A popular home remedy in many Eastern countries before it became a cult favourite, rice water is something that many celebrities, influencers and beauty experts swear by for their hair.

I have an oily scalp so my hair gets greasy and gets weighed down very fast, rice water ensured my hair remained light but didn't help much with oil control.
Benefits:
Rice water is known to promote hair growth.
It coats the strands, protecting them from heat, dust, etc.
Helps in de-frizzing the hair, promotes elasticity and leaves it feeling smooth and shiny.
Make sure you use rice water on your hair not more than twice a week.
