Holi 2026: The festival of colors is full of fun, dance and selfies, but after this, if the skin becomes dry and hair becomes dry, then all the fun gets spoiled. Chemical colours, strong sunlight and long hours of running around can affect the skin and hair. In such a situation, it is important to make proper preparations before playing Holi, so that colors are added but no harm is done.

If you also have questions in your mind about what to apply, what not to apply, how to save hair, whether sunscreen is necessary or not, then there is no need to panic. These special FAQs will remove all your confusions.

1. Question: What should be applied on the skin before Holi?

answer: If you want that colors do not damage your skin, then you should take skin care before playing Holi. Apply good amount of moisturizer on face, neck and hands and feet 20-30 minutes before playing Holi. Apply a little coconut or almond oil on it. This will create a protective layer on the skin and the color will not absorb directly into the skin. Also, by using all these things the color will come off easily.

2. Question: Is sunscreen also necessary?

answer: Often people do not apply sunscreen on the day of Holi, but this is a wrong habit. Holi is mostly played in sunlight. That means color and sunlight together damage the skin doubly. Therefore, before playing Holi on this day, apply sunscreen of SPF 30 or more, especially if you are going to be outside for a long time. This can also prevent tanning and sunburn.

3. Question: How to take care of hair?

answer: Holi colors also affect hair. Color increases dryness of hair. In such a situation, before Holi, you should apply oil to your hair properly. Coconut or olive oil is best for hair. After this make a tight braid or bun. Color gets stuck more in open hair and becomes difficult to remove later. By applying oil, the color will not reach the roots of the hair and the hair will not become dry.

4. Question: How to protect nails from getting colored?

answer: Even nails get damaged due to Holi colors. The nails get colored. In such a situation, apply dark nail paint on the nails. Due to this the color will not go directly on the nails. Also, apply a little Vaseline on the cuticles. This will make it easier to clean the color later.
