Of late, the colours of Holi have resulted in health hazards for many of us. Many people face the problem of skin rashes or damaged locks immediately after Holi. Thus, it is important for all of us to take care of our skin and hair pre and post Holi. As far as your beautiful looks are concerned, you need to take special care of them both pre and post Holi. Here are certain steps that
can help you in maintaining your hair and preventing any kind of hair
damage.
Hair care before playing Holi
Before you start playing with Holi, you need to take steps to care for your precious locks. You should note here that to survive the chemical colours, you will have to provide your hair with extra nourishment as well as protection. The most effective and simplest method to protect your hair will be to massage it with Jaborandi hair oil. You can do it an hour before you start playing with colours. This oil will form a protective layer on your hair and will ensure that no hair damage takes place. Moreover, once you shampoo your hair after playing Holi, the colours will easily get removed. Apart from this, mixture of jojoba and rosemary oil can also be the right base oil for your hair. These oils will not allow any harmful chemicals to settle down on your hair. The oil will easily penetrate your cortex.
Moreover, the oil also takes care of the dryness which is caused due to weather and the chemical colours. Thus, your hair will receive the required nourishment easily. In order to get better results, you can also soak a towel in hot water and wrap it around your oiled hair. You can leave it for around half an hour so that you can ensure proper penetration of the oil. Also, while you go out to play Holi, you can cover your hair with bandana or cap. This will help you save your scalp.
Hair care after Holi
Once you have finished playing Holi, you will also have to take steps to complete the hair care procedure. As you wash your hair, ensure that you rinse it first with plenty of water. This will help you wash away the dry colours as well as particles of mica. It is better to use a mild shampoo to wash off your hair after playing colours. You can also go for a home-made shampoo consisting of shikakai, reetha and amla or Indian gooseberry soaked overnight, boiled and strained in the morning. You should massage your scalp gently with this shampoo and rise it off with water. Apart from this, add lemon juice into a mug of water and use it as a last rinse. This will restore the acid-alkaline balance of the scalp. You can also apply henna to your hair. Make a paste of henna powder with lemon juice and coffee and enough curd. You can apply it on the hair and wash it off after an hour.
If you follow the above mentioned steps, you will be able to avoid any kind of hair damage due to Holi colours. In case, if there are any complication, you should immediately contact a trichologist.
