New Delhi, May 25 (IANS). Nowadays many people are troubled by problems like hair fall, dryness, dandruff, itching and oily scalp. For these problems, people spend a lot of money on expensive shampoos and treatments, but buttermilk is considered an easy and effective option for hair care. The nutrients present in buttermilk can help in keeping the scalp clean and reducing many hair problems.
According to experts, lactic acid, protein, calcium, vitamin B and good bacteria are found in buttermilk. Lactic acid acts as a natural cleanser. It helps in removing dirt, excess oil and dead cells from the scalp. When the scalp remains clean, oxygen and nutrition reach the hair roots better. This makes the scalp cleaner.
Buttermilk is also considered very helpful in the problem of dandruff and itching. Many times itching and white layer starts forming due to fungal infection or accumulation of dirt on the scalp. The natural acids and probiotic elements present in buttermilk help in maintaining the balance of the scalp. This reduces fungal infection and provides relief from itching. Experts say that if buttermilk is used once or twice a week, the problem of dandruff gradually starts reducing.
Buttermilk is also considered beneficial for dry and lifeless hair. The proteins and fats present in it help in giving natural moisture to the hair. This is the reason why buttermilk acts as a natural conditioner on hair. When hair remains moist, it becomes more soft and shiny. Especially in summer, hair becomes dry quickly due to sunlight and sweat. In such a situation, buttermilk also works to cool the scalp.
The method of applying buttermilk to hair is also very easy. First of all take fresh buttermilk. After this, apply it thoroughly on the scalp and hair length with the help of hands or cotton. Leave it on the hair for about 20 to 30 minutes so that its nutrients can reach the scalp. After this wash hair with mild shampoo.
