Rice water is thought to contain many of the vitamins and minerals contained in rice like amino acids, B vitamins, vitamin E, minerals and antioxidants.
Rice water detangles the hair and makes it smoother, shinier, and stronger. It also helps with hair growth.
According to Dr Brian, all you have to do is apply the rice water to the scalp for hair growth, and it can repair damaged hair too.
Research from a 2010 study back this theory up suggesting rice water may reduce surface friction and increase hair elasticity.
It is also said a research facility in Japan has developed an imaging technique that visualised the strengthening effect of inositol(a component found in rice water) on hair.
