How do you make thick rice water for hair?

To make thick rice water for hair, you'll need to soak the rice grains in water, following a few simple steps to prepare it. Here's how:

1. Rinse the rice: Start by rinsing 1/2 cup (95 g) of uncooked rice in a strainer to remove any impurities. This step ensures a cleaner rice water solution.

2. Soak the rice: Place the rinsed rice into a bowl. Add 2–3 cups (470–710 ml) of water. The amount of water depends on how thick you want your rice water to be. Less water will yield a more concentrated solution.

3. Let it soak: Allow the rice to soak in the water for 30 minutes. This allows the beneficial nutrients and starches from the rice to infuse into the water, which is what contributes to the thickness of the rice water.

4. Strain the rice water: After soaking, strain the rice water into an airtight container such as a bottle or jar. The rice should be separated from the liquid.

5. Store it properly: Store the rice water in your refrigerator for up to 1 week. This will keep it fresh and ready for use.
