15. Rice Water Rinse

Don't throw away the water you used to presoak your rice— it can be used to help hydrate and strengthen damaged hair. Rice water is rich in antioxidants and squalene, a saturated oil in many beauty products that promotes hydration in both hair and skin.

A staple of Asian beauty practices for generations, rice water rinses are reported to reduce frizz, fortify hair strands, and increase shine. While few studies have tested these claims, early research suggests rice bran minerals do aid in hair growth and durability.
