Strong and shiny hair
Women in East Asia have been using it for centuries: rice water, especially fermented rice water, strengthens the hair fiber and stimulates growth.
The right approach: after shampooing, rinse your hair with rice water, gently massage your scalp, then leave it on for five to ten minutes before rinsing with cold water. The result: soft, shiny, and visibly stronger hair.
Tip: Let your rice water sit at room temperature for 24 hours to increase its fortifying power tenfold.
Your plants' green ally

Why keep the benefits of rice water to yourself? Your plants love it too! Rich in starch and minerals, it acts as a gentle, natural fertilizer.
Let it cool, then water your houseplants or garden once a week. You can also mist the leaves with it: they'll be greener and more resilient. And if you're growing herbs or vegetables, the fermented version will stimulate their growth even more.
