is it good to apply curd on hair - #37665
I am trying to figure out if is it good to apply curd on hair since I’ve been really struggling with dry, lifeless locks lately. Like, my hair feels rough and this frizz situation is getting out of hand! I read somewhere that curd can help with hair issues, but I'm not sure. Last week, I started to incorporate some natural remedies into my hair routine after hearing from a friend that she swears by using curd. She said it made her hair smooth and shiny, but I’ve got to be honest, I’m a bit skeptical. Curd smells kinda weird and I’m worried it might make my hair oily instead of fixing the dry parts. Has anyone else tried this? I also wonder how often should I do this, like, is it good to apply curd on hair once a week or even more frequently? And what about the application process itself — do I just slather it on or mix it with something? Also, does it matter if the curd is homemade or store-bought? It feels like there’s so much info out there, and just want some simple, honest advice. Any tips from you all would really help! Thanks!

Curd, or yogurt, can indeed be a beneficial remedy for addressing dryness and frizz in hair. In Ayurveda, curd is known for its cooling and nourishing properties. It’s particularly useful for pacifying Vata dosha imbalances, which are often responsible for the dryness and roughness you’re experiencing. Curd’s rich proteins and lactic acid offer moisturization, promoting smoothness and shine while taming frizz. For your concerns about the oily feel, the key is moderation and proper application.
In terms of frequency, using curd as a hair mask once a week is usually sufficient. Applying it too often might weigh your hair down if you’re naturally prone to oiliness. You’ll want to apply it after shampoo, spreading evenly from roots to tips, concentrating on the dry ends — often a neglected area that needs more moisture. Leave it on for about 20-30 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with lukewarm water. Avoid hot water, as it may cause curd to clump.
Mixing curd with other natural ingredients can amplify its benefits. A combination you might try involves mixing it with honey for added hydration or a dash of lemon juice if dealing with scalp issues like dandruff. These additions can enhance the benefits and address multiple concerns at once.
Whether homemade or store-bought doesn’t significantly affect its uses, provided the curd is fresh and free from additives. Homemade curd often ensures better quality, as it’s less processed, but a good plain store-bought version is perfectly fine, especially if time is a constraint for you.
Remember, Ayurveda encourages a holistic approach. Beyond topical applications, improving dietary habits by including hydrating and nourishing foods such as ghee, nuts, and seeds, coupled with a reduction in processed foods, can contribute to healthier hair over time.
