How to Make Rice Oil for Hair Growth

Instructions
1. Fill a glass jar with uncooked rice, pressing down firmly.
2. Heat carrier oil slightly until warm, not hot.
3. Pour warmed oil over rice to cover completely.
4. Seal jar, store in cool dark place, shake gently daily.
5. After 4-6 weeks, strain oil through cheesecloth into a bottle.
Usage
Massage rice oil into scalp and hair, leave on 30-60 minutes before shampooing out.
