After.
Did you use it without, prior to, or after deep conditioning?

@Jade FeriaExcept for that smell. Last time I used it, it was fermenting for about 5 days. Laawwwwd that smell! I put in some tea tree oil, rosemary, and peppermint, which helped with the stench, and had my scalp tingling!
what do some of you do about the smell? I've tried essential oils but it doesn't work the smell still linger in my hair after I rinse it out.
no I haven't. I read somewhere that it wasn't beneficial to boil the rice.Have you tried boiling it instead of fermenting it?
I've done that before, the smell still lingers .@Summerof93
I use a R/O Conditioner after I rinse the RW out. Most of the time I use it right before my Final R/O.
This past Wash Day I used it towards the beginning of my Wash Day, and put my DC'er on top of my RW Rinse.
no I haven't. I read somewhere that it wasn't beneficial to boil the rice.
That's interesting because I saw a yt video that did it both ways and reaped the same benefits. If the smell is that bothersome, you may have to forgo it altogether.
I feel like I saw a video where they also boiled it to stop the fermentation process after? I don't think boiling it prior to fermenting would do anything, though...
Anyone make their own beer or wine?

How did it end up in this thread?I'm retired and they don't charge me anything for membership. I just show my retiree Id when it's time to renew. Is this a new change of policy?
@kxlot79May I ask how long you rinse with plain water afterwards? You have to rinse very thoroughly. I think it’s like ACV where you can only smell the RW if there’s residue remaining.
Yes I used a scented rinse out.@Summerof93
Today, I used it under my DC'er and got under my Steamer. And I also used a R/O after rinsing out my DC'er.
ETA: After I apply my final R/O, I can no longer smell the fermented RW. Are you using a scented conditioner for a R/O?
I am currently using HV's MoistPRO as a final R/O which is very pleasantly scented and completely eliminates the scent of the fermented R/W.
However, I have used other scented R/O's and have never still smelled the scent of fermented R/W in my Hair.
Hmm maybe I'm not rinsing long enough. I'm thinking that maybe the culprit. Now when I was rinsing my hair I let the water run through my hair until I could no longer smell it. When I would sweat I would the smell would emerge. It's been almost a week and now the smell isn't as noticeable.I don’t boil mine as I’m convinced that some of the benefits get reduced with cooking. But I can honestly say directly after defrosting, the smell is reduced tremendously. Idk how/whether freezing affects the benefits though.
I don’t attempt to cover the smell with anything though.

I follow my RW rinse with nice smelling stylers and LIs. That does the trick for me.
