Hey all..m here today with a new post which is full of tips on how to take care of your hair and skin prior to playing the colorful festival Holi .

Artificial colors will cause ill effects on your skin and hair.How to protect yourself from harsh colors of holi:

Here are the points to be noted before stepping out to play holi:
  • oil your hairs heavily, with some thick oil like castor oil to prevent your scalp and hair from getting colored. And washing color off will no longer be a tough task.
  • Cover yourself as much as you can,with long wear dresses .
  • Braid your hair up.
  • Colors mixed with water is more penetrating in to your skin than the dry colors. So try to play with dry colors rather than mixing with water.(you can save water also:p)
  • Wear lot of sunscreen on the exposed parts of your skin.
  • Nails can get stained by colors which is painful to remove. Hence apply oil or petroleum jelly for nail as well as cuticle. While washing nails ,use a tooth brush and a mild hand wash to clean it up.
  • Light oils like almond oil can be used on face to remove the colors.
  • Moisturizing the skin is must before and after playing. Sensitive skinned people can go with light oils like almond oil.
