what happens if we apply curd on hair - #37871
I am really curious about something that's been on my mind lately. Last week, I decided to try this home remedy I heard about for hair health. I applied curd on hair, thinking it’d help with my dry, frizzy locks. My friend swears by it, saying it makes hair super smooth and shiny. Anyway, I left it on for a couple of hours and honestly, it felt kind of weird. Like, I was worried that the sour smell would stick around, but I rinsed it off and it wasn’t as bad as I expected. But now, I'm wondering what happens if we apply curd on hair regularly? I mean, I know it has protein and all that, right? My scalp felt a bit tingly after, which freaked me out a little, but I didn't see any irritation or anything drastic. But what am I supposed to expect long term? Will my hair actually get healthier or could it cause issues like build-up or greasiness? I guess I’m just looking for some reassurance or advice from you all! I’ve heard mixed reviews, some saying it’s a miracle and others saying it’s overrated. If applying curd on hair is good, how often should I do it? Any tips or potential downsides I should know about?

Applying curd to your hair can indeed have several potential benefits, but it’s essential to understand how it works within the Ayurvedic framework and what to expect. Curd, or yogurt, being rich in lactic acid, is known for its cooling and moisturizing properties. It helps in pacifying Pitta and Vata doshas, which are often responsible for causing dryness, frizz, and conditions like dandruff when imbalanced.
Short term, the lactic acid in curd can help exfoliate the scalp, clearing away dead skin cells and promoting a healthier growth environment. It may also condition your hair, giving it a smoother and shinier appearance, thanks to its protein content that can strengthen hair strands. Tingly sensation you experienced is normal and typically indicates the gentle exfoliating and cleansing action of the curd on your scalp.
However, if used excessively or inappropriately, it may lead to issues like scalp build-up or heaviness due to its thick consistency, especially if you don’t rinse properly. Balance is crucial – consider using curd as a hair mask once a week, especially if your hair leans towards dryness. You can mix it with a bit of honey or aloe vera gel to enhance the moisturizing effects. For oily hair types, mixing with lemon juice can help balance excess oil.
As for long-term use, curd can make your hair healthier, provided you regulate its application. Over-application might result in the opposite effect, leading to greasiness and build-up of residues. Cleaning thoroughly after use is critical, and addressing your unique hair type and needs is even more important. The key is moderation tailored to your dosha and personal hair condition.
If you experience persistent irritation or adverse reactions, it is advisable to reduce the frequency or discontinue use. Always adjust based on your body’s feedback, and if severe issues occur, consider consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner.
