Holi Styling Tips
Choose easy-care fabrics: Cotton, linen, and rayon are breathable, washable, and safe for playing Holi.
Keep accessories waterproof: Avoid metal or delicate materials that can tarnish.
Go minimal with makeup: Think tinted lip balm, waterproof liner, and sunscreen.
Protect your hair: Apply serum or oil and go for simple hairstyles like buns, braids, or ponytails.
Wear older (but stylish) pieces if you’re expecting a full-colour play – and save your festive best for poojas or safe Holi brunches.
