SAY WHAT?! Rain water? Are you kidding me? who has time to catch rain water to wash their hair? Who says you will even have enough to really get your hair to the point of ‘fully washed’?
With everything, there are always doubts and side eyes, but if something is good for you it’s just good for you, despite the drama it takes to utilize it. Now that we have gotten that out of the way, it has definitely been said that rain water has many benefits for the hair and skin. The trend is slowly but surely making its way across the internet, and we thought it would be fun to at least explore even though it is a bit surprising that people actually use it.
Rain water perfects the hair the more you use it, making your hair soft, shiny, and defines your curls. Rain water is considered to be soft water, which when compared to tap and other chemically infested water, rain is most definitely all natural, not to mention, FREE!
It does not cost you a dime to simply collect rain water on those rainy days. Now, if it rarely rains in your area, this could be challenging. You’ll be happy to see rain whenever it does, though.
So, here in this video, the benefits of rain water is discussed. She even gives you a bit of a tutorial on how she washes and conditions her hair with rain water. She claims that this has been one of the best discoveries for her and her hair. Check out this video:
Here is another video demonstrating a more long, drawn out process of using rain water. She goes as far as showing you how to collect the rain water and removing the particles and debris from the water.
Plants arent the only thing lovin’ rain water! Think of your scalp as the soil of a plant, and your hair the stems and leaves. Mind-blowing. The next time it rains, if you’re feeling adventurous and spontaneous, take your shampoo and conditioner outside and do your wash with nature.
HAPPY GROWING!
My grandmother did it….and it was soooo refreshing and relaxing…put us to sleep
Feel stupid asking this, but… negative effects from acid rain? Or the chemicals rain water picks up from the atmosphere (pollution). Obviously tap water will also have its cons, but some research into the pros and cons of each (chemical-wise not effort-wise lol) might be interesting
Kimberly’s hair turned green when she used rain water.
I thought collecting rain water was illegal
It would be nice if we werent in a drought and haven’t seen no rain in almost 2yrs…
I’m at a loss as to why this is surprising……it’s simply rain water. Thousand of people in the Caribbean islands have been doing this for CENTURIES because they mainly have no other source of water. I grew up using rain water to wash, cook, bathe, wash hair, clean and everything else you can do with water……. :/
I used to do this about 2 years ago and suddenly I stopped but now I’ll start again. Thanx.
