- Prep Time: 24 hours
- Cook Time: 24 hours
- Total Time: 24 hours
- Yield: one application 1x
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons uncooked rice
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons aloe vera gel
- 2 drops essential oils (optional, I used rosemary)
Instructions
- Place the rice in a bowl and rinse thoroughly under water. Swirl it around until the water runs clear—this removes excess starch and impurities.
- Add ½ cup of hot water to the rinsed rice and let it soak for up to 24 hours. Cover the bowl loosely with a cloth or lid. Once done, strain out the rice and keep the water.
- In a small bowl, stir the essential oil (if using) into the aloe vera gel.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the strained rice water to the aloe vera mixture. Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
- On clean, damp hair, apply the mask starting at the scalp. Massage in gently and work your way down to the ends. Leave it on for 20–30 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. No need to shampoo again unless your hair feels oily.
