Holi 2023: Holi Haircare Tips For Curly Hair
It is time for the festival of colour Holi, which will be celebrated on 8 March 2023. It is all fun and games, but once it is all over, we are left with all that colour, which can be difficult to remove.
Just as you would prepare your skin in advance for the festival, it is essential that you take care of your hair as well. Especially in the case of curly hair, dry and brittle hair post Holi can cause severe breakage [1].
Holi Haircare Tips For Curly Hair
Hair that's naturally curly can be a pain to care for. Hair that is thick and curly is more prone to breakage and dryness than other hair types - and with Holi colours and playing outside in the sun, it is a nightmare for those with curly hair.
Pre-Holi Haircare Tips For Curly Hair
1. Invest in styling products
Consider investing in styling products that protect your hair as you style it. Preparing your hair with a moisturising serum enriched with vitamin E can be beneficial. In addition, look for products with sun protection factors (SPFs) to prevent the sun's harmful UV rays [2].
You should apply it to your hair from mid-lengths to ends. This creates a weightless shield that protects your hair from the harmful chemicals in the colour or any surface damage.
2. Avoid using oil
Even though it may be a common practice to oil your hair before playing Holi, experts advise against doing so! You should not use oil. Over-washing will make your hair even more brittle and will cause further damage.
In addition, powdered colour has a greater risk of mixing with oil and clogging the scalp pores [3].
Post- Holi Haircare Tips For Curly Hair
1. Don't use hot water
As a first step, rinse off the colour with cold water. Never use hot water to remove the colour because it will only solidify it. Instead, use a mild soap with cold water to help lift the colour away.
2. Use a damage-control shampoo
In order to repair the damage to your curly hair, you should choose a shampoo and conditioner that will repair the damage rather than cause further damage.
3. Use argan oil
There are many benefits to using argan oil for unmanageable and uncontrollable curls. It restores the smoothness of curls so they become more manageable. Argan oil nourishes dry curls with minerals and fatty acids [4].
4. Don't wash too much
Washing your curly hair repeatedly will strip off the moisture from your hair, leaving it brittle and more prone to breakage. This is because the repeated washing will strip away the natural oils from your hair, which are necessary for keeping your hair healthy, soft and moisturised.
5. Do a deep conditioning
A great, easy-to-do solution you can try at home is to cleanse your scalp and hair thoroughly with a repair remedy shampoo for curly hair, then gently towel dry it and apply the conditioner.
This helps to restore the natural balance of oils on your scalp, reduce the build-up of product residue, and add moisture to the hair strands. It also helps to detangle and protect the hair from damage, making it easier to style and manage [5].
For a quick fix deep conditioning, work the product from the ends to the mid-lengths of your hair and wrap it in a hot towel for ten minutes.
On A Final Note...
To avoid damage to curly hair from the holi colours, tie your hair in a braid. Choose from various braid styles, a stylish ponytail, or a trendy top knot.
