Ultimate Hair Care Guide for the Festive Holi Season
|
Holi, the festival of colors, brings joy and festivity across communities, celebrating the victory of good over evil. However, amidst the laughter and color throwing, our hair often bears the brunt of chemical colors, sun exposure, and neglect. This guide is designed to protect and pamper your hair during Holi, ensuring it stays healthy, vibrant, and beautiful.
Pre-Holi Hair Care Guide for Festive Holi
1. Oil Your Hair
Before stepping out to celebrate, generously apply PROTECT OIL to your hair. This not only forms a protective shield against harmful colors but also nourishes your scalp and strands. The natural ingredients in the oil provide an extra layer of moisture, preventing the colors from causing dryness or damage. We recommend the HairSmart Ayurvedic Therapy hair oil since it’s also infused with powerful hair growth ayurvedic herbs for that extra benefit.
2. Use a Protective Hair Serum
Applying a few drops of HairSmart Grow Serum can significantly shield your hair from the drying effects of Holi colors. This serum, tailored to strengthen and protect your hair, ensures that your celebration does not come at the cost of hair health.
3. Tie Your Hair Up
Keep your hair tightly tied up or braided to minimize exposure to colors. This simple step can significantly reduce the amount of color that comes into contact with your hair, making the post-Holi cleanup much easier.
4. Cover your Hair
If you can do it fashionably, the best thing would be to completely protect your hair by covering it with a cute hat, scarf, bandana or turban. We know, This look is not for everyone and you probably want to show off your gorgeous hair but just know that covering your hair is a great way to ensure least damage during these festivities.
Choosing the Right Products
Selecting natural, organic colors for Holi can significantly reduce the risk of chemical damage. Post-celebration, treating your hair with the right products is crucial. The HairSmart Root Scalp Hair Therapy Shampoo and HairSmart Restorative Conditioner are specially formulated to cleanse gently and nourish your hair, helping to repair and restore its natural moisture, strength and shine after exposure to harsh colors. They also help cool down the irritated and dry scalp and to restore and maintain the PH balance. The HairSmart Shampoo is gentle enough to use repeatedly to get the colors out of your hair without overly drying or stripping it.
During Holi - Protecting Your Hair
Covering your head with a cap or scarf can offer an additional layer of protection. If your hair does get wet, try to rinse it with plain water as soon as possible, preventing colors from setting and minimizing damage.
1. Post-Holi Hair Care Routine
Gently remove Holi colors using HairSmart Root Scalp Hair Therapy Shampoo. Follow up with HairSmart Restorative Conditioner to deeply moisturize and repair any damage. The aftercare is crucial, as it helps in restoring the natural pH balance of the scalp and strengthens the hair follicles.
