What is rice water and what are its effects?

Rice water is a liquid that is produced after soaking or cooking rice—or after fermenting it. It contains a number of nutrients such as B vitamins, minerals, and substances such as inositol, which can have a positive effect on hair.

The advantage is that it is a very accessible and inexpensive natural remedy that you can prepare at home.

Starch and certain active ingredients in rice water can “coat” the hair, giving it strength and reducing breakage.

Used as a natural conditioner — makes hair smooth and can improve hair texture.

How to prepare rice water

Below are two common methods of preparation: the basic and fermented versions.

How to use rice water rinse

Here is an example of a ritual for incorporating rice water rinsing into your hair care routine:

Wash your hair as usual (shampoo/conditioner).

After rinsing, apply rice water (either with a spray bottle or by hand, strand by strand).

Leave it on for 10 to 20 minutes (some sources recommend up to 30 minutes).

Then rinse well with clean water.

Frequency: for example, once or twice a week.

Conclusion

Rinsing your hair with rice water can be an interesting and natural addition to your hair care routine. It’s not a miracle cure for everyone, nor should you expect immediate results — but if you’re looking for something simple, natural, and affordable, it might be worth a try. I recommend monitoring the reaction of your hair and scalp, experimenting with frequency, preparation method (classic vs. fermented version), and possibly combining it with other natural care products.

What are the main active ingredients in the serum?
Colorwin Hair Elixir Serum contains a combination of eight effective ingredients, among which Baicapil stands out – a patented active mixture of natural ingredients that is particularly effective against hair loss. Baicapil combines extracts of Baikal coneflower root, soy and wheat germ, which together revitalize hair follicles, promote new hair growth and visibly increase hair density. This mixture also helps improve hair vitality, which is key to reducing hair breakage and promoting strength. In addition to Baicapil, the serum also contains vitamin F, panthenol, caffeine and nettle and burdock extract – substances that promote blood circulation in the scalp, thereby ensuring a better supply of nutrients to the hair roots. Thanks to this combination, the serum is an effective solution for healthier and stronger hair.

How is Colorwin Hair Elixir Serum used?
The serum is applied directly to dry or slightly damp scalp. A small amount is enough and massaged into the hair roots with your fingertips. It is recommended to use the serum every day to achieve maximum results. The practical dropper makes application quick and precise.

What makes Colorwin Hair Elixir Serum different from other serums on the market?
Our serum is distinguished by its unique formula, which contains natural and high-quality ingredients. We managed to combine traditional herbal hair-strengthening substances such as nettle, burdock, vitamin F and panthenol with modern substances such as caffeine and Baicapil. The selection of active ingredients was supported by clinical studies. The serum does not contain parabens, sulfates or silicones, which means that it is gentle not only on the hair, but also on the environment.

What results can users expect and in how long?
With regular use of Colorwin Hair Elixir Serum, you can expect to see an improvement in the overall quality of your hair after just one month. Users often notice that their hair is less brittle, stronger and full of shine. After two to three months, results are seen in the form of new hair that is thicker and healthier.

Can the serum cause adverse reactions?
Colorwin Hair Elixir Serum is made with sensitive scalps in mind. It contains only natural ingredients and is dermatologically tested, which minimizes the risk of adverse reactions.

What are customers’ experiences with Colorwin Hair Elixir Serum?
“After a few weeks of use, I noticed that my hair fell out less and was much stronger to the touch. The serum is very easy to apply and absorbs well without leaving my hair greasy. Thank you for a great product!” — M. R., Brno
“I had very fine hair that broke easily. Colorwin Hair Elixir Serum literally saved my hair. After two months of use, I noticed that my hair was growing back and it looked healthier overall.” — L. P., Prague

Where can I buy Colorwin Hair Elixir Serum and how much does it cost?
You can purchase Colorwin Hair Elixir Serum online at colorwin.cz or Notino.cz and in selected pharmacies and the Dr.Max e-shop. The 100 ml package is available for 199 CZK.

A strong infusion of the leaves can also be used as a topping to enhance the color of brown hair. In addition, it heals, cleanses, and soothes the scalp, but also strengthens hair roots and promotes hair growth.

Since it is a natural and not a chemical substance, we will not achieve complete hair coloring, especially gray hair. The hair shade will only be highlighted.

The powerful extract of the royal walnut is also in the Colorwin men shampoo to suppress gray hair. Men who use the shampoo praise the more pronounced hair color and at the same time appreciate that their hair is stronger and of better quality. They also noticed that their dandruff disappeared. So there was a connection of multiple effects.

Walnuts also contain many valuable substances, especially iron, phosphorus, potassium, vitamins A, C and B, alpha-linolenic and omega-3 fatty acids. They are a great source of minerals and good fats that improve the condition of our heart, blood vessels, muscles, hair, skin and complexion.

