Skip the Rice Water Rinse - Try This

If you're as obsessed with haircare as we are, odds are you've tried a rice water rinse before. Rice water is known for its hair benefits- it detangles hair and repairs damage. Rice water is the starchy liquid left over when rice is soaked or boiled in water. The not-so-fun part about these rinses is how long they take- typical guides suggest storing your rice water for anywhere from 12-24 hours! That's why we're skipping the hassle and going for the good stuff- keep reading to learn more.

LET’S TALK RICE WATER 🍚

Rice water is packed with tons of vitamins and minerals associated with hair benefits. It contains vitamin E, A, and antioxidants which are linked to hair growth. Advocates of rice water for hair growth suggest that it:

• detangles hair
• promotes hair growth

IS IT WORTH THE HYPE? ❓😯

Although rice water is packed with nutrients, rice water rinses can have some drawbacks. Those who regularly do rice water rinses for hair growth and shine found that it caused:

• flaky buildup on the scalp (no thanks!)
