1. Oil your hair before playing with colours: Oiling your hair with coconut oil before playing with colours can create a protective barrier between your hair and the harsh chemicals present in the colours. It will also make your hair easier to clean post-celebrations. (utpal sarkar/ANI Photo)

2. Tie up your hair: Tying your hair in a bun or a braid can also prevent hair damage. It will help to keep the hair strands together while playing Holi, preventing them from getting tangled and reducing the exposure of hair to colours. (Photo by Raj K Raj/ Hindustan Times)
3. Cover your head with a scarf or a hat: If you don't want to colour your hair, then covering your head with a scarf or hat can be an effective option. It will not only protect your hair from unwanted colour but also protects your scalp from harmful UV rays. (Photo by Raj K Raj/ Hindustan Times)

4. Rinse your hair thoroughly: After playing Holi, make sure that you rinse your hair thoroughly to remove all the colours. Avoid using hot water as it can further damage your hair. Instead, use cold water or lukewarm water to wash your hair and remove the colours gently.(utpal sarkar/ANI Photo)
