When trying out a curd mask, it’s best to have a clear approach for washing it out especially with ingredients like honey which can be sticky. After applying curd to your hair, start by rinsing it thoroughly with lukewarm water. This temperature helps in loosening and getting rid of the mask without causing further dryness or friction. Avoid hot water as it might exacerbate frizziness.
Considering you’ve already tried using regular shampoo, let’s tweak that a bit for better results. Opt for a mild herbal shampoo which aligns with Ayurvedic traditions, ideally one without harsh chemicals or sulfates. These options can help in preserving the moisture balance of your hair. While washing, gently massage the scalp and the hair shafts to ensure you’re effectively breaking down any residue.
The mixing of honey is fine but ensure it’s in small quantities next time, since too much could indeed make it stickier. If persistent smell remains an issue, doing a light rinse with water mixed with a bit of natural lime juice or apple cider vinegar can help neutralize odors. These act as mild clarifying agents.
Regarding the temperature of water, it does affect the pore closure on the scalp and helps in smoothing down the hair cuticle. So, follow-up your rinse with cool water. This seals the hair cuticles and locks in moisture, potentially combatting frizz.
Ending with a natural, light conditioner is wise, especially if your hair is frizzy by nature. Choose one enriched with herbals like aloe vera or brahmi. It can be applied primarily to the ends of your hair to avoid any scalp build-up. This might aid in maintaining the smoothness of hair after oil masks.
Remember, consistency is key in any hair care routine. So, allow your hair to adapt to these changes over time.
