How To Make Rice Water For Hair Growth And Conditioning

January 14, 2021 by Shellie Wilson Leave a Comment

Basic Rice water for your hair is so easy to make. I love when basic natural remedies are used to treat hair. Some of these old wives tales are being brought back into the limelight and I love it! So why is fermented rice water good for hair? Well it is actually good for your skin too.

Using rice water to strengthen and condition hair isn’t a new thing. It dates back to the ancient Heian period in Japan, when court ladies were known to have beautiful, long hair that draped to the floor which reminds me of the book and movie Memoirs of a Geisha. Have you read it ? But rice water is not just for growth, it is more commonly being used on Natural curls to help define and condition them. Rice water has been used medicinally in many cultures for a very long time.

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup of White Rice
1 Cup of Water

The key to rice water is the fermentation, this process can take 6-8 hours or overnight. Soak your rice in water until it begins to smell sour or fermented.

I like to make my Rice Water with Coconut & Essential Oils to combat dryness and the smell.

1/2 Cup of Rice
2 Tablespoons of Coconut Oil
3-4 Drops of Lavender Essential Oil
1 Cup of Water

Apply to hair and allow to soak in for 15-30 mins before rinsing out, use 3-4 times a month to promote hair growth and conditioning.

Why You’ll Love This DIY Halloween Scrub

Looks like a bubbling cauldron (especially in black or purple jars)
Gently exfoliates and moisturizes dry autumn skin
Scented with spooky-good essential oils (think patchouli, orange, and clove)
Made with simple pantry staples
Customisable with shimmer, color, or even candy eyeballs (for visual fun—not for use!)

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar (white or brown)
¼ cup coconut oil (or grapeseed oil)
1 tbsp activated charcoal (for a spooky black color)
½ tsp green mica or cosmetic-grade shimmer (optional cauldron glow)
5 drops orange essential oil
3 drops clove essential oil
2 drops patchouli or cinnamon essential oil
Optional: ½ tsp vanilla extract (for a sweet twist)
Optional topping: candy eyeballs or star confetti (for display only!)

Instructions:

In a bowl, combine sugar, charcoal, and mica powder. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add the coconut oil and stir to create a wet, sandy texture.
Drop in the essential oils and vanilla extract, if using. Mix well.
Spoon into a small jar or Halloween-themed container. If gifting, top with a candy eyeball or wrap with a “Witch’s Brew” label.

How to Use:

In the shower, scoop a tablespoon and gently massage into damp skin in circular motions. Avoid the face (due to charcoal), and rinse thoroughly. Follow with body butter or lotion for spellbinding softness.

Gifting Idea:

Pair it with a “Batty Bath Bomb” or “Pumpkin Spice Lip Balm” in a little Halloween basket. Great for party favours, teacher gifts, or seasonal markets!
