how to use curd on hair - #38306
I am dealing with some serious hair issues lately. My hair feels all dry and frizzy, like hay or something, ugh. I read somewhere that curd can help with hair problems. I mean, is that even true?? My friend swears by it and says she knows how to use curd on hair to make it smoother and more manageable. I've actually tried a bunch of different products, but nothing seems to work for me. The other day I bought some nice, fresh curd thinking maybe I should give it a go. But I’m not sure, like, how to use curd on hair exactly. Do I just slather it on? Should I mix it with something? I heard mixing it with some oils or maybe lemon can help but that feels a bit odd, you know? Also, how long do I keep it on? I worry I’ll leave it too long and my hair will smell weird or something, lol. I also have kinda sensitive scalp and I’m nervous about any irritation too??? Trying to avoid a disaster here! If anyone has tips or tricks or how to use curd on hair effectively, I’d love to hear them. Thanks in advance!

Using curd on hair can indeed be beneficial, particularly for issues like dryness and frizziness, which you mentioned you’re dealing with. Curd is rich in probiotics, deep conditioning properties, and lactic acid, which help nourish the scalp and add moisture. If you’re game to try some Ayurvedic-inspired approaches, here’s how you can effectively use curd on your hair.
Firstly, using plain curd by itself can be effective. Apply about half a cup of curd directly onto your hair and massage it gently, covering both your hair and scalp. It’s best to dampen your hair first, to improve absorption. Let the curd sit for around 30 minutes before rinsing it off thoroughly with lukewarm water. Doing this once or twice a week could help regain some of that lost moisture and smoothness.
If you’re up for a little experimentation, you can mix a few tablespoons of curd with a teaspoon of oil like coconut or olive to enrich the mask. Oils are particularly good when you mix them with curd as they can deeply penetrate the hair shafts, enhancing moisture retention. Similarly, if you’re looking for a cleansing effect, a few drops of lemon juice can be added. This combination might also promote scalp health due to lemon’s mild acidic nature, but be cautious as too much lemon can dry out your hair further.
About keeping the curd mask on—30 minutes is usually good; longer might feel heavy or could cause unwanted scalp sensitivity, especially if you have a sensitive scalp. Rinse it with a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to avoid unwanted residue or odor, while keeping nutrients intact.
Lastly, ensure the curd you use is fresh and at a cool temperature. Always do a patch test if you’re using curd with additional ingredients, especially given your sensitivity concerns. If you notice any irritation, wash it off immediately and consult a professional if needed.
