•Holi colors contain lead, synthetic dyes, and artificial pigments, which are harsh chemicals that damage the hair's outer layer.
•These chemicals make hair dry, lifeless, tangled, rough, and prone to breakage, and can also harm the scalp.
•Scalp issues like itching, redness, irritation, swelling, and potential infection can occur if color remains on the head for long.
•Dr. Nidhi Rohatgi, Max Multi Speciality Hospital, Panchsheel Park, states that improper color removal often causes more damage than the colors themselves.
•Aggressive washing, hard rubbing, and strong shampoos deplete natural moisture, worsening dryness and irritation; avoid rubbing too hard.
