Can rice water be used on all hair types?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Rice water works well on straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair types. The key is to find the right frequency for your hair. Curly and coily hair may benefit from using it once a week, while straighter hair types might use it twice a week for added strength and shine.
