Do YOU KNOW for YOURSELF that it WORKS?!

Had to re-subscribe to respond to your question to let you know what rice water did for my hair.
Been on the fence about trying rice water treatment for several months. In the meantime, my hair was shedding big time. Tea rinses, coffee rinses, ACV rinses didn't help! Whenever I combed my hair, I'd get a comb full of hair! Even running my hands through my hair, I would get a handful of hair. Why I have "any hair" on my head today is a mystery given as much as I lost. It shedded so badly, I had a bald spot where my widow's peak "
used to be!" Plus, my edges have all but disappeared.
Two weeks ago, I finally took the plunge and tried rice water. I washed my hair, moisturized/deep-condished with oil and honey added to the mixture. I rinsed, then...applied the rice water treatment. I didn't rinse it out.
Results: NO SHEDDING!!! Only a "few strands" in my comb. I couldn't believe the results! I thought improvement, if any, would result over time if I was consistent and lucky. 2nd treatment was last week. Again, I only lost a few strands! I don't think I received any growth in these two weeks. I'm aiming for retention, strength and minimal-to-no-shedding. Rice water treatment has addressed these issues. I let my rice water ferment for over a week. I added peppermint e.o., lavender e.o. and grapefruit extract to minimize the smell. Didn't work in my case. The smell was enough to kill the dead!!! But I was desperate. I was tired of losing my hair. The smell dissipated once my hair dried. However, when my hair dried, it was hard. I had to lightly dampen it with liquid leave-in spray and applied avocado oil and re-braid. When my hair dried this time, it was so soft and somewhat straighter (I have natural 4b hair). I'm sorry this so long. Just wanted to share my experience with rice water. It's a keeper for me.
All the money I spent on expensive hair products to stop this massive shedding when the answer was in my kitchen all along for just a few cents on the $$$. Good luck if you decide to try it.
