Strange that nobody ever talks about other cultures wearing white western clothes, for example. Or using white technology and medicine.

@khills 3 года назад

Re the ginger study, keep in mind that they used an extract from ginger, not the entire plant. This is a…western, monetize things attitude, because they’re looking for a what can be protected under laws, make money, etc. But a lot of the ingredients in traditional medicines are working synergistically with each other-curcumin, ginger root, and black piperine are a commonly used example of how researchers will take one part of a traditional medicine (in this case, curcumin) and then declare it doesn’t work. The response from traditional practitioners is “well of course, you left out…” and now, half a decade later, researchers are looking at all three combined and getting different results. So it might be that the ginger does nothing other than being a common ingredient in the area. But it also might be that the entire ginger root has a benefit that a single extract from the root does not.

@mandiwolfe6631 3 года назад

I've been using rice water on my curly hair for a couple of years now and I HIGHLY recommend at least trying it out. There are so many ways people prepare it and some can get quite elaborate. I must confess, I tried many if them too. I found what works best for me...between the minimal time and effort I have to put into the preparation and the results I get from it......I simply rinse a cup of rice in a colander over the sink and then add the rice to a bowl of water and cover. Then I let it sit for 24 hours. After that, I stir or shake to mix well and then scoop out the rice with a slotted spoon. Shampoo hair as usual and rinse out, then add rice water to hair and let sit for up to 15 minutes if possible, then rinse out and finish with usual conditioning treatment. I do this every 2 weeks and it's really done wonders!

@Meliasaurus 3 года назад

I made some and it truly took almost no time (definitely less than going to a store). I just went with the most plain recipe to try: rice & room temp water and fermented for a couple days. I filled a mason jar, covered the top with the cloth, then screwed on the outer ring. I put it through a strainer a few hours later. Then I left it on the counter with the cloth cover + ring for a few days. There are other recipes where you boil the rice but I just wanted to do a lazy one. I also funneled it into a leftover spray bottle to spritz my hair and use as a mask. I soak my hair and wear a shower cap while I do stuff around the house.

@@mandiwolfe6631 just curious if you just wash your hair like normal the rest of the week? I would like to try, and wasn’t sure how many times a week you do the treatment?

@mandiwolfe6631 3 года назад

@@Jeepgirls1978 Hi......I do the rice water treatment once every 2 weeks, personally. I find that works best for my hair. Since rice water is a protein treatment, it depends on the balance of your own hair for how often you do it. Kinda trial and error at first, to be honest. I have high porosity dry coarse curly hair that's currently waist length. I asses how my hair health is each wash day and adjust moisture/protein as needed at the time. I typically wash with shampoo just once a week. Every other week I add in the rice water step. (if I find I happen to need an extra wash day in a random week, I use a co-wash conditioner for my hair type). I hope this all makes sense! I can try to explain it better if you have questions. As I'm typing it out I'm even confusing myself, lol.

Oh I am SO excited for this mini-series! I’m not on tiktok so I haven’t seen anything about this phenomenon before watching your video. 💗 I’m excited to learn more! I did have a couple questions about usage of the final concoction: 1. How exactly do you apply it? If this were a commercial product the instructions would probably just say “apply to hair,” but I need more detail than that! 2. Would your concoction be appropriate for use once a week if that’s the only time I co-wash my hair? Or would I be better off using white rice instead of brown rice? Having hair that’s somewhat thick and somewhat curly, I find that I can typically go about a week between washes. I normally co-wash my hair with Suave Essentials coconut conditioner, but I would love to try this rice water mixture as my sole co-wash product!

It’s really interesting that these years people began to discover more and more Chinese beauty method, such as Gua sha, jade roller, rice water, fire cupping spa... and you even mentioned tea oil. Yes, in China we have tea seed oil shampoo （茶籽）and rice water shampoo in supermarket for sale.

This is the first rice water hair video that i found interesting enough to watch from beginning to end. I'm so happy you included so much information about the heritage of this idea. Absolutely amazing. FInished watching your latest video with saf and thought "hey her name is also melissa and she does a really good job with saf, i need to see more content" and i am so happy i did. Great job and keep up the good work!

I remember learning about the red Yao woman in 7th grade when I wanted to grow my hair super long and was on a deep dive in the depths of RU-vid. It’s also how I found this channel. I however did not follow the recipe in 7th grade but maybe I should have.

@lavendertwilight08 3 года назад

Kayley. I owe you an apology. I saw your video and rolled my eyes thinking what more is there to learn about rice water it's just another trend. I am so happy I clicked. You have never lead me astray and I don't know why I doubted you. Such a well done video with new information that is truly researched and unbiased. I love the introduction and respect. You are awesome. Been watching your videos since I was in middle school and now I'm 26. Happy to have you on my hair journey..❤️

Actually, damaged hair causes that "boing" in the strands and makes it stretchy which is more susceptible to snapping off or breaking

@Adinamfeldman 3 года назад

The history and cultural significance of the rice water recipe and the women’s hair was so cool to learn about!! Thank you for doing that research Kayley and sharing that information with us that we likely would have missed 💜💜

Great job Kaley on the researching the origins of the rice water hair tradition and the RedYao women. I really appreciated this video and the fantastic job you did of demonstration curiosity and respect for their cultural traditions and you did a great job talking about it too. This was so much more than I expected (I've never been on your channel before) I just wanted to tell you I was impressed, super impressed. So impressed that I came here to make a comment about how as an anthropologist and archeologist (and I find I'm not the only one), just how impressed and appreciative I am by your level of dedication to researching and sharing the origins, history, and cultural practice behind what is currently a tiktok/youtube beauty trend. And, I wanted to commend you not only on a job well done but also aa well developed understanding and awareness of the importance behind cultural practices and the respect they are due. Bravo lady.

