Hair grew on the smartphone that I dropped in the water yesterday..

Ha! 😄

I’m Asian, we go by rice is life, rice solves everything lol

😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣

hi can you tell me which oils you use in it?

@@laibaaziz5901 Hi, my curls range from 3A to 3C, and while I have a ton of hair, the texture is very fine. It's also very low porosity. I can't put oils in it, or it gets weighed down. I do use Shea Moisture conditioners and shampoos for the moisture aspect, and if I go through a period of time where I moisturize it too much due to its texture, I use rice water to help with strength, because it will split and break easily after a certain length without.

Well, as most things, our body does the growing, we just help it along by treating it with respect.

Thankyou so much both of youuuuu 😩😩🌻🌻🌻

Dr Shereene Idriss mentions one study about rice water & hair growth in one of her YT shorts. The study claims that rice water maintains the hair follice in its growth stage, this helping with hair growth.

skin? how can you use rice on skin?

​@@marichu899 good question, I wanna know too!

, Rice extracts are a popular skincare ingredient due to their many benefits for the skin. They help reduce UV damage, lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, dead skin cells, and increase skin ceramide production. Rice peptides can also increase collagen synthesis and lighten skin. say kudos to Google 😌

@@marichu899 as a paste mixed with one or two more ingredients. I don’t exactly what.

@@marichu899i would occasionally save my rice water when making rice (usually the 3rd or 4th rinse) and save that in the fridge. Then that evening, after washing my face, i splash my face with the rice water as the last step of my cleanse and let it dry for like 30sec and then do my skincare. There are also lots of rice-infused skin care products in Korean and Japanese skincare. Helps to soften and brighten your skin.

It is, but yes rinse the rice first.

I'll try that way. Just don't like the idea of heating it.

@@Lake67Jumpi heat it after i finish fermenting it. To stop further fermentation & lasts longer.

I did that with rosemary and I had huge hair loss .. Scariest time I’m talking chunks of hair fall out .. never ever again will I use rosemary

​@@joansmith6844why so ? Was it too powerful on your hair or what? I was thinking of buying rosemary

@@marshmelow1 yes too powerful not every doc or person is saying this .. so make sure it’s organic of course Listen I can only give you my experience- I do have longer type hair I’m healthy , workout 7 days a week I did use it everyday used it right out of the bottle only on my scalp where there is thinning- rubbed/ massaged it in w my fingers well - but I did not mix it with anything … You are to mix with a carrier oil - jojoba oil or aloe vera both work great) for a moisture-rich leave-on treatment. Or shampoos "I recommend putting three to five drops into your shampoo before you use your shampoo," Massage it into your scalp, and leave it on there for about five minutes, condition as usual remember trick here is to Always use a carrier oil to dilute the potency (hair care products-oils) What I did - was use it alone , I rubbed it in my Scalp , pulled my hair up went to work out left it in with out rinsing This I think was wrong and to strong and way too much .. trust me It did not happen immediately but 3 weeks later I had chunks of hair I mean chunks fall out … it freaked me out enough to never use it again … took a while before my hair grew back

Just wondering, maybe hair types might have to do with it? BOTH of you - what kind of hair do you have? Like, super thick and kinky like a black person typically has, or thin and straight to wavy, like for a white person? I have definitely heard that a lot of things vary between those hair types - for example, if a white person wears protective hairstyles like box braids too much, their hair will fall out because it's not meant for their hair.

@@norM_ystical I had very thin fine hair and I always wanted thick hair plus I had gotten sick and had to do chemo for 6 months so I started reading a different things to try and rosemary was always in mostly all the oils or mixers so I decided to try rosemary and I put it in my shampoo because my family couldn't stand the smell. The castor oil solution started basically the same way.

It makes me really sad that it could be put to waste... IDGAF how rich you are, it's not eco-friendly to waste food that someone else could've had.

? She meant that you don't need the rice with the liquid, if you want to cook it you can do it another time

what dumbass throws rice away after washing it 😂😂 do y’all not wash ur rice?

Gosh y’all even my dumb ass got what they meant 💀 She meant that you don’t need to keep the rice grains in the rice water. I used to keep mine in but it’s not necessary lmao

@@norM_ystical You're such a dumbass

How do you apply or use it?

Same. I use rice water every few days and I never ferment it anymore. And the citrus is pretty optional too.

@@tinamendoza6689ersonally, I put it in a bowl and dip my hair and scalp in it a bunch of times after my shower. And for me, it works better to not wash it out, just style and go. But I think most people wash it out.

@katherine Arons thanks for the response. How long have you been doing it for and what is the difference you've noticed?

I find it works better if you do ferment it, but it's not necessary, especially not for 2 days, I ferment mine for 12 hours, you can smell when it's ready

She means that you don’t need the rice to stay in the water to use it. You can set aside the rice and cook it without having to have it in the water for the hair. She is just explaining that, you misunderstood. I hope that helps

Emphasis on the various delicious meals 👌🏽😂

You mean citric peels?

