HOLI SPECIAL! Vidya Balan Reveals Her Secrets For Hair Care

Bollywood actress Vidya Balan, known for her luscious hair, says she takes extra care — especially on festivals like Holi — of her mane.

Of her beauty rituals, childhood memories and more on Holi, Vidya said in a statement:

Beauty regime: I don’t leave my house without massaging a coconut-based hair oil onto my skin. I honestly feel that this is the most natural way to keep harmful colours away. Not just that, colours come off easy and the coconut-based oil protects my skin from sun rays when I step outside.

Fondest childhood memory of Holi: Even before the main day, all the kids in my neighbourhood would start throwing balloons at each other after school. The night before Holi, my father would painstakingly fill the balloons so we could run out with buckets full of balloons the next morning.

Fondest One Holi treat that makes her mouth water: While most people eat ‘gujiyas’ for Holi, my sister Priya would drive up to Sattu’s in Sindhi Camp (Chembur) and get ‘Imarti’. I grew up eating them every year during Holi and now the festival is incomplete without it. It has become a ritual to gorge on them. When you are fully wet and unrecognisable, it tastes the best.
