how to use curd for dandruff - #37085
I am really struggling with this dandruff issue, and it’s getting kind of embarrassing. I’ve tried shampoos and oils, but nothing seems to work. A friend mentioned that using curd could really help, but I have no idea how to use curd for dandruff the right way. Like, should I apply it directly to my scalp? And how long do I let it sit? I read that the probiotics in curd can help balance the scalp, but I worry not using curd properly might not give the results I’m looking for. Here's the thing – I kinda freaked out the other day while I was in a meeting. As I ran my fingers through my hair, flakes just started falling. It was SO embarrassing! I've even tried some DIY masks but nothing seems to calm the itchiness or get rid of those stubborn flakes. Last week, I saw a video online showing someone who mixes curd with other ingredients – maybe I should try that? Is there a certain combo that works best? Or is just curd good enough?? Honestly, I’m just really tired of feeling self-conscious about this. If there’s a good way to use curd for dandruff, I’d appreciate any tips or recipes or anything – I’m willing to try whatever at this point!

Curd has been praised for its potential in balancing the scalp due to its cooling properties and being rich in vitamins and probiotics. For dandruff, curd can indeed be beneficial, but let’s ensure you apply it the correctly way.
To start, using plain curd directly does help, but for more effectiveness, combining it with certain ingredients is ideal. Mixing curd with lemon juice is one popular method, since lemon has natural astringent properties that can help in cleaning the scalp. Another effective combo is with neem (Azadirachta indica) powder, which has antifungal properties and works well against dandruff.
Here’s a simple process to follow:
1. Prepare the Mixture: Take about 1 cup of fresh plain curd (not flavored). Add the juice of half a lemon or a tablespoon of neem powder. Mix well.
2. Application: Apply this mixture to your scalp. Use your fingertips to gently massage it in, ensuring the mixture is evenly distributed and reaches the roots.
3. Duration: Leave it on for about 20–30 minutes. This allows time for the curd to moisturize and the lemon or neem to work on reducing flakiness.
4. Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Avoid hot water as it might dried out the scalp.
5. Frequency: It’s advisable to use this treatment 2-3 times a week, depending on the severity of your dandruff.
This method is generally safe, but always patch test new ingredients to rule out allergies or sensitivities on your skin. Also remember drying the hair thoroughly after each wash, as dampness can contribute to yeast growth, worsening dandruff.
If you’re still facing persistent issues after trying these remedies, consulting a healthcare professional or an Ayurvedic physician might be beneficial to explore deeper root causes. Lifestyle and diet also play role in balancing the doshas, sometimes internal factors like stress or diet contribute to symptoms that can be mirrored on the skin.
