Celebrity beauty tips and tricks are many. From expensive face lifts at the best plastic surgeons in the world to simple home remedies. Whatever color of hair she might be sporting these days, Kim’s hair is shinier and fuller than ever. She recently shared her secret to her visibly thicker hair and on hers sister Kourtney’s online magazine Poosh: rice water!
Rice is actually often found in skincare products such as toners, cleansers and peelings, especially in Japan and Korea. Applied to skin rice helps to even out skin tones and give a healthy glow. Applied to hair it gives a thickening result, as it builds a starch layer around the hair which adds to volume. Rice also contains Folic acid, Niacin, Vitamin B3 that prevents dullness and adds shine.
