2. Fermented Rice Water – The Yao Women’s Way

Want a more potent version? Go for fermented rice water, which increases the efficacy of nutrients and promotes even more growth.

How to Make It:

Follow the basic rice water method.

Add pomelo, grapefruit, or orange peels to the water.

Seal it in an airtight glass jar and store it in a dark place.

Let it ferment for 5 days to 6 weeks, depending on room temperature.

How to Use:

Use as a hair rinse on clean hair.

Let it sit for 15–20 minutes before rinsing.

For targeted scalp care, use a spray or squeeze bottle to apply directly to the roots.

Bonus Tip:
Add a few drops of essential oils like rosemary, peppermint, or tea tree for even better results.

3. Rice Water-Infused Hair Products
If DIY isn’t your thing, you can still get the benefits of rice water by using pre-made rice water-infused products. These are great for consistency and convenience.

These products fit seamlessly into your routine, so you won’t forget or skip the treatment.

How Often Should You Use It?
Once a week is ideal. Overuse can lead to protein overload, making your hair feel stiff or even causing breakage. You can start with biweekly use and monitor your results. For sensitive scalps or allergy-prone skin, always perform a patch test first.

Final Tips for Best Results

Use rice water on clean hair for better absorption.

Pair with a scalp massage to boost circulation.

Combine with natural oils (like rosemary or peppermint) to supercharge results.

Store homemade rice water in the fridge and use within a week (unless fermented).
