The hair expert sported long, shiny black locks as she revealed a DIY mask she swears by for her locks.
“One of my favorite natural hair treatments uses rice,” she said, holding up a bag full of grain.
“I'm just going to add half a cup of rice to a bowl with two to three cups of water.
“Leave it overnight and then strain the rice.
“Put the liquid in one of those bottles,” she said, showing an applicator bottle.
“Or a spray bottle, or you can just put it in a cup if you don't have either of those options.”
Justine recommended applying rice water directly to the scalp after shampooing and leaving it on for 20 minutes before rinsing and using conditioner.

She revealed that the treatment only needs to be done once a week to be effective.
“Rice is packed with so many vitamins and nutrients,” she said.
“It's great for hair growth, it prevents hair loss and it increases the strength and elasticity of your hair.
“It prevents breakage and split ends.”
“Rapunzel is shaking,” she added.
More than 13,000 people liked the video and hundreds took to the comments section to try out the hack for themselves.

Using rice water to stimulate hair growth and prevent graying has proven popular in many regions of Asia.
Proponents say it helps detangle hair, improve smoothness, increase shine and make hair stronger.
Rice water is believed to contain vitamins and minerals such as amino acids, B vitamins, vitamin E and antioxidants.
However, an article published by MedicalNewsToday suggests that most scientific evidence about treatment is inconclusive.
More research is needed to support anecdotal evidence about the benefits of rice water for hair.
