Share on Pinterest It’s not easy to blindly dump rice water out of a big container and onto your hair (I know, I tried it). Just don’t forget to take the small container out of the shower and back to the fridge when you’re done! The rice water should keep in the fridge for up to a week, so you have plenty of time to reap the awesome hair benefits. How to use it: You won’t need to change your washing schedule around your rice water rinse — simply use it after shampooing and conditioning, whether that’s once a day or once a week. When applying the rice water, try to really focus in on your scalp and work your way out. Let it sit for two to five minutes, and then rinse. You’ll probably notice immediately how strong and thick your hair feels. The resultsHere’s my experience using a rice water rinse. After one minute: My hair already felt different. It seemed to have some sort of outer coating, or a thin shell, around each strand, protecting my hair as I brushed through it. Usually my hair is breaking as I work my detangling brush through my hair. But this time, my hair held its own. After one day: The morning after my first rice water rinse, my best friend told me that my hair looked brighter and blonder. After one week (approximately four washes): My hair felt thicker, fuller, and more manageable. I experimented with blow-drying my hair, which I NEVER do because of the instant broken flyaways that usually frame my head immediately afterwards. This time? Little to no noticeable breakage. My hair was still extremely soft, but not in a feathery, light way — in a fuller and more noticeable way, like I had developed a partial mane. I wore my hair half up in a bun with a regular ponytail holder (I usually always need to use scrunchies to prevent breakage, no exceptions), and effortlessly pulled it out, letting my hair fall as if it had never been pulled up.
