In reply to Sue. Good Question! We should look into that! I think I'll stick with Ayurvedic hair care recipes. It has grown my thinning hair to mid back and filled in bald patches on the top and edges of my hair and it keeps getting thicker and healthier. Check out Curly Proverb on YouTube.

Looking forward to trying this recipe on my hair. I am a fan of aryurvedic skincare and hair remedies. It’s past time I give rice water a chance to see what it can do. Thanks for the recipe and tips!

Would this help with alopecia?….
One of my sons developed alopecia at about 11 years of age due to prolonged stress. His hair did regrow after I gave him homeopathic treatment and supplements, but now that he has been living on his own the alopecia has taken hold again. He is now 36 years of age.
He used to have beautiful thick hair….

In reply to Coco Lucas. Of course eat the rice. Soaking rice releases phytic acid, improving digestibility and making uptake of IP6 possible. I only wish I had learned this fermenting trick decades ago years ago for hair and skin health. Learn something great and new every day!!! does this work with basmati, wild and red rice, too is my question

I had a recipe for this and on the instructions it said after you let it set for 24 hours , you are to put it in a pan and heat it until it comes to a boil. Let it cool and put it in a spray bottle. Is this correct ?

In reply to Paula. There is a Korean drink called Makgeolli you can buy at a Korean market. I actually like it. It does have a fermentation taste and smell.

In reply to cath. I have the same questions. Women in Asia use rice water for skin lightening and women in Europe used to use arsenic for the same purpose.

Why not just eat the rice??

In reply to Sue. Try it without the coconut oil. Maybe avocado, olive or sweet almond oil would work better for you.

In reply to Sue. You need to rinse out with cold water, heat promotes hair loss

It is vital that you include the fact that if you do not rinse your hair out with cold water the heat will cause hair loss.

One concern I have is that virtually all rice, including organic, has some level of arsenic and we soak rice to assist in the removal of the arsenic. So even after washing the rice, the soak meant to remove the arsenic and get tossed out is now the water to condition hair and skin? Is this not a bad concept to have arsenic rice water condition your hair and skin?

Thank you for this information.
In the description you say to put the rice water on your hair for 5 minutes and then condition. What about the shampooing, is it before or after the 5 minute rice water treatment?

In reply to Sue. you have to wash ur hair then add rice water let it soak for 30-45 min then rinse it out again i recommend using once a week also try to use coconut oil

I’m losing more hair when I use rice water than when I don’t. I have only used it three times so far. I add coconut oil and a drop of lavender oil. The first two times were every other day. When I saw an increase in hair loss I skipped two weeks before trying again. What am I doing wrong?

In reply to Paula. This sounds good for my thinning hair. Do u think the fermented water would b something to tell my friend with Willson Desease to try for digestion problems.

Thanks for the great tips! I was thinking what if you drank the fermented rice water could it potentially help with healing the gut lining?
