how much time to keep curd on hair - #39805
I am really confused about using curd on my hair. You hear all the time how great it is for hair health, right? Some friends swore it worked wonders for their frizz and dryness, so I thought I’d give it a shot. I mixed plain yogurt (is that the same as curd??) with some essential oils and applied it to my hair, which is kinda damaged after coloring it lately. The result? A bit tangly, but nothing out of the ordinary. Now here’s where I’m stuck—how much time to keep curd on hair? I left it for around 30 mins, and it felt nice, but I’m worried it wasn’t enough time to see any benefits. A couple of sourses said that it’s fine to go over an hour, while others suggested just 20 minutes. Should I be looking for signs that it's not working or like, a weird smell or something? Don’t wanna risk damage or make my hair greasy! I really wanna soak up those nourishing properties but feel like I’ve been winging this whole hair care thing! If anyone can share their experiences of how much time to keep curd on hair or other tips, I would really really appreciate it! Like, do you rinse it out with cold water or warm? Any specifics would be amazing, thanks!

You’re right in exploring curd (plain yogurt is indeed similar!) as a natural treatment for hair, especially if you’re experiencing dryness and damage. In Ayurveda, curd is considered beneficial due to its nourishing, hydrating and naturally conditioning properties. The time you should keep curd on your hair can vary based on your hair type and its current condition.
For those with damaged or dry hair, a duration of 30 minutes to one hour is generally sufficient to reap the benefits without risking any negative effects, like feeling too greasy or heavy. Note that the curd hydrates, cools and helps combat frizz by giving moisture from within out. For others with naturally oily hair, about 20-30 minutes might be more appropriate to avoid excess oiliness.
There’s no need to worry if the curd doesn’t feel effective immediately—sometimes results require consistent application over time. However, be cautious of a sour smell or if your hair feels particularly heavy afterward—it might indicate excessive use or the need to rinse better. Rinse your hair with lukewarm water followed by a colder rinse to seal the hair cuticles, aiding in improved shine and smoothness.
Consider these tips: Using plain curd is advisable, but your addition of essential oils was a good move, as long as they’re suitable for hair care. A soothing option could be a few drops of rosemary or lavender oil, known for their extensive benefits in hair treatments. Ensure thorough mixing of the curd to avoid clumping which could be difficult to rinse out fully.
Introduce curd treatments gradually into your hair care routine, perhaps once a week. Monitor how your hair responds, adjusting frequency based on results. If any irritation arises or noticeable adverse changes occur, it’s wise to pause and evaluate. Consistent yet mindful application is key to achieving desired results!
