Product Spotlight: Rice Water Ritual

Don't know where to start with your INALA journey? Why not start with our best-selling 3-step system, the Rice Water Ritual! This system was designed for all hair types and textures and is the most complete way to address healthy, strong, and resilient hair. Read on to learn about the benefits of using the products as a system, who it works best for, and how it works!

What is it?

The Rice Water Ritual - which contains Power Potion, Reset Rinse, and Triple Threat Tonic - is a 3-step system that provides a complete scalp-to-strand regimen for healthy hair, all powered by rice water. The system has two daily leave-in treatments, one for the scalp and one for strands, and a once-a-week pre-shampoo treatment for the scalp and strands. It’s basically a one-stop shop for all of your healthy hair needs!

How does it work?

Using any one of the products in the ritual on their own will give you targeted results depending on what you use. Power Potion is specifically for your scalp, which makes it great for stimulating growth, providing hydration, and overall scalp health. Triple Threat Tonic is specifically for your strands and works overtime as a styling aid, making it perfect for adding shine and hydration as well as reducing breakage and shedding. Reset Rinse is the hybrid of the system and is designed for the scalp and strands in a rinse-out format. They all address the health of your hair individually, by targeting different areas of concern.

Using the system together, however, will provide the fastest and best results because it is able to treat the scalp and strands at the same time, thus reducing breakage and thinning while stimulating healthy hair growth. This is particularly helpful if you are noticing that your hair is thinning but you’re not really sure why - this system takes the guesswork out of the equation and treats the issue at the source, regardless of the reason. 

Below is a graphic that shows the differences and similarities of the products in the Ritual:

Who is it for?

The Rice Water Ritual was designed to be THE healthy hair system for all hair types and textures, including protective styles. If you’re skeptical of this claim, we get it. There are a lot of hair products that make this claim and just don’t live up to the hype. Here are just a few reasons why the system works for all hair types:

• The leave-in products can be used on wet or dry hair. Do you wash your hair every day? You can use the system. Do you have a protective style in your hair and wash your hair very infrequently? You can also use the system! Having our daily leave-in products for scalp and strands be versatile with their applications lends itself to fit into your existing hair routine without needing to change it or alter it. Simply add the products in when and how it works best for you!
• Reset Rinse works with your wash schedule. It doesn’t matter how often you wash your hair for this product to work. The only thing that matters is that you don’t use it more than once a week. This is because as a general rule, your scalp just doesn’t need it more often than that and we want you to get the best results out of the product!
• It’s suitable even for sensitive skin. Both of our products that are designed for use on the scalp, Power Potion and Reset Rinse, are fragrance-free. The only product that has fragrance at this time is the Triple Threat Tonic, which is because it is for the strands specifically and helps refresh hair, even after working out or cooking. A little subtle fragrance on the strands can make a big difference in these cases. Hey, IYKYK.
• It works for all hair porosity types. Whether you have high, medium, or low porosity, using the Rice Water Ritual in your routine won’t over-protein your hair (if used as directed). This is because the levels of rice water have been formulated to be tolerated by all hair types on a daily basis. (PS - This is also one of the many reasons why our products are better than a DIY rice water treatment!)

How to use it:

As mentioned earlier, the Ritual was designed to be versatile enough to add to any existing hair routine, so there’s no “right” or "wrong" way to fit it into your schedule. However, below is the basic information to get you started:

Daily: Use Power Potion directly on your scalp, either focusing on targeted areas or all over. Can be used when the hair is wet or dry either morning or night. The oil-free, non-greasy, and lightweight formula will not weigh strands down. Use Triple Threat Tonic on strands daily to help prime, style, or refresh your hair while strengthening it.

Weekly: Use Reset Rinse as a pre-shampoo treatment on your scalp and strands for eliminating scalp buildup, hydrating the scalp and strands, and strengthening hair to reduce breakage and shedding.
