With benefits like increased hair growth, stronger strands, and a healthier scalp, it'd be silly not to use rice water for hair. But if your hair is feeling worse off than before, welp, now you know and can move on to finding a hair mask that does work for you.

Look for a rice water shampoo or other treatment that’s intended for your hair type and texture, and that will help you get that much closer to your hair goals. There are actually only eight ingredients in the formula, including exfoliating lactic and glycolic acids to help break down build-up on your scalp and hair, plus moisturizing aloe vera. That said, Hill and board-certified dermatologist Morgan Rabach, MD, point out that there is no reliable scientific evidence to prove that rice water promotes hair growth. Brown rice may have slightly different properties than white rice, and it has more nutrient value, so it should still be effective.And when you're done, go ahead and use those grains in a homemade rice scrub or a rice milk cleanser for a head-to-toe beauty boost.