I use Rice Water 1c of rice with 1c of water, let it soak 24 hr. Drain the rice and pour water over my hair & leave my hair soaked with water on hair 1hr(1 time every 2wks) all summer and it did help my hair grow.

@southtexan1761 2 года назад

I use the Red Yao Women's recipe on my hair everyday. It is the best I've ever used hands down. I worked in the Oilfield for years and this gets the oil based particulate gunk out of my hair. Leaves it feeling soft.

@leopardqueen86 3 года назад

I love how excited you are about this! I'm also excited to see how you make this and to see the results. I would love to try this myself to help reduce the amount of hair loss and to make my hair healthier. I found this to be so interesting!

@JJ-dj6qw 3 года назад

Since Covid came, I have seen too many news and comments attacking my country, China, even some racist remarks. But when I saw this video, I cried, because Kayley showed a real China, without prejudice, no discrimination, and no rude language. I haven’t seen such a fair and beautiful thing for too long. Thank you Kayley for Sharing our traditional hair caring treatment. Hope everyone will get beautiful hair asap.

@aqualilac48 3 года назад

I would love to see an "ultimate haircare" video or series, with all the best ingredients for different hair goals, as proven by actual research. The scientific stuff is so amazing, and learning from about different cultures and methods is so interesting. Also would love to know the best cheap but effective ways of doing something good for my hair cause I like experimenting with hairstyles, but I don't have a wealth of products or any hot tools, just some hair bands and pins. So a nice starter guide to having great hair, without needing to spend a crazy amounts of time and money on it, would also be brilliant. (Stuff like what is worth buying or not really needed, what items are usually best to spend money on and what's fine just to get the cheap option, and tips and tricks along the way cause they're always helpful)

Your enthusiasm is infectious and I enjoyed watching you. Thank you for making this video. I’ve lost SOOO much hair in the last few months that I don’t even want to go into public places.

@sarahburgon3052 3 года назад

THIS IS AMAZING!! I loved everything about this video! It’s so interesting!! I would love a three part serious, the science behind it, making/using it, and maybe a month to 3 month long testing period with results!! Love your channel!!

@doctorstheory 2 года назад

Keeping science aside for a while. Traditionally, as rice eaters, our grandparents used rice water as a shampoo/conditioner. They had very good hair. Recipe is like this - collect water used for washing rice( before cooking) in a pot , leave it for few days, put herbs/ citrus leaves and boil it for a while Cool it down Strained And put it on the dry hair Leave it for a while and Wash it off completely Result- well conditioned , aromatic, shinny hair. Did it once twice a week. Younger generations have almost completely left this tradition and adopted modern shampoo. But I am using this for a while. This is really working.

I have naturally curly hair, so I’ve known about the rice water trick for a while. But damn this video really helped me up my game! Thank you SO MUCH 🙏🏻 v impressed with the amount of useful info you gave.

@TheGabygael 3 года назад

Thank you for addressing the cultural appropriation point, I've not seen it mentioned in other videos and i feel like it's something we need to remind ourselves every once in a while : those recipes are a huge part of the cultural background and (from what i've seen) one of the biggest part of their cultural identity. I don't know if using it as westerners would harm the community but there's something about it that feels really disconnected a bit like if you took one of my family recipe and put soy sauce and germinated seeds all over it, it might work, it might taste great but it would feel... Off

@brendank3578 Год назад

You're overthinking it . Do you eat food from other cultures ? Pizza ? Thai ? Do you worry about that too ? Or do you just enjoy the food and forget the woke nonsense ?

@toomanymarys7355 Год назад

Get a grip. You have heard about it because the Yao brilliantly market their traditions. It's a fun day trip to visit the village with the performances, though.

@RaSheedapower 3 года назад

I really loved your review of rice water. It is so detailed and informative. I did a little research and use rice water and ive noticed a crap ton of hair growth and its gotten thicker. I really appreciate this review/detailed study because Ive learned so much about the Yao women's culture I dont want to be a culture vulture. You really did your homework! you can tell you are very compassionate about hair. THANK YOU!

I'm not that brave😯 However, I did ask my aunt to help me bleach my hair during quarantine to give myself some babylights.....and she didn't catch the "baby" part and thought we were doing full highlights. I ended up with highlights so chunky that they rivaled the ones I had in my wedding photos. Which would be great....except I was married in 2005😖

I read from some Chinese sources that they put the rice water beside the stove to allow fermentation. After ‘washing’ with the fermented rice water, they allow their hair to air dry, then wash with water.

@Poeticdyme 3 года назад

Loved the historical background and really really appreciated the scientific deep dive backing this up. I have used it on my hair before and it does leave your hair looking great. It's been about a year though, I think it's time to bring it back cuz I have been struggling with also, really appreciated the explanation about how exactly UV damages your hair. Thank you thank you thank you!
