Holi 2023 is just around the corner and the uprising is if we are ready for the haircare. We bring you a detailed step-by-step regime to follow and post your Holi bash to avoid hair damage.
Holi Pre Hair Care
Avoid Washing Hair
Don’t wash your hair at least one day before Holi. Let the natural oils in your hair reach the surface so they can serve as a natural barrier against harsh colours.
Oiling
One of the most crucial procedures in pre-Holi hair care is oiling. Untangle your hair with a comb, then massage a thick layer of oil over your scalp after mixing some oil with a few drops of lemon juice. Your scalp will be protected by the oil, which stops damaging colours from penetrating it, and by the lemon, which guards it against bacterial infections.
Braid
When exposed to air, open hair is most susceptible to damage, which raises the possibility of hair breaking. Before you leave the house, braid your hair to prevent damage. To keep your hair out of your face and protect it, you can use milk braids or a braided low bun. For additional layers of protection, cover your braided hair with a bandana.
Liquids
Drink plenty of liquids for at least a week prior to Holi to refresh and nourish your face and hair. It is advisable to be prepared beforehand with wholesome skin and hair.
Post-Holi Hair Care
It’s time to get down to business now that you’re back at your house, exhausted and all coloured. Post-Holi care is essential to preventing all the harm that the colours might have done.
Normal Wash
The first step is to massage your head while submerging it in water that is room temperature to remove the top coat of paint. You advance to the next stage of the regimen when you notice that the coloured water has diminished or stopped erupting.
Wash your Head
Pour some shampoo slowly over your head after diluting it with water. Massage your hair while you do this to help the shampoo clean your scalp. This time, rinse it under warm water. After rinsing your head, feel your scalp for any potential areas where the colours may still have left a mark. This time, apply the shampoo directly to your hands, massage your hair, and thoroughly rinse it off. Use Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, a reparative shampoo that is highly hydrating and leaves hair manageable, lustrous, and healthier with each use.
Hair Mask
Before using conditioner, use a mask. Next, apply your conditioner to help lock in the necessary moisture and further assist prevent breakage. The shampoo helps to open the cuticles, rinse-off hair masks provide volume and shine, and so on. Fermented rice water makes for the most natural rinse-off hair mask. Your PH level will be maintained, it will serve as an antioxidant, and it will heal damaged cells if you massage it into your scalp and let it sit for 20 minutes before washing. Chronologiste Masque Intense Régénérant Hair Mask is another option for a thorough repair.
Overall Treatment
For a while, refrain from styling or drying your hair with any artificial devices and allow them to dry naturally. To prevent split ends, use nightly treatments over the coming weeks and try to get a haircut. Apply the Sephora Collection Hair Sleeping Mask twice in the first week after Holi to completely heal your hair. To keep the moisture in your hair sealed in for the next weeks, combine coconut milk and a vitamin E capsule.
