For diet &gt;&gt; Since consumption of sweets during Holi is common, ensure you have lots of salads so that it will keep you healthy and curb your appetite.
&gt;&gt; Drink a minimum of eight glasses of water to keep hydrated.
&gt;&gt; Do not neglect your exercise routine. Keep it steady so that you can burn those extra calories.

For hair &gt;&gt; Mix one tablespoon coconut oil with one teaspoon castor oil. Heat and apply on hair. Dip a towel in hot water, squeeze out the water and wrap the towel around the head like a turban. Keep it on for five minutes. Repeat the hot towel wrap 3-4 times. It helps the hair and scalp absorb the oil better. Wash your hair after an hour.
&gt;&gt; Conditioning with henna helps restore the shine of the hair. To henna powder, add four teaspoons of lemon juice and coffee, two eggs and curd to mix into a paste. Apply and wash your hair after an hour.
&gt;&gt; The day after Holi, mix two tablespoons of honey with half a cup of curd. Add a pinch of turmeric. Apply on face, neck and arms. Leave it on for 20 minutes; wash off with water to soften skin and remove tan. &mdash; Shahnaz Hussain, beauty expert
