Bye to Dandruff & Itchy Scalp

The most common problem we all face especially in monsoon and summer is Dandruff! But not to worry when you have curd by your side. Curd’s anti-inflammatory properties help in controlling dandruff. Now what you have to do is…

Curd Lemon Hair Mask

Mix 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and honey with 2-3 tablespoons of curd. Make a paste and apply the mask to your entire scalp and seal with a shower cap. Wait for 30 minutes and then wash it off with your choice of shampoo and conditioner. Do this twice a week if you can, (or once a week, on weekends) for better results and faster relief from dandruff.

Keeps A Check On Hair Fall

Curd provides deep nourishment to the scalp, making it stronger. The vitamins and nutrients in the curd are good for boosting scalp immunity, and thus preventing hair fall. A tried and tested hair mask for you to try is…

Curd Fenugreek Hair Mask

Combine curd with fenugreek (methi) powder. If you don’t have fenugreek powder, soak 1 tbsp of fenugreek overnight and make a paste of it. Apply the fenugreek curd paste to your scalp and leave it for 15 minutes before washing it off with mild shampoo. Fenugreek and curd help in preventing hair fall considerably.

Hair growth rich in protein

To keep a check on your hair fall, your scalp needs to be healthy too. And guess what, the vitamin B in curd, as well as zinc, promotes better and faster hair growth. Your hair follicles also require protein to be strong and healthy and just by adding some curd to your hair care routine, you will be flaunting your strong and shiny hair in no time.

Curd Egg Mask

Whisk one egg until you get a runny texture. To it add the curd and make a smooth paste. Apply this to your hair from roots to tips. Leave this on for 30 minutes and rinse using shampoo and cold water. You can also add 1 tbsp lemon to the paste to mask the smell of the egg. Apply it once a week for better results.

Deep Conditions to your Hair

Curd is known to hydrate your scalp very well. It rejuvenates your hair follicles and gets rid of that dreaded dryness and dullness, especially during the winter months. It also softens your hair follicles and works as a soothing agent, adding shine to your hair and making it lustrous.

Banana Curd Mask

Mash half ripe banana until no lumps remain and to it add 2 tbsp curd, 1 tbsp lemon and honey. Mix all the ingredients. Use this blend on your hair and work your way from the roots to tips. Leave it for 30 minutes and then rinse it off with your favourite shampoo.

Curd-Olive Hair Mask

Take a small bowl and mix 1 tbsp of olive oil, 3 tbsp of curd and half a tsp of apple cider vinegar. Use this mask, liberally apply the mixture to the lengths of your hair, avoiding your scalp. Wait for about 30 minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm water, and shampoo and condition your hair as usual. Use this mask at least once a month to ensure your hair stays strong, healthy and hydrated.
