While breast milk is known for its nutritional benefits for babies, putting it in your hair is not recommended.
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that breast milk has any positive effects on hair health. It's important to remember that breast milk is designed for nourishing infants, not for topical application on hair.
Here's why using breast milk on your hair is not a good idea:
- No proven benefits: There are no studies showing that breast milk improves hair growth, strength, or shine.
- Potential for bacterial growth: Breast milk can harbor bacteria, which could lead to scalp infections or irritation if applied to the hair.
- Unpleasant odor: Breast milk can become rancid and develop an unpleasant smell over time.
- Wasted resource: Breast milk is a valuable resource for infants and should be prioritized for their nutritional needs.
Instead of using breast milk, consider using commercially available hair care products that are specifically designed for your hair type and concerns.
