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!

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)

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

I did not like this video. I freaking loved it! I really like you nerding out, Kayley. I was not expecting this to get such a positive review. I thought you'd say it's a great culture, but the hair benefits are more in their genes. I'm so happy you proved that assumption wrong so extensively. VERY EXCITED FOR PART 2
Keep it up, girl! You're great

as a biologist by education, I love your way of delivering the science. You scored it as usual Kayley!
+ on the pronunciation of 'he shou wu':
'he' - dunno how to describe the voice but it's similar to saying the classifier 'a' while exhaling
'shou' pronounced like 'show'
'wu' pronounced as 'ooh'

I just found out that pantene is actually the commercial version of rice water, their entire gimmick as well as their composition are all based on the yao recipe and their main active ingredients (which i believe they patented) are supposed to be the same active ingredients as rice water

I LOVED this video! Rice water rinses have been mentioned a lot in the curly community too but I love how you shared the cultural background that I was not aware of. And my inner science nerd loved the evidence you presented. I am anxiously awaiting part 2!

I think this is your best video EVER. The science-backed research and the cultural context were so refreshing in a world where people don t acknowledge where they ve gotten their ideas or notions from, so thank you for taking the time to do this right!
