Curd is a great source of protein, along with calcium, potassium, magnesium, and vitamin A. All these nutrients are needed for healthy hair. Curd can be taken in the diet to get all these nutrients or apply curd directly on the scalp. Applying curd directly on scalp reduces dandruff, works as a conditioner on hair and strengthen the hair roots.
1. SImply Curd
The main cause of dandruff is bacteria. Apply curd directly on the dandruff region, slowly apply all over your head and hair. Leave it for 30 minutes for it to dry. Wash it with warm water. Try this weekly twice. Not only this will reduce dandruff, but it will also give shine to your hair.

Besam or gram flour works well in removing the dead cells on the scalp. Mix 1 tsp of besan in 1 cup of surd. Beat and blend the flour well with the curd and apply the paste on the scalp. This could be a sticky and thick paste, so, you can apply 1 tbsp coconut oil in the mixture. After applying on the scalp, keep the paste on the scalp for 25-35 minutes. Wash with cool water.

Using curd or any home remedy should be tried for a month continuously. In case you do not find any change, or the dandruff condition worsens, we advise you to visit a good dermatologist. In case you do not find any relief from dandruff after using a curd hair mask for 2 weeks, then it could be something more severe or something else. Dandruff isn’t life-threatening, however, if you are uncomfortable with scalp itching and white flakes, visit a nearby dermatologist.
