can we apply curd on hair

Shivam

I am really curious if we can apply curd on hair or if that's just one of those old wives’ tales. I've been struggling with dry, frizzy hair forever, and my friend swears that using curd has helped her locks a lot. Like, she has this shiny, manageable hair that I can't help but envy! So, I decided to give it a shot last weekend. I just took some plain yogurt straight out of the fridge and massaged it into my hair and scalp for about 30 mins. Was I supposed to add anything else? I wasn’t sure if just plain curd was enough. Then, I rinsed it out with my regular shampoo but I’m not really sure if it did anything at all, to be honest. The idea of using curd on hair sounds super natural and since I wanna avoid all those harsh chemicals in typical products, I'm kinda leaning towards it. Can we apply curd on hair and, like, really expect some good results? Or do I need to be doing something more to see a difference? Should I do it once a week or every few days? And, omg, does it even work on different hair types?

Yes, you can apply curd on your hair, and it’s actually a practice that some people find beneficial for certain hair issues. Curd, or yogurt, contains nutrients like protein, calcium, and lactic acid, which can potentially nourish and moisturize the hair, helping combat dryness and frizz. Although it’s more of a traditional remedy, there’s a basis for some of its benefits in terms of hydration and smoothness, which might be useful for dry, frizzy hair like yours. However, it’s important to note that results can vary depending on individual hair type, condition, and external factors. Using plain yogurt is a good start, as it is a natural conditioner. But adding a few ingredients might enhance its effects—like a teaspoon of honey, olive oil, or a little lemon juice if you’re looking for an extra boost of shine and nourishment. Your method sounds fine, massaging it into the scalp and hair, then leaving it on for about 30-45 minutes before washing it out with a mild shampoo. Concerning frequency, starting with once a week should be adequate; you can always adjust depending on how your hair responds. While some people see noticeable improvements, others might not experience significant changes. It’s more of a trial and personalize approach. It’s also worth checking how your hair reacts after regular use—if it’s too heavy or oily, you might need to adjust the amount or combination of ingredients. Additionally, be mindful if you have any scalp conditions like psoriasis or fungal infections, where lactic acid might not be suitable. Remember, it’s always a good idea to monitor any changes or reactions and consult a dermatologist if specific concerns arise.