Shells can also be used in a meaningful way. The dark brown decoction is an excellent remedy for both dry and wet coughs and helps to clear mucus. It also contains a lot of iodine, so people suffering from iodine deficiency can drink the decoction for a longer period of time. Shells can also be used to create a romantic atmosphere by making small glowing boats out of them in a bowl of water.

And finally, we add a simple recipe for walnut wine suitable for anemia:

• 2 tablespoons chopped walnut leaves
• 1 tablespoon nettle tips
• 1 liter of quality red wine
• Let it steep in a warm place for two weeks, shaking it every day.
• then strain, pour into a glass bottle and store in a dark place

In the evening, we can have 0.5 dcl for health and a good mood.

Dark brown/black worked well for us in the editorial office and I tried applying it to Klář and Míš’s hair extensions. Both have more or less black dyed hair and the extensions are gray. The spray worked great and quickly. Just comb your hair into a parting that you wear yourself, then shake the spray and spray from a distance of 15 cm. At the same time, it is good to darken the parts that show through around your face. Be careful not only around the contour of your face and work with a napkin so that you don’t get color everywhere. Experience has taught us a lesson.

Colorwin spray is available in the following shades:

• light brown – the color is copper, chestnut to red (ala Julia Roberts)
• blonde – more or less a yellow shade with subtle shimmer
• dark brown/black – it is a really dark shade that blends beautifully with black hair
  

The brand is now preparing a black and blue-brown spray.

You can wash off the sprayed Colorwin color the first time you wash your hair. One package will last you for several applications if you only use it in the parting and contour around the face. Of course, you will use up the tube quickly if you want to color all the hair growth, but this product should be more of a quick solution for you in the last week before a visit to the hairdresser and only for the parting and contour of the face. With such an application, the spray will last at least 50 uses.

The most common application errors to avoid

• Spray the spray from a distance of 15 cm and in small doses. If you overdo it with the amount, you need to comb the hair with a brush after about 10 seconds after drying, or remove it with a tissue so that you don’t have dirty hands afterwards.
• When spraying, use a tissue to cover the parting, always on each side, to prevent significant skin discoloration.
• If you follow a gentle spray pattern, the package will last you at least 50 applications.

Klára Křížová’s experience

I go to the hairdresser once every 6 weeks, I have quite dark hair and I have had to dye it since I was 30 because of the gray hair. I am now 50, so dyeing my hair has become a necessity. I don’t like the two weeks before dyeing, when my gray hair shows through, especially on my forehead and in the parting, it is quite visible. I have tried other coloring sprays, but I was not satisfied with the result, they did not match the color, did not last, and stained my hands when I combed my hair. But I think it is a great invention – having a spray on hand that can cover up imperfections in a few minutes of work, and during important meetings at work I do not have to think about the cracks in my appearance in the form of gray hair that shows through. Whether you like it or not, they attract attention. My colleagues and I had the opportunity to try Colorwin, another of the gray hair sprays that appeared on the market as a novelty. I entrusted my colleague Kristína, who is our editorial expert on beauty, to apply the spray to my hair, to the places where the gray hair is most visible. I asked her to take a picture of me doing it so that you could see the result of my testing. When the other colleagues saw how the Colorwin spray worked, they were enthusiastic. My hair looked great after the application. The gray hair was beautifully covered, the color looks natural, and I am thrilled with the result. Easy application, beautiful result.

Has it ever happened to you that your hairdresser didn’t have time or unexpectedly fell ill on the very day you needed her the most, so you couldn’t shine at some special event? Well, you definitely don’t have to worry about that anymore, the Colorwin hair product has been launched on the market. This spray will solve your problem with gray hair or hair regrowth in a few seconds. Behind the Colorwin spray is PharmDr. Jolanta Kantor, who couldn’t find such a product on the Czech market and so decided to develop and produce it herself.

Briefly introduce your company to the readers.

The company was founded in 2015. We discovered a niche in hair cosmetics that had not received much attention, namely the coverage of gray hair and regrowth. Most companies produced hair dyes, but nothing else. We thought that people with gray hair would welcome more products and ways to cover gray hair that was unacceptable to them. We really liked the idea of ​​launching a new brand and enriching this segment with new ideas and new products.

How did the idea to produce Colorwin sprays come about?

There is a saying that nothing strengthens you like your own handicap. Since I myself had gray hair and tried to mask it in any way. I was looking for a quick and easy solution. And then I found it, but already as a ready-made product on the shelf in a store in the USA. We wanted to import it to Europe at first, but in the end we decided to develop and produce our own spray. However, the road was more winding than we could have imagined.

How were the beginnings of your business?

