Holi may be the most colourful festival celebrated in India but one can't celebrate it without a little bit of caution. If not mindful, harsh chemical colours can deteriorate your skin and hair. However you're in safe hands folks, because we're not going to let you damage your hair's natural texture nor let it dry out. Hair care is essential and one of the best precautionary measures to take when you're off to play with colour is to thoroughly oil it. Oiling creates a barrier between those chemicals and hair that prevents colours from seeping into the scalp and the follicles but also reduces the time (and effort) in getting all that colour off of you. No damage to your hair and yet you get to enjoy this fabulous festival? We'd call that a win-win situation!
