Curd is full of probiotics that is naturally anti-bacterial to help maintain a healthy flora on our scalp. A healthy scalp can contribute to stronger hair follicles thereby reducing hair loss. Curd is also a rich source of protein, which is the essential component to keeping our hair moist, healthy and smooth. Protein is also effective for minimizing dandruff and itchiness of our scalp.
