multani mitti is good for hair - #27304

Aditi

I am kinda freaking out a little and need some advice. For the past few weeks, I've been dealin with crazy hair issues. My scalp's been super oily, and my hair feels like straw. A friend suggested I try multani mitti, saying it’s good for hair. Honestly, I have no idea if that's a real thing? But I’ve read a few blogs claiming that multani mitti is good for hair to reduce oil and add some shine. I thought about using it as a mask, but what if it makes it worse? Like, will it really help with oiliness or is it just one of those trendy things you see online? Also, do I need to mix it with something, or can I just use it straight up? Some people say that multani mitti is good for hair growth too, and I could honestly use any help I can get right now. Do you guys think it might actually work? I really don’t want to ruin my hair even more. If anyone out there has tried it, how often is it safe to use? Like, is once a week okay? Thanks a bunch!

Doctors' responses

To address your oily scalp and dry hair, multani mitti, also known as Fuller’s earth, is often mentioned in beauty and hair care as an earthy remedy for absorbing excess oil and improving shine. It’s true that multani mitti has traditionally been used for skin and hair care, mainly because of its oil-absorbing properties. This might make it seem helpful for your oily scalp situation. But there are a few things to keep in mind before jumping in. Multani mitti can be quite drying because it pulls oil out, so if your hair already feels straw-like, using it excessively might worsen that dryness. When applying it to your hair or scalp, it’s a good idea to mix it with other ingredients. For example, combining it with yogurt or aloe vera gel can help counteract the drying effects and provide a bit more nourishment to your hair. Honey or coconut oil could be other options to mix in. Applying it as a mask once a week is often suggested, but everyone’s hair is different, so keeping an eye on how your hair reacts is essential. If your hair becomes drier, it might be better to cut back the frequency. As far as its ability to promote hair growth, there’s limited scientific evidence backing that claim, so it’s more anecdotal than proven fact. Remember, if you’re noticing significant changes in your hair texture or scalp health, it could be beneficial to consult with a professional like a dermatologist or trichologist who can give more personalized advice. Hair issues like oiliness combined with straw-like texture might sometimes signal underlying health or dietary imbalances, so checking in with a healthcare provider is also wise.
