Dr. Arijit Ray, Dermatologist, Dr. Paul’s (8670641068) gives a few necessary and easy precautionary measures to protect your skin and hair pre and post Holi:
 
Hair Care for Holi
 
A coconut based hair oil massage for your hair before you go out to play Holi is an absolute must. Applying coconut based hair oil to your hair acts as a barrier and prevents colors from coming in direct contact with hair and in this way it will lessen the damage.
Coconut oil achieves up to 90 percent hair penetration right through to the cortex, thus forming a protective layer around your hair, preventing it from the adverse effects of not only color, but heat and dirt, because the molecules are arranged in a linear fashion and light chained. Therefore, it can pass through the outer cuticle.
Since coconut oil is very light, a single wash with shampoo will remove the unwanted extra grease, unlike other oils which may require multiple shampooing and thus resulting in dry hair.
Wear a hair-band/scarf or a bandana around your head to protect your hair from getting tangled or damaged due to artificial color.
Wash your hair with plain water so that most of the color comes off. Follow it with a mild shampoo. Despite washing the hair, there is a possibility for the color to remain on the scalp. But do not panic, it may take a day or so to fade away. In such situations, be careful not to wash your hair twice on the same day, it can cause your hair to become drier. If you feel your hair is becoming dry, massage your hair strands and roots with coconut oil regularly before shampooing your hair.
Preferably, tie up your hair while playing Holi. Open hair tends to tangle and damage your hair even more. You can don a fashionable side braid or a side ponytail.
Post Holi one can avail Laser Hair Damage Control Therapy followed by sessions of Meso therapy feed hail with multivitamins from Dr Paul’s.
 

Skin Care for Holi
 
Do not forget to moisturize your skin well before you set out to play Holi. This will help in removing the color from your skin more easily. Natural ingredient based moisturizers like coconut based moisturizers are good for your skin / Once can also apply Almond oil
Do not just moisturize your face; moisturizing your entire body is important.
Before bathing, take some curd and small grain brown sugar, mix and scrub the entire face and body.
Quick bath post Holi is important so that the colors can get off your skin easily. Post bath moisturization is important to keep your skin soft and supple.
Since your skin is already exposed to the chemicals from colors make sure you do not bathe in too hot water. Don't irritate your skin more.
Do not forget to apply sunscreen SPF 30 before you step out to play Holi. It’s hot summers out there and Sunscreen must be applied all over the exposed parts of the body.