I graduated from the Faculty of Pharmacy. I worked in a pharmacy and eventually became a co-owner of five pharmacies. My husband worked in business for 25 years in a large Czech company. I always dreamed of having my own brand. We had enough experience, courage and desire to take on a new challenge, we registered the Colorwin brand and it all began.

We know that you work together, which can be not only a mutual challenge, but also a great challenge. Can you share your tips on how to have a great family business and a happy marriage?

A family business has a huge advantage in that you set the rules yourself. Of course, for everything to work, there must be discipline and order here too. No one has a problem with that here. We try to do everything honestly and with love. If we don’t enjoy something, we evaluate how to do it better so that it makes us happy. Obstacles are there to be overcome. One must be open to new things, to new knowledge. Our determination and attitude are very important.

If you have a reliable partner by your side, who can rise above imperfections and likes to laugh with you, it works in marriage and in business.

How is a new cosmetic brand launched and promoted on the market that is not backed by a world-famous company?

I am an optimist and I would not have thought that it would be such a long journey, full of pitfalls and that it would take so long to do all this. The development of the spray lasted 3 years. Right at the beginning, I was very proud of myself for coming up with the name Colorwin, which could be registered as a trademark in neighboring European countries. However, it was only the first step. For me personally, the period when we worked on the unique composition of our spray, which was not supposed to weigh down the hair, was a great lesson in patience. I could not speed up some processes and waiting times and I was starting to wonder if it was worth it. The next stages were also very lengthy, when we decided to protect the composition with a utility model, when we came up with the product design, tested and certified the spray, tested different types of atomizers so that the spray would be very fine. It reminded me a lot of the fairy tale about the rooster and the hen: if you want this, you have to do that. But suddenly we were already on the road and we didn’t want to turn back and we didn’t want to give up, so we kept going step by step. A few months before the launch of our spray, a similar product from a world-famous brand came onto the market and immediately had an advertisement on TV. And my friends asked, what now? We decided to move on, because we have a high-quality spray with a completely different composition and customers will appreciate it sooner or later. We need to start investing in marketing so that people learn about the benefits of our Colorwin. Leaflets, advertising, press releases, the internet, Facebook, Instagram, printing, distribution… I’m glad I didn’t have enough fantasy and imagination at the beginning, because I probably wouldn’t have gone for it. But when we got this far, I know that everything unpleasant is forgotten and Colorwin will find satisfied customers and will sell well. We are happy for every new customer, store or hairdresser that Colorwin offers.

What would you say is the biggest benefit of your Colorwin spray?

Our goal was to develop a spray that would work quickly and easily, be completely safe and contain harmless substances. Before we managed to combine all this and launch the spray on the market, a spray from another company was already on sale. However, our spray has one big advantage. Compared to most sprays in the world, we managed to replace liquid silicone as the main carrier substance with safe methylal. With regular use, silicone gradually builds up on the hair and creates a film that cannot be washed off. Hair covered with silicone dries out, becomes brittle, breaks more, and most importantly, dyes poorly. In contrast, the methylal in Colorwin spray evaporates immediately after application and does not weigh down the hair at all. The hair is covered with a very fine layer of pigment, but it is not stuck together. The pigment is simply washed out of the hair with regular shampoo. The composition of Colorwin spray is highly appreciated by hairdressers who struggle with the consequences of using cosmetics with silicone in their daily work.

Do you use the spray yourself?

Of course, all our family and friends.

Could you tell me which women most often use your spray?

Our spray is suitable for all women who are already dealing with their first gray hair, but also for those who have significant hair regrowth. Older women regularly dye their hair, but they know the feeling when hair regrowth appears again and a visit to the hairdresser is out of sight. With our spray, they can feel groomed and younger in no time.

The sprays are made in three color shades, but not all women have just one shade of brown… can the spray adapt to different hair shades?

We initially launched three spray colors that cover a wide range of hair colors. The dark brown spray is great for brunettes and black women. The light brown spray is great for those with light brown, chestnut and copper hair. The blonde spray, which also covers dark roots, is designed for light blondes. Because the spray is applied to a narrow area, the natural color and the spray color blend perfectly.

Of course, we are working on expanding the color range of our sprays. We are currently preparing to launch a black spray.

Are you planning any other new products in the Colorwin line?

Yes, we want to gradually introduce other interesting products with the Colorwin brand for gray hair coverage. And not only for women. We want to expand the Colorwin line to include a product for men, specifically a gray hair suppression shampoo. We would also like to launch a gray hair concealer in four shades soon.

And we took advantage of this great property of bamboo shoots and added this extract to Colorwin Hair Elixir capsules. Bamboo contains much more silicon than classic horsetail or nettle. It is confirmed that bamboo shoots are the richest source of silicon ever.

