Your skin and hair needs some extra tender love and care during this time of the year. After all, excessive exposure to colors, sun and other chemicals can strip off your mane of it natural luster. To ensure that your hair stays as beautiful as you, just take a few precautionary measures and dance your way to fabulous hair this Holi with these expert tips.

Oil, Oil, Oil

Oil your hair well before you step out to play. Indulging in a warm coconut, jojoba, castor or olive oil massage the night before will provide your hair maximum nutrition and will prevent it from drying. What's good is that it will help the colors come off easily during a headbath.

Wrap a hot one

If you can spare some time, go for a 'Hot Towel Treatment' a night before your big Holi-do. Just dunk a towel in hot water, squeeze it and wrap it around your head. Leaving on for about 30 minutes. The steam will open up the pores, boosting hair health.

Juice it up

If you get itchy, dry scalp every time someone applies gulaal on it, we suggest you massage a few drops of lime juice on to your mane before you step out. Doing so will serve as a protective shield against the harsh colors on the scalp.
