how long to keep curd on hair - #38337
I am trying to figure out how long to keep curd on hair because I’ve heard it can really help with dryness and frizz. A few months back, I tried a bunch of treatments for my hair since it was just so dull and lifeless. Someone recommended using curd, and honestly, I was excited. But my first try was kinda a disaster; I ended up leaving it on for like an hour, just thinking more time means better results, right? But when I washed it out, my hair felt heavy and kinda sticky!! So now I’m wondering, how long to keep curd on hair for the best effect? I’ve read different things online, like anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours, and I am just confused! Do different hair types need different times? Mine is really thick and wavy, and I don’t want to mess it up again. Should I be mixing it with anything? Like, does adding honey or coconut oil change the timing? I'd just like to know what's the general guideline for how long to keep curd on hair. Hoping someone can share their experiences or advice! Thanks!!

Curd, or yogurt, is indeed a wonderful natural remedy that can help nourish and condition your hair, but it’s really important to apply it correctly to maximize its benefits without experiencing issues like you mentioned. Typically, the general guideline for keeping curd on your hair is about 30 to 45 minutes. This timeframe is usually sufficient to allow the curd to penetrate the hair shafts and hydrate your hair without causing any heaviness or residue.
Your thick and wavy hair texture might require a slight adjustment, by going up to an hour if needed. Overextending the timing, like for two hours or more, can cause that heavy and sticky feeling as the curd begins to dry out on your hair, making it harder to wash off. It’s a bit of trial and error but start with the suggested timing and tweak based on how your hair responds.
Mixing curd with other ingredients like honey or coconut oil can certainly enhance the treatment, but may also alter the duration slightly. Honey, being a humectant, can add extra moisture, and you may notice a silkier result. Coconut oil, rich in fatty acids, provides extra conditioning. If you’re adding these, stick to the 30-45 minute timeframe to prevent the mixture from becoming overly greasy.
When you prepare your curd mask, ensure you apply it evenly on damp hair. This helps the curd to spread more easily and penetrate better. After applying, cover your hair with a shower cap to trap warmth and prevent drying. Rinse off thoroughly with cool or lukewarm water to remove all residues effectively. You may follow up with a mild shampoo if needed to remove any lingering stickiness.
Try this regimen once a week or bi-weekly, depending on your hair’s dryness level. With consistency, you should see an improvement in your hair’s texture and appearance, but remember to adjust the timing based on how your hair feels after each treatment.