How does the fermentation work?

How to use it though?

Smells GOOD??? When I’ve bought fermented rice water, I wouldn’t say it smells good at all! Earthy in a way, ok. But not in a GOOD way. In a FERMENTED way. Like other fermented foods: Kim chi, pickles, beer (think old beer esp yick), sauerkraut. Not exactly the smell I want perfuming my person (though yes the smell rinses off).

can you give me your recipe?? I'm. in my forties and hair is thin now. I would love the recipe of what you use please if you don't mind

More people should mention this. I WRECKED my hair using it just once. Made my hair brittle and rough like straw. Never had so much breakage. Its only really good for damaged or very porous hair

This is true which is why the solution should be diluted after it ferments &it should be tested on a small section &people should be aware if their hair is protein sensitive.

Yep happened to me. I was able to revert it back doing a deep condition with my regular conditioner. I learned my hair is protein sensitive

How is the proper way too uae it

I’m a person either straight hair, so do i use it every weekend on a Sunday? Cuz i wash my hair once a week

I believe arroz con leche means with milk?? No milk there

​@@natab6843 The white water looks like milk

Made my hair fall out in chunks b careful

​@@joansmith6844 me too I had scalp acne , I think I have a sensitive or oily scalp that's why it didn't suit me .

@@kamashakamasha1626 in experiencing that now. Should I stop? How about coconut oil and castor oil?

never did nothing for my hair except make it shed like crazy. it was some rosemary scalp hair oil from the brand mielle that everyone swears by but it's not good

@@palestar828 same like I try to tell folks my experience it’s not good I had chunks fall out scared me so bad .. why r Others like u & I not mentioning truth .. it’s not good folks don’t go it !!!!

Yes, 100% right! In my comment I pointed out the importance of understanding that rice is a protein and if your hair doesn't need much protein, you are walking into a World of problems because, like you said, it is a hair strengthens the hair, so too much of this rice water can be detrimental! It can snap and break your hair like a twig! It's reccomended to use it just once or twice a month, but if your hair really needs it, once every two weeks. I once used protein in my hair without any true understanding of how to use it and my hair literally fried to chrisp!! In horror 😱 All I saw was my hair crumbling to the floor! And the sound was horrible, it was like listening to someone eating a bag of Chips/Chrisps! 🥠

@@odeanlawrence196how do we tell if the hair needs protein or not? My hair is fine and fragile

How often

Thank youuuu! I'll definitely check out the videos😊

I definitely agree with you, Tasheana. 👍

It's not for hair growth. It's for hair health.

@@delishme2 Well the person in the tiktok said for hair growth so…

Actually rice and oils help with hair health. Funny how you are using the same talking points as black KZfaqrs about hair growth. Genetics don’t have anything to do with hair growth just hair pattern

Massage your scalp with organic cold pressed castor oil before every hair wash. If you wash your hair everyday( try to wash it less, even every other day is ok, but if you can just wash your hair 1-2 times a week that will help) then just do this 2 times a week. Brush your hair very well to get the natural oils dispersed throughout your hair and start the stimulation of the scalp. Add your castor oil to your scalp and start massaging it into the scalp. Turn your head upside down and continue for 10 minutes. Raise your head back up and massage all over for another 5 to 10 minutes. Distribute what's left on your hands and hair down the rest of your length. Add your favorite natural cold pressed hair oil to your ends and add a shower cap and bonnet or hair scarf. Wait anywhere from 1 hr - overnight, then wash your hair twice as usual, Cleanse the scalp very well. Follow with your conditioner and hair mask, while avoiding your scalp and first few inches of hair. Let it do it's thing while you finsh up showering. Then rinse with cool water. Oiling, massage, not washing hair every day, [daily brushing to stimulate scalp:distribute the natural oils:remove any pollutants from the day], and shampooing with scalp focus, conditioning with hair focus. This will all keep your hair thick or help it to regain thickness and length. Hair Skin Nails vitamins are good. A daily multivitamin Biotin and silica can also be good for not only hair, but nails & skin. Hydrate with water

How do u ferment the rice water? Do u keep it in fridge

Yea I think so:)

PROBABLY THROWN OUT AND WASTED like she said some people keep the rice, but I don't

@@palestar828 she didn't say that though. she said you don't need it at all, meaning you don't need to use it with the water on your hair.

