Colour Your World, Not Your Hair: Holi Tips for a Beautiful Afterglow

Colour Your World, Not Your Hair: Holi Tips for a Beautiful Afterglow
TINA KHATRI
As the festive spirit of Holi fills the air, preparations for the colourful celebration are underway. However, amidst the excitement, it's crucial to protect your skin and hair from potential damage caused by the vibrant colours. To ensure a safe and joyful celebration, experts and women across various communities shared their advice on keeping skin and hair healthy during the festival.
Pre-Holi Skin Care
Before stepping out to enjoy the festival of colours, skincare was essential to prevent lasting damage. Seema Soni, an experienced skincare expert, advised, “Apply a generous layer of moisturiser or oil before heading out. Coconut oil or almond oil worked well, creating a protective layer on the skin, making it harder for colours to stick.” For those with sensitive skin, she recommended using sunscreen with a high SPF. “The added UV protection made a big difference, especially in the heat of the day,” she added.
Hair Protection
Protecting your hair from the harmful effects of synthetic colours was just as important. Holi celebrations could leave hair dull and dry if not properly cared for, but expert hairstylist Akanksha Agrawal suggested a simple solution. “Coat your hair with a generous amount of coconut or olive oil, especially on the ends. It not only nourished the hair but also acted as a barrier, preventing colours from soaking in.” For added protection, Priya recommended wearing a scarf or a hat to shield hair from direct exposure.
Post-Holi Skin Care
After the fun, it was time to focus on restoring the skin’s health. Supriya Sharma, an educator, stressed the importance of a gentle post-Holi skincare routine. “Avoid harsh scrubbing or chemical-based cleansers. Instead, use a hydrating, gentle cleanser to wash off the colours. Aloe vera gel was great for calming the skin and providing much-needed hydration,” she explained. Applying a nourishing moisturiser after cleansing helped lock in moisture and soothe any irritation caused by the colours.
Opt for Natural Colours
Many women, including health-conscious mom Vini Jhariya, opted for natural, organic colours that year to avoid the harsh chemicals in synthetic versions. “I preferred using herbal or flower-based colours because they’re safer for both the skin and hair,” Neha shared. “It’s a small change that made a big difference in terms of skin irritation and long-term hair damage.”
