The festival of Holi is full of colors, enthusiasm, and fun. On this day, everyone gets immersed in happiness by playing with gulal, pichkari, and watercolors. But after Holi, the biggest impact is on our hair and skin. Especially chemical colors, dust, and water can make hair dry, lifeless, and damaged. In such a situation, proper measures must be taken to protect the hair before Holi.
The best way to protect hair from Holi colors is to cover them properly and adopt a strong hairstyle. Many people wear scarves or caps, but if you want a stylish look and also want to keep your hair safe, then you can try some special hairstyles. These will not only give you a trendy look but will also help protect your hair from Holi colors.

Dutch braid – stronghold and stylish look
Dutch braid is a classic hairstyle, which keeps the hair tied tightly and protects it from direct contact with gulal and colors. This hairstyle gives a trendy and elegant look and lasts for a long time.
How to make it?
- First of all, divide the hair into two parts from the middle.
- Then divide each part into three parts and gradually make a braid towards the back.
- Tie the braid tightly and put a strong rubber band at the end so that the hair remains safe throughout the day.
High Bun – The Safest and Easiest Hairstyle
If you want the colors of Holi not to reach your hair, then a high bun is the best option. It not only keeps the hair completely safe but also gives a classy and elegant look.
How to make it?

- Then take all the hair upwards and make a high ponytail.
- Twist the ponytail and give it the shape of a bun.

Fishtail braid – traditional but stylish look
If you like the traditional braid style and want to try something different, then a fishtail braid is the best option. This hairstyle gives a stylish and beautiful look while keeping the hair safe.
How to make it?
- First, divide the hair into two equal parts.
- Take a little hair from each section and keep placing it on top of each other.

Special tips to protect hair before Holi
On Holi, it is not enough to adopt the right hairstyle, but some other important steps should also be adopted to protect the hair.
# Apply coconut or mustard oil to the hair
Applying oil forms a protective layer on the hair, due to which the colors do not stick easily. This also reduces damage to the hair and makes them easier to wash.

# Wash hair well and moisturize it beforehand
Wash hair thoroughly before Holi and apply conditioner. This will keep the moisture in the hair and they will be less damaged.
# Do mild shampoo and deep conditioning after Holi
Do not use very hard shampoo to remove Holi colors. Hair can be kept healthy with mild shampoo and deep conditioning.
