During the pandemic, I was losing lots of hair. The causes might be my digestion issues and sleeping problems. I came across fermented rice water and found out many claim it has the magic power for healthy hair so I came up with an idea and used it to make shampoo with Dr Bronner’s Soap. The result is great. Since I started to use it, my hair stopped losing like I am getting bold. I also add some essential oils so the shampoo could smell better and has more benefits. I used the Asian white rice which is round and sticky for my recipe. My recipe is below and hope it will help anyone who needs it!
疫情期間，我掉了很多頭髮。這可能是因為我當時有腸胃問題加上睡眠失調。在尋求方法時，看到發酵洗米水的效用。很多人都說它可以幫助頭髮更健康，所以我就用平常喜愛的Dr. Bronzer肥皂來做洗髮精。效果我很滿意。自從使用自己做的洗髮精頭髮比較開心，少掉了很多。我還加了十一種有助頭髮的精油，讓它散發自然的香味。我就是使用平常的亞洲圓圓黏黏的白米，我的做法在下面喔。
I kept the rice rinsing water (the second round, not first round) and placed the water in a jar. I let it ferment for two days in the room temperature. I wouldn’t let it ferment for too long or it would start to smell. 
The materials I need for my shampoo – 1. A great foam pump bottle 2. Fermented rice water 3. Dr Bronner’s soap 4. 11 Essential oils 
100 ml Dr Bronner’s Soap 
Fermented Rice water is cloudy and white 
Foam pump makes nice foam and it makes the shampoo easily to apply on the hair. 
400 ml Fermented Rice water 
I prefer to leave the precipitate at the bottom so it doesn’t damage the foam pump.
