BLACK RICE Water For Even Faster Hair Growth!? | Natural Hair | Melissa Denise

[@MelissaDenise]

Have you gotten into rice water yourself?!

[@megan5983]

Melissa Denise can you do an extreme hair growth challenge with black rice water in it

[@yapanahahchar2797]

@Melissa Denise I've tried but wasn't consistent, lol. Like right now I have black rice water sitting in my fridge. Has your scalp burned and itch after you applied the black rice water using your method

[@karenhorton148]

MD Yes, I’ve made and used fermented organic white rice w/tea tree oil added to mask the smell🤓 I’d begun seeing breakage like I hadn’t seen since transitioning. After my 1st use I quickly noticed the shedding diminish almost immediately. Now I’m using it about every 3 weeks. I’m excited to try the black rice to avoid that putrid odor❤️tfs

[@megan5983]

Yapana Ahchar i use black rice water and it itches for a 2-3 mins but it has never burned before

[@tamaracrawford9201]

question do you reuse the rice once used one time with the fermented stage?

[@ladyrealness1276]

I swear I have been using the rice water method for over a year and I started with shoulder length hair now I'm at almost waist length. I'm a firm believer in this method cause it actually works.

[@ionlycompetewiththewomaniw5429]

It really does work very well.

What's your regime with it if you don't mind sharing....ive been wanting to try it

[@itsMellaBella]

Did you use the black rice or the white rice when getting to almost waist length?

lady realness 12 can you tell us how you use the rice water ? :)

[@shakimasweetz3529]

The leftover black rice works WONDERS as a deep conditioner! I blended mine into a smooth paste and added my essential oils, ginger and a little bit of my favorite hair conditioner for fragrance.

[@nicolercorbin]

Taking notes. I was wondering if the leftover rice could be used.

[@Sweetlady1720]

I use black rice instead of white. It has been better than the white rice. Whole foods sells black rice as well

What you'll need: 1 cup black rice 2 cups water Fine strainer Cheese cloth Air tight container Scalp massager Steps: 1. Rinse rice 2. Put rinsed rice in air tight container 3. Pour water over rice 4. Let sit for at least 24 hrs but up to 2 days is fine 5. Strain liquid into container for storage 6. Use cheese cloth to squeeze out extra liquid into container 7. Pour more water to dilute mixture 8. Pour into spray bottle 9. Spray onto hair and scalp 10. Massage scalp with scalp massage brush 11. Put into a bun, let sit for 1 hour 12. Wash and condition as usual Good for 1 week in the fridge, should complete this process 1 to 2 times a month. Did I get that correct?

[@Natalia-hf3et]

[@katrinac5562]

I ❤ the results with rice water. One thing that I've noticed when scrolling through comments regarding rice water is that some people are following others blindly. If your hair feels hard after using rice water, deep condition it. Condition it afterwards even if it doesn't feel hard. If your scalp is itching, it could need clarifying (especially at the crown) or it could require moisture (especially if chemicals or heat was used in the recent past). Take a mirror and see for yourself, regardless of what anyone else says. Protein can be drying on the scalp. It'll be even worse if your scalp is already dry to start with. Maybe try adding tea tree oil, pure aloe and/or an orange rind. Add essential oils that address your needs even if you don't have scalp issues because there's no sense in walking around smelling like a doo doo head. Like, why... Why? Once fermentation has started, refrigerate the water. And make smaller batches. It really doesn't have to smell bad. If your scalp is itching and red or you think you're having a reaction, well... maybe it's a no for you. :( Not everything is for everyone. We do so much for our hair in our quest for *our* holy grail products. I hate to hear of people losing inches while still on the discovery process. These videos are awesome and very helpful, but listen to YOUR hair the most.

[@MelissaDenise]

@Jai Lloyd yes, I love it. I have used for consistently for one month and my hair shedding reduced considerably. I was shocked, my hair grows and sheds very fast. I have low porosity hair and it left my hair soft. I find white rice to be too harsh for my hair. Then again, I eat wild/black rice or Brown as well so it was handy.

