The benefits of the rice cream hair mask

We already knew that rice water is good for the hair because it is rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and starch, which allows it to strengthen the hair while polishing it to make it shinier. But cooked rice can also be mixed in to give us a pre-shampoo mask that “moisturizes and makes hair shiny” as Iris Mittenaere points out. Adapted to all hair typesthis rice cream mask tends to relax the curls of curly hair a little.
