can i apply curd on hair - #22883

Neil

I am really confused about this whole thing with using curd on my hair. A few weeks ago, I had sooo much dandruff and my friend suggested applying curd on hair. She mentioned it would help with dryness and maybe even promote hair growth? But I’ve never done anything like this, so I was super skeptical at first. I googled “can I apply curd on hair” and saw mixed opinions - some people swear by it while others are like totally against it. I did try it a few days ago and left it on for an hour. My hair felt nice after washing it, but I’m not sure if it’s really effective or if it’s just me wanting it to work. Ugh, I don’t know! I am worried about if it will cause buildup on my scalp. Can I apply curd on hair often, or is it just a one-time deal? If I keep using it, are there any side effects I should be on the lookout for? It just feels like there’s a lot of info out there but nothing clear!! Would love some advice from all you experts on this whole "can I apply curd on hair" thing. Thanks in advance!

Doctors' responses

Applying curd to your hair is something some people have tried to address dryness and scalp issues, like dandruff, due to curd’s potential hydrating and soothing properties. Curd, essentially yogurt, contains lactic acid which may aid in gently exfoliating the scalp and reducing flakiness, while its proteins could potentially help nourish the hair. However, from a medical standpoint, there isn’t robust scientific evidence to back the claims of curd promoting hair growth or effectively handling dandruff compared to standard medical treatments. Using curd occasionally, like once a week, is generally considered okay, but be attentive to any changes or irritations. Some people might find that curd residue builds up over time, so it’s essential to wash it out thoroughly. If you notice any irritation or increased dandruff after use, it’s better to stop using it and consult with a dermatologist. These symptoms might indicate an allergic reaction or simply that curd isn’t suitable for your scalp type. For a more consistent outcome, you might want to consider shampoos with active ingredients such as zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, or ketoconazole, which are specially formulated to tackle dandruff more effectively. In case dandruff persists or you experience severe itching, redness, or scabs, seeking medical advice is prudent. Such signs could point toward conditions like seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis that might necessitate more comprehensive treatments. Always prioritize your skin and hair health, and opt for treatments with proven efficacy when possible.
