  4. Let it sit for 10–20 minutes before rinsing with cool water.
