Does It Really Work? What Experts Say

In order to find out the actual truth behind the effectiveness of this, we contacted Dr. Sukansha Kulshrestha, Consultant Cosmetologist, IFAM, Lucknow. She described that rice water is an ancient Asian natural hair treatment. It has amino acids, vitamins and antioxidants that may provide nutrients to the scalp.

The rice water aids in making the hair roots stronger and could stop breakages. It also calms the scalp, and it grows the baby's hair. Yet it depends on the individual, she said. The expert also noted that rice water can enhance the texture and the shine of hair, but not necessarily resolve the serious case of hair loss. Medical advice and treatments are relevant in such instances.
