Rice Water Rosemary Soft Hair Rinse

Why this rinse is gentle and simple

Rice water gives a light, soft-feeling rinse, while rosemary adds a fresh herbal note. This recipe is for hair lengths and scalp comfort rituals, not a medical hair-growth treatment.

Recipe ingredients

• 2 tablespoons uncooked white rice, rinsed
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 small rosemary sprig or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Optional: 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel for extra slip

How to prepare it

1. Rinse the rice until the water runs mostly clear.
2. Soak rice in 1 cup warm water with rosemary for 30 minutes.
3. Strain well into a clean bottle.
4. If using aloe, whisk it into 1/4 cup of the strained liquid right before use.
5. Use the same day; discard leftovers.

How to use it

1. After shampoo, pour slowly over scalp and lengths.
2. Massage lightly with fingertips for 30 seconds.
3. Leave on 2–3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
4. Follow with conditioner if your hair feels tangly.
