Bhringraj Powder Hair Pack with Curd
Bhringraj powder mixed with curd into a cooling scalp and hair pack, used every two weeks for dry, frizzy hair.
Why bhringraj is used this way
Bhringraj (Eclipta alba), called the king of hair, is a small wetland herb used in hair oils and packs. Evidence in people is limited; oiling mainly helps with dryness and scalp comfort.
A bhringraj pack is a traditional alternative to oiling for people who dislike oily hair. Curd adds moisture and makes the pack easier to rinse out.
