Beginners opt to embrace natural remedies of enhancing the health and beauty of hair for they have been proved to work. One of the remedies that one is advised to work with occasionally is to wash the hair using milk. Milk with its nutritive value used in beauty products as outlined below has always been valuable to man for many centuries. In the following sections, it is important to consider a number of benefits of incorporating milk into the hair regimes.

Milk is a rich source of other nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin B6, biotin, potassium, and many others that are important in the growth and quality of our hair. From this, one is able to deduce that vitamin A plays a critical role in enabling sebum production which enhances the lubrication of the scalp. Biotin and other B vitamins act to introduced elasticity into the hair shaft and reduce breakages and hair shedding. This increases passage of water in the hair and the overall elasticity of the hair due to the potassium found in water.

The maintenance of the scalp plays an important role in determining how healthy one’s hair is, and this includes the condition of the scalp which is greatly enhanced by regular intake of water. Another advantage with milk is that it has high water content, and this make it effective in maintaining the skin ‘s moisture balance and as such prevents dryness and flakiness. By doing this, one can avoid instances where he/she experiences some symptoms like dandruff and an itchy head. Some ingredients deriving from milk, such as lactic acid, help to eliminate extra skin cells and create favorable conditions on the head.

Tap water from the kitchen faucet also cleanses the hair and is handy in that it does not leave hair feeling parched and stiff but rather soft and silky like milk. The proteins contained in the milk penetrate the hair shaft and calm the outer layer, with fats making hair less reactive, which means that they do not easily frizz up or tangle. As soon as you let the milk on your hair, you will observe a silkier texture and your hair will be easy to manage and style

Split ends ruin hair and make it look fluffy or untidy depending on the hair type. Lactalbumin and casein which are proteins in milk are also helpful in restructuring the hair shafts and thereby minimize formation of split ends. The result is that the cuticle of the hair is given a smoother surface when it absorbs milk and the nutrition that it contains also contributes to the strength of the ends thereby reducing their chances of splitting and breaking

The pH level of Milk is also slightly acidic and, in fact, equivalent to that of human hair naturally. Milk has the ability to create an equalizing effect on the hair and scalp’s pH in order to maintain the mantel of protection. This balance of sebum prevents the hair from become oily on the one hand and helps maintain a good scalp condition should not allow the hair to become too dry.
