My favorite DIY treatment uses 2 ingredients you’ll already have – it’s amazing for hair growth, Rapunzel is shaking
A CELEBRITY hairstylist has revealed how to make her two-ingredient hair growth mask.
Both of the items she used for her haircare treatment are readily available in most people’s kitchens.
Justine Marjan (@justinemarjan) boasts over 136,000 followers on TikTok, where she gives a glimpse into her LA-based career.
The hair expert had long, glossy black locks as she revealed a DIY mask that she swears by for her tresses.
“One of my favorite natural treatments for hair uses rice,” she said holding up a bag full of the grain.
“I am just going to add a half cup of rice to a bowl with two to three cups of water.
“Let it sit overnight and then strain out the rice.
“Transfer the liquid to a bottle like this,” she said showing an applicator bottle.
“Or a spray bottle or you can just put it in a cup if you don’t have either of these options.”
Justine recommended applying rice water directly to the scalp after shampooing and letting it sit for 20 minutes before rinsing and using conditioner.
She revealed that the treatment only needs to be done once a week to be effective.
“Rice is full of so many vitamins and nutrients,” she said.
“It’s amazing for hair growth, preventing hair loss, and it increases the strength and elasticity of your hair.
“It prevents breakage and split ends.”
“Rapunzel is shaking,” she added.
Over 13,000 people liked the video and hundreds took to the comment section eager to try the hack for themselves.
“OMG, I’ve been meaning to try this!!!” one person wrote.
“Awesome!! Is it just white rice?” another asked. “Yes!” Justine replied.
The use of rice water to stimulate hair growth and avoid graying has proven popular in many regions of Asia.
Advocates say it helps to detangle the hair, improve smoothness, increase shine, and make hair stronger.
Rice water is thought to contain vitamins and minerals such as amino acids, B vitamins, Vitamin E, and antioxidants.
However, an article published by MedicalNewsToday suggests that most scientific evidence about the treatment is inconclusive.
More research is needed to support anecdotal evidence about the benefits of rice water for hair.
