Neem has been used in Indian households for generations, and it appears in modern shampoos aimed at dandruff-prone scalps. Here is what neem is used for in hair care, how to use it and its limits.
Quick answer: neem is a botanical ingredient used in scalp-care shampoos to help cleanse and refresh the scalp. It is not a cure for dandruff or hair fall. Use it in a product designed for scalp care and see a doctor if problems persist.
What Is Neem Used For?
Neem leaves and extracts are traditionally used for their cleansing and soothing qualities on the scalp. In shampoos, neem is included alongside other botanicals for scalp freshness. It is not proven to treat medical scalp conditions, so look at it as one part of a scalp-care routine.
