CurlyChic Rice Water Remedy Strengthening Conditioner - Strengthens & Grows for Curly, Wavy & Coily Hair - 356ml/12.04 oz
Fermented rice water has been a hair ritual for a very long time, and the reason it survived is that it is genuinely protein-rich: amino acids, B vitamins, vitamin E and antioxidants, in a form the hair can take up.
CurlyChic has built a rinse-out conditioner around it. The claim to pay attention to is strength. Protein makes the strand more resistant to snapping, so more of the hair you already have stays attached, which is what people usually mean when they say their hair will not get past a certain length.
Because it is a protein conditioner, do not use it at every single wash. Alternate it with a purely moisturising conditioner or the hair starts to feel stiff and brittle, which is the opposite of what you want. Once a week is plenty for most people.
The signs you have overdone it are easy to read. Hair that feels rough and stiff when wet, snaps rather than stretches, and refuses to hold moisture whatever you put on it has had too much protein and not enough conditioning. Drop back to a moisturising conditioner for a fortnight and it settles.
356ml, suits 2A waves through to 4C coils, and works best on hair that snaps easily rather than on hair that is simply dry.

Application tips
Shampoo first, then work this through soaking wet hair in four sections, concentrating from the mid lengths down.
Comb it through, give it three to five minutes, and rinse properly rather than leaving traces behind. If the hair feels tight coming out, follow with a moisturising mask the same day instead of waiting a week. Keep it off the scalp; there is nothing for the skin to gain.
Results
Strength is the thing on sale, and it shows up in how the hair handles. Strands stretch under a comb rather than pinging off, which keeps ends intact and stops length disappearing into the sink.
Fine curls that had gone limp pick up body and spring. Any shine is a by-product of a smoother surface, not a coating sitting on top of it.
Composition
- Fermented Rice Water
- Protein rich, so strands resist snapping and keep their spring under tension
