The secret of her hair is that fresh river water and pollution free environment

Aside from learning about the use or rice water for the hair, this video is highly informative and educational. I love how colorful the people are, how gentle and revered as women. I have so much admiration for their tradition being passed down for generations, and still being much respected and loved. The communal, helping one another nature of the wash day is what we used to do until we became modern. Even though they are wearing the same clothes, each woman is unique in her body shape and look. This is really wonderful to see.

I thought the lady had a head SCARF wrapped around her head BUT it's her HAIR.

They’re basically using rice water and doing protective styles. Makes sense.

I am so emotional seeing all these women follow a tradition from years ago not only for beauty but for the respect of their culture!!! So beautiful and the hair styles are nice. Love this!!!

What's beautiful to me is that the ladies do each other's hair...that's caring. Also, the 3 different wraps were very interesting.

We live in America where we color, flat iron, perm, and add extensions. These women embrace their natural hair! Beautiful

Their genes are incredible, not just the hair but their skin as well. They all looks very young for their ages

12:04 RECIPE: "The water after washing the rice we are putting in a big barrel and boil them together with some oranges skins and, you know, keep them in a big barrel for half a month or a month, then after that we will use that to wash our hair."

There is less stress in these villages and they gently take care of their hair. This is probably why it is so beautiful. ...Family and Togetherness is important. They take care of each other.

I am also going to wash my hair with rice water .Is anybody there who is thinking like me 😊

So who else out there is thinking on doing the rice water challenge,the yao women's way?

They all look like Chinese Repunzel, if I had seen them as a child I would have fainted from excitement

The water plays a huge part in hair health. When i temporarily lived in a farm, we had water pumped from a spring for our cooking, cleaning and bathing. My skin was so clear (even though i had no clenser), my hair was super shiny and my nails grew fast. When i came back to the city all that changed. The minerals in spring water / river water are rich and pure. The fermented rice has amazing aminos and benefits.

Wow this is like world Guinness record holders for the most women with the longest hair in one village 😍 beautiful

Everyone is talking about the hair but their skin is also very glowing and beautiful. Even the women in their 50's 60's look so young. They are really beautiful inside out.

the thing is: they take care of theirselves without expensive products or expensive hair products! I just started with using rice water and I’m excited to see the results.🥰

What a beautiful ceremony and set of traditions. How their hair is so sacred to them... so wonderful... we come from such different worlds but this makes me emotional and gives me amazing insight of this village and it’s culture...
