Gulaal, Gujiyas & Glam: How To Slay Holi 2025 In Style
March is all about the fresh, cool summer breeze after winter and a splash of colours, thanks to Holi! Amidst such festivity, there are always two types of people. The excited ones like me enjoy getting smeared with vibrant colours, and the ones who lock themselves in the bedroom fear all that damage these colours will do to their skin, hair, and nails. If you are someone who loves playing holi but is worried about the stubborn colours that can do damage, we have brought some nice at-home tips & tricks. You can refer to these for a vibrant yet safe holi.
Holi isn’t all about wearing plain Jane whites
Go the traditional way with a modern twist; wear a white kurta with denim shorts or jeans. White is the perfect canvas for holi, as it just makes every colour pop! If, by chance, you get drenched in water, don’t forget to carry a dupatta or scarf to avoid any embarrassing situations. Holi is all about dancing and moving to and fro; hence, wearing flats is always better than heels. After all, you wouldn’t want to sprain your legs.
Here’s a little underfashion tip as well. Since you will be going all white, make sure you wear a nude coloured bra because a white bra under a white kurta is only going to make it all the more visible. Pick a padded bra over a non-padded one for no-headlight show. If you don’t mind, you can also just go with the flow and show-off bright coloured padded bras under a white shirt!
Wake-up and make-up
Before stepping out to play holi, we often avoid make-up; after all, who is going to see it behind the colour-smeared face? But wait, what is the harm in applying a little make-up to look glam? After all looking beautiful never hurts! Moreover, this protects your skin from direct contact with colours. Don’t forget to coat your ears and neck with moisturizer as they get really stubborn holi stains.
You can also go all chic and bold by trying colourful holi shades on your eyes- they are totally in this season. Remember to moisturize your lips & coat them with petroleum jelly to avoid direct contact with colour or swipe a fuchsia pink lipstick to add a dash of hue.
Holi hairstyles are called “I Tried”
Just like skin, hair is also at the verge of getting spoiled because of harsh colours. Hence, oiling is always the best option to keep your hair safe. But we know what exactly you are thinking about! You have two options here! Either tie your hair in a nice messy bun and then style it with a bandana or a stylish sports cap! Or on the day of the festival, you can wash your hair with mild shampoo and leave in conditioner that will make your scalp and roots soft. Dry hair is likely to attract more dirt and colour, which will not be the case with this quick pre-holi shower routine!
Right on your fingertips
Holi colours leave very ugly and stubborn stains on nails. To avoid that, coat your nails with a transparent nail polish. Or else, dip each nail in a different colour and go full-on with colours this Holi! You can also take inspiration from some cool nail art styles to further enhance your party look. Applying a layer of paint on your nails protects them from damage and ugly stains. If you don’t want to colour your nails, then you can apply some coconut oil on the cuticles and sides. This will help to wipe off the holi stains easily.
Once you are done with playing holi, get a few mins and stand under the sun. Before you get into the shower, you can take some wet wipes and gently scrub your skin to get rid of colours that can be easily be removed. You can try some homemade face and hair masks to restore the nourishment of the skin. Mix gram flour and milk in equal proportions, This scrub is the easiest way to remove chemical colours, grime and dirt off your body. Milk and honey mask will help you regain strength and shine for your hair. Make sure you don’t scrub your skin harshly because it might damage your skin further. Deeply condition your skin, hair and nails.
That’s all for now! With these quick, easy hacks, you can get all coloured and play Holi without having to worry about your skin, hair and nails. Don’t wait and just get yourself smeared in the vibrant colours and have a gala time with your friends and family!
