Your Hair is most vulnerable to colours, chemicals and water damage on Holi. While nothing should deter you from playing the festival of colours, a little hair care can keep your strands from spoiling. Here’s what you can do for your pre and post Holi hair care

Deep Conditioning

Dry hair is more prone to damage due to colour. Deep conditioning your hair night before Holi can soothe dry hair strands and prevent the colour from penetrating in your hair shaft. Also, if you have split ends, go for a trim to lessen the damage

Use a Protectant

Nothing works best than the good old coconut oil to protect your hair from colour-damage. Smudge coconut oil from roots to tips on each and every hair strand. It will not only protect your hair from colour but also help you style your hair in a perfect top knot or French tail!

Shield against UV

During Holi celebrations, you cannot hide from the harmful UV rays and sunshine. While you can arm your skin with SPF 50+ sunscreens, it is your hair that needs to be protected by either using a bandana or going for a sun-shielding spray.

Follow-Up with Hair Mask

Post Holi, ditch your regular shampoo and use an intense smooth shampoo to rinse off the colour, nourish your hair with a hair mask and follow up with a gentle massage to improve blood circulation!

3. Wash less often
Frequent washing strips your scalp of its natural oils, which in turn stimulates additional oil production and makes you feel the need to wash it even more. Try just rinsing in the shower after a day at the beach or pool, and see if that gets rid of some extra oil. Use a homemade or natural dry shampoo, such as cornstarch, in place of regular shampoo to go a bit longer without washing.
