Holi, the festival of colours, brings joy but can leave your hair stained. Swipe to discover effective techniques to safely remove Holi colour from your hair and restore its natural shine.
PRE-HOLI HAIR PROTECTION
Apply a generous amount of coconut or olive oil to your hair before playing Holi to create a protective barrier against colour penetration.
GENTLE SHAMPOOING
Use a mild shampoo to gently wash off the Holi colour from your hair. Avoid harsh shampoos that can strip away natural oils and further damage your hair.
NATURAL REMEDIES
Try natural remedies like a mixture of yoghurt and lemon juice or a paste of gram flour and milk to help remove the stubborn colour from your hair.
VINEGAR RINSE
Rinse your hair with a solution of vinegar and water to help dissolve the colour and restore pH balance to your scalp.
CONDITIONING TREATMENT
Follow up with a deep conditioning treatment to replenish moisture and nourishment to your hair, helping to restore its softness and shine.
AVOID HOT WATER
Rinse your hair with cool or lukewarm water instead of hot water, as hot water can further open the hair cuticles and cause colour to penetrate deeper.
POST-HOLI HAIR CARE
After removing the colour, continue to nourish your hair with hydrating masks, oils, and gentle hair care products to promote hair health and prevent dryness.
THE STUDY
A study conducted by Dr Neha Rastogi et al. at the Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) found that using natural remedies like yoghurt and lemon juice effectively removes Holi colour from hair without causing damage.
CONCLUSION
Safely remove Holi colour from your hair and ensure your locks remain healthy and vibrant throughout the festive season. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalised medical advice and treatment.
