The festival of colors is just round the corner and as it approaches, many of us look forward to playing Holi but also fear the damage it may cause to our hair and skin. In an attempt to not spoil the fun, some resort to using various creams and hacks to prevent the visible colours on their bodies, but this often leads to long-term damage such as dry and damaged hair and stained and sensitized skin.
To fully enjoy Holi while taking care of our hair and skin, it is essential to follow basic pre and post-Holi hair and skin care practices. In Ayurveda, the traditional medical system, it is believed that balancing the three doshas is crucial for healing, and some Ayurvedic solutions may help treat common skin and hair conditions such as eczema, dryness, redness, hair damage, and acne.
Vibhuti Munjal, Senior Brand Manager and Skin Expert, Clovia shares a few homecare Ayurvedic tips and hacks to follow to remove Holi colors from your skin and hair.
For Skin
For Hair
- After playing Holi, avoid immediately shampooing your hair. Use an egg yolk or curd mask instead, and then wait 45 minutes before shampooing. This will simplify colour removal and lessen any damage.
- Before heading outside to play, condition the hair with castor, coconut, or olive oils. Your hair will be protected from the colours by the oil. Also, this greasing of the scalp will make the colours easy to remove
- Another excellent method for preventing colour damage to your hair is coconut milk. After applying coconut milk to the hair, go to play. Use the coconut milk once more after you get home and shower an hour later.
Have a safe and a Happy Holi!
