Here are some tips that you should include in your self-care for keeping your nails healthy.

· Trim nails regularly:
Trim your nails regularly with sharp clipper and it is better to file your nails round from the corner for maximum strength. This will help avoiding ingrown nails. Don’t forget to cut and file toe nails, this will avoid injury. Best time to cut and file nails is right after bath as nails are much softer after bath.
· Use nail serum or nail oils:
Keeping nails moisturised is very important, this will not only strengthen nails but also repair damaged nails. There are many nail serums available in market, apart from that applying almond oil, olive oil , coconut oil or avocado oil can also be helpful.
Instructions to be followed when going to Gym
जिम में त्वचा के संक्रमण(infection ) को रोकने में मदद के लिए त्वचा विशेषज्ञ निम्नलिखित युक्तियों की सलाह देते हैं:
ढीले-ढाले, नमी सोखने वाले कपड़े पहनें। यह आपकी त्वचा को खुष्क रखने में मदद करेगा और कीटाणुओं को बढ़ने से रोकेगा। अपने जिम के कपड़े पहनने के बाद उन्हें धोना न भूलें।
हमेशा जूते पहनें, खासकर पूल के आसपास और लॉकर रूम और शावर में। अपने जिम बैग में शॉवर शूज, फ्लिप-फ्लॉप या सैंडल की एक जोड़ी रखें। पब्लिक जिम में कभी भी नंगे पैर न चलें।
किसी भी कट को साफ और ढक कर रखें। जब तक आपका घाव ठीक नहीं हो जाता तब तक सौना, स्टीम रूम और हॉट टब के इस्तेमाल से बचें।
उपयोग करने से पहले और बाद में उपकरणों को कीटाणुरहित करें। कीटाणुनाशक वाइप्स या स्प्रे से उपकरण साफ करें। अतिरिक्त सुरक्षा के लिए आपकी त्वचा और साझा सतहों के बीच एक बाधा जोड़ने पर विचार करें, जैसे कि एक तौलिया, जैसे कसरत बेंच और साइकिल सीट। जब योगा मैट जैसे अपने खुद के उपकरण मुहैया कराना संभव हो, तो जिम का इस्तेमाल करने के बजाय इसे घर से लाएं।
होली के बाद बालों की देखभाल के दिशा निर्देश:
अपने बालों से जितना हो सके रंग झाड़ ले जब तक रंग सूखा हो तब तक उसे हटाना आसान है | नहाने से पहले किसी पुराने तौलिये या नैपकिन से जितना हो सके रंग झाड़ ले
ठंडे पानी से धोऐ
अपने बालों को ठंडे पानी से धोएं | ऐसा करने से रंग आसनी से निकल जाता है इसके पशचात बालो को साफ करने के लिया मंद केसमार्जक (शैम्पू ) mild shampoo का प्रयोग करें |
कंडीशनर की मोटी परत लगाएं
जब आपने अपने बालो से रंग को अच्छे से धो दिया हो, तब अपने बालो मे ऊपर से नीचे तक गहना कंडिशनर की मोटी परत लगाएं
पर्याप्त मात्रा में पानी पिएं
होली के दौरान पानी पीना बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है | क्योकि होली मे हम रंगो से खेलते वक्त ज्यादा तर समय धूप मे बिताते है, इसलिए हमारे शरीर को नम रहना जरूरी है | इस समय आपको अत्यधिक पानी पीना चाहिए अन्यथा थका हुआ और कमज़ोर महसूस करेंगे |
होली के पूर्व बालो की देखभाल के लिए दिशानिर्देश:
होली खेलने जाने से ठीक पहले , अपने सर की त्वचा पर अपने पसंदीदा तेल के साथ मालिश कीजिए जैसे की नारियल का तेल, जैतून का तेल या फिर बादाम का तेल | यह प्रक्रिया आपने बालो को रसायन से होने वाली हानि से बचाता है एवं आपके सर की त्वचा को पोषित करता है |
दोमुहे बालो को काट दीजिये
होली के रंगो मे रंगने से कुछ दिन पहले अपने दोमुहे बालो को काट ले | होली के रंग आपके बालों के सिरों को क्षतिग्रस्त कर देते है, जिससे आपके दोमुहे बाल और ज्यादा विभाजित हो जाता है |
अपने बालो को ढक कर या फिर बाँध कर रखे
अपने बालो को टूटने से बचाने के लिए चोटी बनाना सुनिशिचत करें | यदि आप यह नही करना चाहते, तो अपने बालों को केवल किसी सूती दुपटे से लपेट लीजिये |

POST HOLI HAIR CARE TIPS:
Dust off color as much colour as you can
It is easier to remove the colour while it is still dry. Take old towels,
napkins and try to dust off as much of it as you can before getting
into the shower and getting wet.
Wash with cold water
Wash your hair with cold water as it removes the colours easily.
Then use a mild shampoo to cleanse the hair.
Apply thick layer of conditioner
Once you have washed off the colour from your hair, apply a thick
layer of intense conditioner all over the length of your hair.
Remain hydrated
Drinking water is vital during Holi. Since, we spend most of the time
under the sun while playing with colour, so our body needs to
remain hydrated. You should drink lots of water otherwise you will
feel tired and exhausted
PRE HOLI HAIR CARE TIPS:
Begin with a oil massage
Massade your scalp with any oil of your choice, like coconut, almond, or olive oil right before you go to play Holi. This protects your hair from getting damaged from the harsh chemicals and nourishes your scalp.
Chop off the split ends
A couple of days before you douse yourself in colour, get rid of your split ends. Holi colours leaves you with damaged ends, causing your hair to split way more than usual.
Always cover or tie your hair
Make sure to braid your hair te prevent breakage. If you really want to go the extra mile, simply wrap your hair up in a cotton scarf or cover it with a hat.
