With winter already here, hair fall has started increasing. To overcome this problem, people mostly try home remedies instead of using expensive branded products. Many people wash their hair with rice water, one of the prevalent remedies, while some prefer fenugreek (methi) soaked water. Both, in their own way, are considered to be good for hair. But the question is, which is more effective for stopping hair fall? According to hair care experts, the answer lies in how each works.
What's in Rice Water?
Although this remedy did not originate in our country, rice water and rice water-based products are widely used in the Korean beauty industry. Rice water is full of amino acids, zinc, magnesium, vitamins B and C, and antioxidants. It maintains hair elasticity, makes hair silky, and supports scalp pH balance.

How does Fenugreek-soaked water benefit hair?
Fenugreek has long been used to prevent hair fall. People either boil fenugreek seeds in oil or soak them in water and grind them in a mixer to apply to the scalp. Many also use fenugreek-soaked water as a natural conditioner while washing hair. Fenugreek contains protein, vitamins A, K, and C, potassium, calcium, and folic acid-all of which are effective in reducing hair fall.
