Ingredients
Half a cup uncooked rice, 2-3 cups water, half lemon (optional, for extra benefits), and a spray bottle (for storing fermented rice water). Natural boosters like Aloe Vera, Rosemary oil, Peppermint oil, or Green tea (optional).
Prepare Rice Water
Wash half a cup of raw rice to eliminate contaminants. Soak it in 2-3 cups of water for 30 minutes.
Ferment the Rice Water (Optional)
After this, let the soaked rice water sit at room temperature for 24-48 hours before it develops a slightly sour odour.
Scalp Massage
Take some time to gently massage the rice water into damp scalp areas. You have to concentrate on bald patches to encourage blood flow and growth.
Leave and Rinse
The final step is to let rice water stay for around 20-30 minutes on the scalp and rinse or leave it there.