Hooray, bamboo will revive our hair!
When hair lacks shine, frays and breaks, is difficult to comb or sheds excessively, it sends a signal that something is missing. Colorwin Hair Elixir with bamboo shoot extract can prevent this situation and “repair” your hair. Colorwin Hair Elixir capsules also contain other active ingredients such as amino acids, vitamins, minerals, which ensure healthy hair growth from roots to ends. Your hair will be healthy, thick and shiny again after just one month of use.

This is the first time I’ve tried a product of this type and I have to say that I was really surprised at how well it covered gray hair and hair regrowth. I have dyed hair, brown with a slight hint of rust and I was afraid of the darkest shade, so I went with light brown. I probably would have needed a slightly darker shade, but considering the color of the ends, the color ended up looking good. You just need to spray it really lightly and the spray covers it immediately. You need to be careful of the skin around it, especially on the forehead (I recommend covering it with your hand). If you follow the recommended procedure, don’t overdo it with the applied amount and remove the excess with a napkin, the spray works really well! In addition, I thought that it also gave my hair volume (something like dry shampoo).

Colorwin spray for covering gray hair and hair regrowth is one of the new trends in hair cosmetics. It covers gray hair or hair regrowth in a few seconds. It is sprayed only on the places where the hair regrowth is visible. The color shade of Colorwin perfectly matches your natural hair color on the hair regrowth. The result is immediate.

The product is safe. Contains natural mineral pigments. Does not contain peroxide, ammonia or azo dyes. It is quick-drying, sweat-resistant and very gentle on the hair.

Application:

• Shake the spray well for at least 5 seconds before use.
• Apply to dry hair.
• Spray in short bursts from a distance of approximately 15 cm until the gray hair is evenly covered.
• The product dries on the hair within a few seconds and lasts until the next shampooing.
• After application and after the spray has dried, you can lightly rub your hair with a tissue or lightly comb it with a brush. This will get rid of excess pigment that has not adhered to the hair.

It would seem that hair is an unimportant part of the body. But even these problems can significantly bother us. Especially for women and at an age when they want to be liked (this also applies to men), hair loss can be a big problem.

Hair is a tissue that, according to the laws of Chinese medicine, is mainly influenced by the kidney path, so all fears and stresses, especially long-term or sudden ones, can manifest themselves in the body as hair loss. Even in folk sayings, it is said: “his hair fell out in horror”, or “I will turn gray because of you”. And it really happens. If you know that your hair problems date back to some great stress, it is advisable to visit a homeopathic doctor who is able to choose a remedy exactly according to the information – the factor that caused the hair loss.

The following homeopathic medicines can help you with acute problems:

Very often, the medicine Aconitum napellus 30 C will help – a medicine for shock or some kind of experienced horror (e.g. a traffic accident, an attack, a threat to life). In this situation, we administer 5 granules of the medicine 3-4 times in a row within 15 minutes until the condition improves.

Another remedy is Staphysagria 30 C – a remedy for humiliation, severe insults, dishonor. This situation can also lead to hair loss, but also eyebrows and eyelashes, sometimes even complete hair loss. The patient is very sensitive, usually his scars heal poorly. The dosage is the same as for Aconitum.

If someone is losing a lot of hair (this does not apply to male alopecia, which is associated with hormonal imbalance), then they have depleted energy in the kidney pathway. Hair loss, if the skin is painful with tingling, requires the drug Ferrum metallicum 9 C, 5 granules 3 times a day.

If your hair is falling out due to a long-term illness, distress (e.g. divorce, death in the family, hair loss after childbirth, etc.) or work overload, try the medicine Phosphoricum acidum 9 C 5 granules 2 times a day for a long time (at least 2-3 months).

Hair that falls out prematurely appears in small patches or even all over the area, focal administration of the drug Lycopodium 15 C. The patient forgets them, does not trust himself, does not tolerate resistance. We administer 5 granules once a day for at least 2 months.

If the scalp itches, burns, is scaly, peels and plaques form, try the remedy Arsenicum album 15 C 2x daily 5 granules. The patient is very worried about his health, is restless, chilly, improves with warmth; hair problems are usually the result of illness and exhaustion of the organism.

If your hair is falling out and round patches of hairless hair are forming on various parts of your head, try the medicine Hepar sulfur 15 C, 5 granules twice a day.

The drug Borax 15 C is characterized by the fact that the hair is coarse, difficult to comb (combing is very painful), and the eyelashes are glued together and turned inward, which irritates the eye (especially the outer corner of the eye, where the edges of the eyelids are very painful). We give 5 granules twice a day.

If you have a high forehead, you have wrinkles and pubic hair is falling out, administer the medicine Natrum muriaticum 15 C 2x daily 5 granules. A patient of this type is usually thin, has difficulty gaining weight. He likes to be alone and hates being comforted, and often suffers from acne.
