Real Facts about RICE WATER - Watch this before using it

[@GreenBeauty]

If your hair loves Rice Water but, you're concerned about the arsenic ... you can keep using it. Try this: 1. use only blown or black rice 2. boil it in water 3. discard that water 4. the rice is now safe to use --- OR --- try other grains like Quinoa

[@jennifer-227]

I actually use black rice but I dont boil it

[@vonndlee530]

For this reason. I purchase black or red rice from India. I still wash & boil it like in your video.

[@bintusabir]

This video was very informative, thanks 😊.

[@sssssssss111]

Yes, rice water has arsenic in it but it barely gets absorbed by the skin ( you can verify this by Googling studies ) .. You can bathe in rice water and it won't do you as much harm as eating a bowl of rice. People also love feeding their babies those rice based snacks. A lot of peoples water is contaminated with straight up arsenic in higher levels than in rice water and showering in that is proven to be fine.

[@thetracy1013]

Hi GreenBeauty, Lets put the arsenic as one thing. What about the parasites (supposedly) from the fermentation process of the rice water getting into the head/brain and that rice water only works well on high porosity hair and will eventually ruin it and regular porosity hair......that’s what us naturals and others want to know.........We trust your research along with your opinion. Thank you for all you do, Sandra

I’ve been told by doctors that washing rice throughly before use gets ride of the arsenic in rice, and even before then I was raised to wash my rice before cooking it because of chemicals used to grow it. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@sassyrarebreed9914]

Yes, Dr's say that but I know for facts they don't tell all the truth. I have 7 specialist in my family. Let's not forget there's plastic rice now coming from China and most people can't tell. This is why I've NEVER jumped on the rice water ban wagon.

[@GreenBeauty]

Doctors are trained to diagnose symptoms and prescribe pharmaceuticals. They are not trained to know how to remove arsenic from an organic material like rice. A scientific study is what it takes to understand how to do that (trial-and-error). Fortunately, that has been done, please refer to the References in the description section.

Always with the science! Thank you for covering this, I've learned to keep my mouth shut in my natural hair groups because some women don't want to do more research on anything, just bandwagoning on the next trend and the next trend. And too many hair vloggers keep churning out rice water videos to make a quick coin with no regard for the potential harm behind certain methods.

I don’t think I’m gonna give it up. I’ve only used it a couple times since the boom of it happened on YT. I should care, but there’s so many poisons in everything we consume because of the FDA.

[@ijehmakuochiconfidence6085]

Hello Green beauty, could you kindly do a video on the science of slippery elm and marshmallow roots powder

[@bbll3729]

I think the problem here is that too many people are preparing rice water incorrectly and are *not* doing *proper* research. When I came across the rice water I did research on how to proper prepare and use it. During my research I came across videos here on KZbin of the Yao women demonstrating how to properly prepare and apply it to your hair. The videos directions are summarized as follows: *1* They use the first two rinse water from the rice. Which is why they call it "rice *rinse* water" (however since I'm in America I use the second and third rinse waters). *2* Then they add the following: camellia defatted cake, pomelo peel, orange peel and any other citrus and non-citrus peels you want to add to the rinse water. *3* They then boil the rinse water with the items mentioned in step 2 *(NO rice is in the pot).* Everything is boiled until the consistency is thickened. *Personal opinion* I believe the defected camella cake is what thickens the water. And because I don't have defected camilla cake *i* apply camella oil directly to my hair. During the leaving moisturizer phase and *ii* I boil everything down until it is half the original amount. Meaning if I started with 10 cups I boil it down to 5 cups. *4* Once their water becomes thick they store it in a clay or ceramic pot that is always by their wooden stove. They also add the new batch to the old batch. *5* They leave everything to ferment for 7-30 days before using it. According to a Yao woman depending on the household that will determine what they add to their rice rinse water and if it is fermented 7 days, 10 days, 14 days etc. Personally I think all this hoopla about rice water being dangerous is hysteria. It's not a big deal we have been eating the rice for how long? And it hasn't killed us yet. It is also stated the amount of arsenic that may possibly be in rice is too low to be dangerous to our consumption.

Please upload a video on your whole boxbraid installation process. I would really appreciate it.

Thank you so much for the info sis! I knew food was contaminated with chemicals but I didn’t know it was this bad tbh. I’ll all for natural foods but now I’ll be more careful with where I get it from. How’s your parsley rebuilding process going?

[@nicolejoseph5776]

Thanks a lot for this researched information! You're a life savior👍

[@yahushuaschosen4129]

THANK YOU!!! A very smart move to move. I really appreciate this vital information. Just use "RICE WATER " a few days ago. We just can't win here in America.

[@CREEPYKOULWAH]

I love this. So subbing u. The education is mind blowing.

[@Kmishelle]

I'm so glad you made this video. I never got into the rice water craze because I heard early on about the arsenic. I'm just going to stick to onion oil for hair growth & egg masks for my protein lol

[@scienciapaul7999]

What about black rice? I purchased this through Amazon. But does that work better than brown rice?

[@longyarn4288]

Where was it grown?

[@driaannbull]

I have never tried rice water in my hair. Was not interested in it. #gladIdidnt...I did try the onion rinse though for some months and I notice more growth. So thanks for that tip! 👍🏾 Now I'm not doing any of that and it's still growing...

Hi, wasn't sure how to contact you, but I'd like to request something. Could you do a video on how to use scarves as a protective style? If possible, this will be much appreciated. Thank you.

[@italia92084]

Have you experimented with black rice oil? I just saw a video on black rice and making oil with it for hair growth.

[@cfoster6804]

I used to use it and it absolutely works but after I couldn't find the cleansing agent that the Yao women use with it I just went back to ayurvedic herbs. I get the same results. There's no controversy there over poison or possible bad bacteria from incorrect fermentation. If I have to be worried about all that then I don't want to bother. I use whole herbs only not powders.

[@Blosoomlicous]

Hi @greenbeauty is this true for wild rice and black rice as well?

[@sarahsio7815]

I know this isn’t the subject of your video but just wondering if you can do research on smelly hair. Thanks!

[@oliwoodnorth2371]

I had major breakage with rice water so I don't use it. There are other healthier protein treatments.

[@KellzH]

Thank you for sharing this information and providing references so that we can further investigate and educate ourselves! I’ve used rice water once but considering the information you presented, it’s highly unlikely that I’ll use it again.

[@longyarn4288]

Just be aware of where it comes from, or use quinoa. It's not difficult.

[@Inaesteeina]

I've always washed my rice, its ingrained in me. I tend to use rice from India and Thailand. What's your take on potato juice on hair? As always, love your videos and thorough research. Thanking for sharing!💛

[@delucastudios3097]

wait thailand is ok too? I need suggestions of brands.. i’ve been searching all these levels and usa/ca or italy

[@starr6982]

So glad I subcribed, very informative - Thanks sis!!!

[@ladylowe3917]

I think I need another way to get my protein treatments, I'm so greatful you told us because I never knew thank you for your informative videos I always listen to you and your word
