Rice water cleans hair without drying them. My hair used to it. When I from time to time again to use shampoos from the stores, I have a feeling that they completely wash out natural oil, causing the hair to become very thin and brittle. Then I have to further use a hydrating mask, serums and conditioners to moisturize hair.

Preparation of fermented rice water

First you need to save up enough rice water. One way is to save the water left over after cooking rice. Water after first rinsing the rice it is better to drain as it may contain dirt.

If you cook rice two or three times a week, you should accumulate a sufficient amount of water. You can also specifically add to the rice with more water.

After the rice water is obtained, you can begin the fermentation process. Leave the water in the same capacity and hold it for one day at room temperature until it is slightly sour and begins to ferment.

Then boil it to stop the fermentation process. Turn off the heat, let water cool and add a few drops of tea tree oil (you can use lavender or rosemary oil).

Now your water is to wash your hair ready. Store it in the refrigerator to prevent further fermentation. 1.7 l of concentrated fermented rice water I have enough for the week. I use it for shampooing and for washing face morning and evening.

The correct proportion

On my long hair I take 1-1,5 cups of fermented rice water, which is diluted to 10-12 cups of warm water. Don't forget to stir the rice water after you take it out of the fridge.

This proportion may vary depending on the type and length of hair. Rice use less water if you have oily hair. Basic rule: the solution should be diluted rather than concentrated. Once you manage to find a suitable ratio of water and fermented rice solution, you will feel positive changes in the condition of your hair.

Tips for washing hair

Take a bottle with rice water and a basin, over which you will wash head. Gently massage the rice mixture into your scalp and saturate their hair. You can try to wash my hair over the sink or in the shower, putting the bowl on the stool.

Rinse hair with cooler water than usual. If you have long hair and after shampooing you want to immediately take a shower, then kill them in a bun.

Of course, not everyone will like this wash process. But the elderly Chinese women working in the canteen at the place where I work absolutely love it. One of them had problems with the hair. After she started to use fermented rice water instead of shampoo, hair began to fall less.

It took me a few weeks to adapt to this process of washing heads and come up with tricks to make it easier. Since the washing your hair with fermented rice water has become an integral part of my recipes for a healthy and natural lifestyle. published