​@@palestar828 Hi, just gonna be annoying for a sec;;; Wasting food (or, y'know, stuff in general) is a really really bad idea, I believe... If you don't like eating rice, I mean, you can maybe find another way to use it? Like, maybe as a phone emergency kit once it dries out, or you can stuff a plushie with it, or you can make some sort of craft, or maybe a noisemaker, idk... Just, do whatever, as long as you're not exactly putting it to waste;;; ALSO, if you want to cook it, first off, while I don't know much about this, I'm pretty sure that you have to add the water back, so it has enough for cooking, at least. Just assuming from what little I know; I mean, ramen is disgustingly dry without enough water, so anything else boiled might work the same, right? Probably not. But, moving on lol. There's so many different recipes! You don't have to just force white rice down your throat! If you add a lot to the rice, you can maybe make yellow rice for tacos, or you can add some stuff to make sushi... (for sushi, you will need other specific materials though! Also, it does get kind of tedious;;; but, just a few rolls can fill you up! Compacting food just gets so surprising to me...) probably more stuff I can't think of. Hell, if you just wanna throw some random stuff together, you can toss it in as an extra ingredient in a stew or stir fry or whatever else is made out of laziness lol.

@@palestar828 You need to pay more attention, she said you don’t need to keep the grains with the water.

Thanks for sharing this tip.

I wonder…is there organic rice?

@@Propfaqs yeah I think there surely will be. We would have to pick such rice brands carefully then

I spray it in my dry hair , leave it for 45 minutes then shampoo and condition as normal . I don’t cook it , I take 1 cup of rice to 1 cup of water And let it soak for 2 days then put the rice water in a spray bottle .

@@heatherwarner2603 thank you hun! I have terrible hair loss xxx😊

Fermented rice water actually has natural saponins. So I’ve always mixed it with my shampoo.

What kind of rice do you use? How often do you use it? Girl I need your help lol.

How often do u use it ?

I hope so tooo😭

Same but anyways it works because I used to use it and my hair is lower bra strap length

What does it do

He signals and mouths right at the end "fact".

no. this video is pointless

the nutrients are good. The starches... (the stuff that the water white) isnt all that good for hair. can lead to really strong buildup.

Theres no reason to have to cut it off. Some warm water and hair conditioner would have easily fixed the knotting and removed the starch.

It’s hard to wash out

how has your hair journey gone since then?? any updates??

Ig she doesn't want it to splash around idk

What’s the protein treatment you’re using which is amazing? Please share!

Do u leave it in the refrigerator or at room temperature?

Can u share link to blog?

And that ingredient would be….?!😂

bc they ain’t know how to do it right. esp if they didn’t need it due to their hair porosity

No one else is allowed to do this? Jeez. This is also seen in Asian culture too..not just black culture ❤️

This trend was taken from Asian culture. There is a village in Asia and their women are known for using rice water. Their hair is super long and straight. The natural hair community saw the videos and decided to try it. I think people with course hair shouldn’t do this trend bc their hair is different from straight Asian hair. But it is basically just a protein treatment. Nevertheless, it tends to add too much protein depending on the porosity of the hair.

as much as I'm not the most eligible to speak up for y'all as I'm Asian, I think it's a method that works better for Asian hair specifically (out of all races, i believe). It works alright on me, and my hair is pretty thin and pin straight, but it helps my hair grow real fast.

@@worstusernameintheworld9871 That’s actually not true! I have kinky coily hair and use rice water, and it works great. What people need to realize is that _low porosity hair_ is sensitive to protein (because it takes awhile for water and products to absorb into your hair. You can tell you have low porosity hair because water just kind of sit on top of the hair strands in little beads at first rinse). Low porosity hair has mostly closed hair strand pores, thus it retains its hydration well, but it can be hard to get it to absorb anything without washing it squeaky clean first. Because of this, low porosity hair is also is prone to product build up, so protein treatments too often are _the worst_ for it. A lot of natural girlies didn’t know their porosity type yet, and it turns out a lot more coily and curly girls had medium and low porosity hair than they thought. Fyi, high porosity hair absorbs water like a sponge, then dries fast (in fast, out fast) because the pores on the hair strands are blown open. Often times, people who dye and/bleach their hair have high porosity hair (hair porosity can change depending on how it’s maintained; the roots are generally lower porosity than the ends, since the ends are older). Rice water works _great_ on high porosity hair, as the protein acts like a shield to some of those pores, which allows the hair to trap some water for awhile and resist dryness. My hair is low porosity, but I have freeform locs and only use shampoo (no condition or any cream products. Only shampoo, then coconut oil after the shower). I can get away with doing a rice water treatment 1x to 2x a month without getting build up because of my zero-build-up regimen. Loc build up is horrible for locs as they get longer, because heavier locs = traction alopecia and locs falling out at 5 years+ loc’d). So, yeah! Now you know. 😄 I learned all this from The Green Beauty’s channel. She’s a scientist and a black woman with long, loose natural hair who has many videos explaining the science behind natural hair, and she did a few videos on rice water and what it does scientifically for the hair a couple years back.

Yes. Like straw.

@@cupiedoll9759 thats the starches. wash the rice until the water remains clear. then use *fresh* water and let the rice sit for a few hours or a day. youll have water with all the nutrients, but without the starches.

😂perfect I just mix it with water and sprayed on my hair
