Expert tips to protect your hair and skin this Holi!

Though Holi is a happy festival and it brings a lot of joy and colors to our lives yet this festival can prove to be harmful for your hair and skin! Brutal and harmful colors of Holi might have chemicals that can damage your hair and skin permanently. Salons and hair spas are jam-packed on the days after Holi, with people who are there to seek proper treatment for the damages that occurred during Holi celebrations.

A team of experts from Ego Wellness is here to reveal a few damages that Holi colors can do to your scalp and skin:

• These colors, in dry or liquid state, can bring about a skin condition that can causes redness and rashes on the scalp. This can also lead to unbearable itching and excessive hair-fall.
  
• They can also contribute in making matters worse for you in case you are already suffering from any skin or scalp sensitivity.  
  
• The chemicals present in these colors can irritate the skin and result in break-outs and severe acne.
  
• They can rip away the moisture from your hair and make them dull, dry and brittle.
  

Now after knowing these issues let us read about a few ways through which you can enjoy your Holi party without worrying about hair and skin damages:

• The least difficult and best technique would be to rub your hair with good hair oil, ideally coconut oil, an hour or so before heading towards your Holi celebrations. The hair oil would create a sort of defensive coat on the surface of your hair. This coat would protect your hair from chemicals and dust particles.
  
• Moisturize your skin with a good moisturizer before smearing yourself in colors and water! This would not only protect your skin but later on it would also help you to take off the color easily!
