New Delhi: The festival of Holi, which marks the advent of spring in India and is celebrated with coloured powders and splashing water, is just around the corner. 

But amidst all the enthusiasm, one can't forget that our hair can become dull and lifeless by the blatant use of artificial colours made with the help of chemical solvents and toxic agents.

Why is hair care important?