After I ferment my black rice, I blend it in my nutri bullet, strain it with my nut bag and make black rice milk. I do the milk because it is thicker and easier to apply. The milk is more satisfying too 💜💜 vs the black rice water I use to make. I do this once-twice a month only because I prefer my onion-garlic-cayenne-ginger juice treatment better

[@jodrew1845]

Great suggestion of the black rice for this treatment. Also, given the fact that black rice can be a bit expensive it is perhaps wise to use less to create the fermenting liquid. And yeah, that white rice liquid can be down right putrid. I actually stopped using it because of that very reason. It took three weeks to get that stench out of my hair... disgusting!

Hi, new subbie I've been fermenting rice water for years. You dont have to throw the rice away you can refrigerate it and use it again in the next fermentation process. It will eventually dissolve into your water and you just feed it more rice as needed. I find that this can make my water a little fizzy sometimes, but saves me money 😊

Maybe you should do a porosity test on your strands, you may have high porosity and caring for your hair like it's low porosity... It don't matter your texture type, but knowing your liquid absorbance level is key to taking better care of your hair... for me I have low porosity hair but I was taking care of my hair like you take care of it if you have high porosity so my hair would only grow so long once I tested it and found out I switched it up and now my hair is growing again... I do use rice water treatments (but I haven't yet started black rice water I will soon) they it does work but because I have low porosity hair, I can't use as much protein on my hair but if you have high porosity you can use protein on your hair more...

I've heard of the black rice water treatment but in my opinion none of them explain it like you did so thank you for that I have length to my hair but not so much the strength so praying and hoping to find something that will give me length, strong, Heather hair thanks so much for sharing have a blessed day today in Jesus Christ our Lord GOD and savor JESUS CHRIST by

[@shaneanfriends]

[@Jas-lo2cb]

Thank you so much for this video :-) I never buy white rice and I've been looking for reviews on black/red/brown rice water with no success. I will definitely try it now !

[@MelissaDenise]

Thank you for watching!! So glad I can help Jas!

[@deondreawalker4282]

Never heard of this wanted to try to the rice water but I definitely will be trying to the black Rice instead

[@LunaPaloma77]

Well I've been eating black rice for years and shaving my hair for half a decade. Now that I kind of want to grow my hair back I think I might just use the black rice water on my hair and see how it goes. My hair grows 0.6 inch in a month ( which is very slow ) but I don't have patience to deal with it so I just keep shaving it. Let's see. Great video btw.

[@auchiethomas2560]

I've never heard of black rice but i have to find it

[@VividRose]

I bought mine from Publix. Haven't used it yet but I will soon. I'm excited!!!

[@toniclanton832]

How much was it at publix? 🤗

[@VividRose]

Toni Clanton around $4.50-$5

[@MelissaDenise]

Yay!! Can't wait for you to use it either!!!

[@sabster79]

I love the nutty taste of black rice too 😋. Rice water is also an amazing face cleanser. So glowy 😊.

[@phillybertful]

Can I use this everyday? Also, after a week in the fridge, do you throw the rest away and start over? My hair is very short, thin, and never grows.

[@shalwasirknockum5474]

I knew it was better and wanted to see how to make the rinse. Blessings. New subscriber

[@Motiva8-TV]

Thanks for sharing. I didn't know about black rice water

[@RAiNbabyXD]

honestly didn't know black rice was actually a thing cuz I never seen it in stores, but I do remember as a kid, my family dishes oftenly had black rice but I always thought it was black because of some seasoning ingredients or cuz of the beans. but this is awesome! I'm so going to give this a try!

[@FKA_TUCSON]

if anyone shops at Wegmans, they sell black rice in the bulk section

[@MelissaDenise]

Ahhhh i love that store....they don't have it in my area!! Thanks for sharing with everyone!!

