Hair Loss
Applying ghee on hair can increase oiliness, creating an environment for bacterial or fungal growth making the hair weak, leading to hair loss.
Hard to style
Ghee gives a heavy texture to the hair and sometimes uneven application makes it difficult to style the hair.
Scalp Acne
Clarified butter clogs the scalp pores and hair follicles which can cause inflammation, leading to painful acne on the scalp.
Tangled Hair
Ghee causes the hair to stick together making them heavy and friction between the strands causes them to tangle.
Scalp Build-Up
The clarified butter is very heavy and thick, creating a barrier on the scalp that prevents sweat from evaporating, leading to scalp build-up.
Allergic Reactions
People with existing skin conditions or those sensitive to dairy products should avoid applying ghee on their scalp to prevent allergic reactions.
