Rice water has become a popular DIY hair treatment due to its potential benefits for hair growth, conditioning, and shine. However, using rice water on your hair may also have some side effects that you should be aware of.

Some common side effects of rice water on hair include dryness, brittleness, and breakage, especially if you use it too frequently or leave it on for too long. Rice water may also cause scalp irritation, dandruff, or buildup, especially if it is not properly strained or diluted.