[@jasminee2320]

Thanks for the tip! :)

[@FKA_TUCSON]

@@MelissaDenise no problem! I picked some up after watching this video and I finally fermented it in a jar - i'll leave an update after use

[@FKA_TUCSON]

UPDATE: so it's been almost 3 days since I've used the black rice water and my hair still feels VERY soft and manageable!! like a baby's hair. this is gonna be a new staple for my hair growth regimen.

[@sharonwilliams1361]

@@FKA_TUCSON Are you still using the black rice? If you are, what have your results looked like?

[@gswpower7098]

I've been using black rice for years and since it's a little pricey you can freeze the rice after you strain it and reuse it a few times

[@gswpower7098]

@Jai Lloyd I sure have... I big chopped 9 months ago and my hair is a inch above my bottom bra line when I first cut it it was just reaching collar bone length. Btw I go back and forth with black and whole grain rice

[@MelissaDenise]

Thanks for sharing!!!

[@flexingingodspeace7774]

GSW Power does it have more protein in it then white rice?

[@linnyw1072]

You could use 1/2 the rice..put it in a food processor to powder it up and use that with filtered water.for the same results.the starch is what you poured down the drain thats what helps your hair....

[@valeriesmith15]

Thank you for the video, definitely going to try black rice water.

[@MelissaDenise]

Thank YOU for watching Valerie!!

[@franchesskaw36]

You can get it food the natural food stores and Kroger

[@shannybrown4186]

Loveeeee your hair 😍

[@kismetbridgeforth9131]

Black rice and red rice are easily found in oriental food markets usually for a lot less than almost anywhere else.

[@thesacredbombshell]

Thank you!

[@awwyeahme2]

How many cups of rice? Did you use it before you shampoo an conditioner?

[@frugaljoss1307]

Thanks for sharing your video about black rice water I'll definitely try it

[@ylstaggs]

Never tried the black rice, the white rice I tried, but I’m going to do the black rice!

[@swhineglass]

Can you leave the black rice water in your hair without causing damage to your hair?

[@GoogleAccount-fo9hp]

This is the first time I've seen black rice used for hair growth. I was watching and listening to your advice and suggestions and then BAM @ 3:54 we got the first visual of your face and hair you are absolutely GORGEOUSSSSS.

[@jaleaalexander1555]

Omg thank you so much for the video. This should helps my daughter's fizzy hair cause no products works

[@kalikamille1565]

I’m glad you did a video on this I was going to try black rice when I finished with my other rice water and I’m glad to know that the steps are basically the same 🙏🏾✊🏾✌🏾

[@deridaluke9357]

I’ve been eating only black rice for years now. I started using the black rice water earlier this year when I moved back to the Caribbean. I have not been using it so often and I boiled the rice before fermentation. As soon as I get out of bed I’m going to ferment some the way you did it. Thanks for sharing

[@JJLo2]

I just started my rice water and see results after 3 weeks

[@immaa1234]

Thank you for the video. Just received my fist black rice order today and am ready to try.

[@carmenhomer1965]

Bought that same brand on Amazon and have using as a leave in. I have seen some growth.

[@margueritemcnair1784]

Cheaper on Ebay

[@tanekaglass1804]

Using as a leave in....do you add essential oils, blow dry, and style as desired. TIA

[@latoyamack5172]

That’s what I’m using it for. Wash it out on wash day.

[@Mariah_678]

Sooooo glad i clicked on your video i do rice water once a week but i never heard of black rice im so excited

[@opaltree6428]

Ok your hair is 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@erickajohnson2755]

Whole Foods has black rice. Also called forbidden rice

[@ladybug7407]

I used rice water and my hair felt so hard so I hated the treatment, it took forever for my hair to get back on track. You made a statement about diluting the water, maybe that's where I went wrong.

[@tokirasolar]

Your curly hair is so beautiful 😍
