Woman transformed her dry, damaged hair using rice water – and it looks SO shiny
WHEN you straighten and blow dry your hair as much as we do, it’s almost inevitable that your locks will start looking a little dry over time.
Well forget splashing out on leave-in conditioners and expensive oils – because one savvy woman has revealed how she restored her hair’s shine using RICE water.
Bekkii wanted to do something about her ‘damaged and dry’ hair[/caption]Posting the haircare hack on her TikTok account, Australian beauty fan Bekkii Vosper explained how her hair had become “super damaged and dry”.
Sharing a close-up look of her hair, she said: “It doesn’t look that bad but it’s pretty bad for me. It’s really really gross.”
After seeing other people nourish their hair with rice water, Bekkii decided to give it a go for herself.
Using some she already had in her cupboards, Bekkii started by filling the bottom of a bottle with rice and topping it up with water.

“My hair looks so good and so shiny,” Bekkii said. “And it’s so silky. I can’t believe it.”

Hairdresser Ozzie Rizzo told the Metro: “The cloudy water left over from soaking rice, is hugely beneficial for hair growth and overall hair health.
