I gotta give a shout out to my sister Vic for this one! Who discovered this on her journey to reconnect with her natural goddess curls!
So, I want you to try and picture me standing in my kitchen trying to explain to my husband why he should dump this mason jar of cloudy water on his head… Haha! He tried his best to entertain me.
Me- “So there is this mason jar, its got rice water in it. Next time you shower poor it on your hair and wait about 3 minutes before you rinse. Then you can condition… It will make your hair stronger and healthier.”
Husband- “Sounds like your sister is selling you snake oil.”
Me- “But its FREE!” :)
Okay! I’ll get to the point!
Basically you soak rice in water as you wash it, then you take that starchy cloudy rice water, and you poor it on your hair after you shampoo. Just let it sit a few min, then rinse, and continue with your conditioner as you normally do. I was SHOCKED at the results after just one wash. My hair was so much softer, shiner, and my scalp was less dry. What!?
(Pro Tip: Don’t let the water sit out because it will start to grow funky stuff. Keep it in your fridge.)
(Confession: I never used to wash my rice, because I was lazy, but now I do just to get the water for my hair.)
If you want more info, look it up. My sister gave me the short hand, and I just ran with it. But hey, it works!
If you try this…
Please let me know your results! :)
