Holi Hair Care Tips: Holi is around the corner. While it is considered one of the most colourful festivals, it is sometimes tough on the skin and hair. Holi brings joy, colours, and fun, but it can be challenging for your hair. Harsh colour pigments, sun exposure, and excessive washing can lead to dryness and damage. Amy Johnson, Global Head of Education of Dyson shares how you can prepare your hair before Holi using expert-backed tips.

5 Essential Pre-Holi Hair Care Tips

Here are some of the hair care tips you can consider:

Oil Is Your Best Friend

Amy recommends treating your hair to a pre-Holi oil massage. She advises a generous coating of coconut oil or almond oil creates a protective barrier, preventing colours from penetrating the hair shaft.

Braid Or Tie Your Hair

According to Amy, braiding, bun-making, or tying your hair in a ponytail minimises colour contact and prevents tangles. This reduces the amount of colour absorbed and makes post-Holi cleanup easier.

Use tools That Minimise Heat Damage

Hair styling tools can lead to hair damage. According to Amy, minimise heat styling to keep your strands hydrated and strong. If you need to style, reach for the Airstrait, which styles from wet to dry without heat damage, leaving your hair prepped and ready for Holi. And if you're using a hairdryer, the Supersonic Nural with its intelligent Scalp protect mode is a game-changer.

Wear A Scarf Or Cap

Amy recommends covering your hair with a scarf or cap. This provides a physical barrier against harsh chemicals in the colours, shields your hair from the sun's drying effects, and further minimises colour absorption.

Don’t Skip Washing Or Drying

Washing your hair after Holi is crucial to remove colours, chemicals, and excess oil. However, wet hair is more vulnerable to breakage. According to Amy, you should use lukewarm water and a gentle shampoo for washing. You can also consider using a multi-styler, which utilises intelligent heat control and results in no heat damage during drying and styling.
