The weather is just right to play Holi. While most people take care of the skin and nails when they play with colours, many forget that haircare is just as important. ROISHANI DEVI shares tips to prevent damage to them
When you are playing Holi, you forget the damage the colours can do to your skin, eyes and hair. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy this festival of colours. Here are tips that one can follow:
Putting lots of hair oil is an ageold trick to prevent the hair from getting damaged. Ensure that you oil them at least an hour before you start playing with colours. One can use almond oil.
Drink lots of fluids. Keep yourself well hydrated this will prevent your hair from getting dry and more vulnerable to harsh colours.
Ensure that you tie your hair properly, braid them. A better way would be to use a scarf to tie your hair. This will prevent the hair from damage.
After you have finished playing with colours, it is important to wash your hair properly. First, thoroughly wash your hair with plain water to get rid the colour. Use a mild shampoo. Leave it on for about 10 minutes. Rinse and apply a conditioner. You can make your own shampoo using shikakai, reetha and orange or lemon peel. If your hair feel dry, oil your hair again and leave it overnight. Wash off, the next day.
Apply a deep cleansing conditioner. Apply a hair mask using lemon, eggs, yogurt and amla after two to three days to treat the damage done to your hair.
