Here Are What You Need For Rice Water

■ WATER
Water helps in hair growth. The most important thing for our hair and body is to drink enough water. Staying hydrated is very important. Your skin, scalp, and body will function properly by drinking water regularly.

When you are dehydrated, your hair growth becomes stunted. You can also use a spraying bottle fill it with water, and spray your natural hair at least twice a week.

■ RICE WATER
What is Rice Water? Rice water is the starchy liquid that remains after the rice is cooked or left to soak. Rice water contains many vitamins and minerals in the rice itself. They include amino acids, Vitamin B, Vitamin E, and antioxidants.
