Curd (Dahi) has been used in Indian households for centuries, not only as a part of our diet but also as a traditional remedy for skin and hair care. But the most common question people ask is:
👉 “Is curd really good for hair, or can it cause damage?”
In this video, Dr. Mukesh Aggarwal, M.D., Trichologist, Author & Head of the World’s First Ayurveda Hair & Skin Clinic VHCA, explains the right way to use curd for hair and the precautions you must take.
✅ Benefits of Curd for Hair & Health
1. Natural Conditioner – Curd moisturizes dry and frizzy hair, making it soft and shiny.
2. Rich in Nutrients – It contains proteins, calcium, and vitamins that nourish the hair roots.
3. Fights Dandruff – Lactic acid in curd helps reduce dryness and flaky scalp.
4. Controls Hair Fall – Regular but limited use strengthens hair follicles and reduces hair fall.
5. Coolant for Scalp – It provides a soothing effect, especially during hot weather, and reduces scalp irritation.
⚠️ Cautions While Applying Curd on Hair
1. Although curd is beneficial, it must be used carefully. Overuse or improper application can cause problems:
2. Don’t use sour curd – Sour curd increases scalp dryness and may worsen dandruff.
3. Wash within 15–20 mins – Keeping curd for too long can lead to scalp itching or bad odor.
4. Limit usage to twice a week – Using curd more often can make the scalp too oily or lead to fungal infections.
📝 Procedure to Apply Curd on Hair (Step by Step)
1. Wet your hair slightly before application.
2. Apply curd evenly on the length of your hair (not too much on the scalp).
3. Leave it for 15–20 minutes only.
4. For added benefits, you can mix:
⦿ Aloe vera gel 🌿 – for hydration
⦿ Honey 🍯 – for shine
⦿ Lemon 🍋 – for dandruff control (use in small quantity)
5. Wash it off properly with water. For better results, use a herbal or mild shampoo.
⚠️ Important Precaution
⦿ Never use curd more than twice a week.
⦿ Overuse may lead to excessive scalp cooling, imbalance in scalp pH, or infections.
⦿ Always use fresh, unsour curd for hair care.
🌿 Ayurvedic Perspective
According to Ayurveda, curd (Dadhi) is heavy, oily, and sour in nature. If used in moderation and with the right method, it can be a natural boon for hair. However, when misused, it can create Kapha imbalance, leading to stickiness, dandruff, or scalp infections.
📌 Conclusion
👉 Curd is good for hair when used in the right way, in the right amount, and with proper precautions.
👉 It is bad for hair when overused, when sour curd is applied, or if it is left for too long.
So, curd can be your natural hair conditioner if you use it wisely.
