Its celebrated on the first full moon of the Hindu luni-solar calendar. People gather to play with coloured powders, flower petals, water balloons and water guns.

What to wear ?

Holi is a festival full of colours, white or light-coloured clothes are ideal, as they will showcase the vibrant hues of Holi colours. White is a very common colour for people to wear for this reason. The clothes that you don’t mind getting stained can also be worn.

Skin and Hair tips:

SKIN:

Get coconut oil, put it everywhere and put a lot on. Don’t forget your face and all the places where your clothes cover you. Not only will it make easier to wash the colours off later, but its crucial to protect your skin from any potential chemicals present in some synthetic colours. A waterproof sunscreen with a high SPF can be helpful for you since now-a-days the temperature of the surrounding has risen.

HAIR:

Coconut Oil, to shield your hair from the damage and absorbing colour, apply a generous amount of coconut oil beforehand. This will create a protective barrier and make it easier to wash out the colours later. Along with the oil, tie your hair up in a bun, plait or braid it to help prevent tangling and too much colour getting into your hair.

NAILS:

The holi colours get absolutely everywhere, including nails. To prevent colour from seeping into your nails and causing stubborn stains, apply a coat of nailpolish before playing holi. This will create a protective barrier and make it easier to clean your nails afterward.
