1. Natural home remedies

 Yoghurt

A mixture of yoghurt and egg can be really helpful in removing Holi colour from hair. Mix two-three tablespoons of plain yoghurt with one beaten egg. Apply the mixture to your hair and scalp, and leave it on for 30-45 minutes. Rinse off with water and shampoo as usual.

 Fenugreek seeds

Fenugreek seeds can help by their ability to hydrate the scalp, remove impurities and soothe irritation. But this is not an instant solution, and you will have to wait for the next morning. Soak two-three tablespoons of fenugreek seeds in water overnight. Grind the soaked seeds into a fine paste the next morning. Apply it to your hair and scalp, and massaging it gently. Leave the paste on for 30-45 minutes. Rinse off the paste with shampoo.

 Lemon juice

Lemon juice is a natural bleaching agent, so squeeze the juice of one lemon and mix it with two-three tablespoons of coconut oil. Apply the mixture to your hair and scalp, leave it on for 30 minutes, and then shampoo.

Baking soda

Baking soda is also a natural exfoliant and can help remove Holi colour from hair. Mix one or two tablespoons of baking soda with water to form a paste. Apply it to your hair and scalp, leave it on for sometime, and rinse it off.

2. Over-the-counter products

 Shampoos & conditioners

A clarifying shampoo, such as Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo, can help remove Holi colours from hair. These shampoos contain stronger cleansing agents than regular shampoos, which can help break down and remove the colour. However, clarifying shampoos can be drying, so it is important to follow up with a deep conditioner.

You can also make your own hair mask using ingredients available at home. An aloe vera mask, yoghurt mask or even an egg mask is highly recommended.

 Hair oils iDiva recommends: Black Charm Hair Oil (INR 1,049)

Most of us use hair oils before washing, but for this one time, try using one after washing as well and go for another hair wash the next day. The massage would help in blood circulation and would keep your hair nourished. Choose a hair oil that works for your hair type and condition.

Black Charm hair oil by Secret Hair Care can be applied before stepping out as well as for post Holi hair care. Various ingredients, such as coconut oil, curry leaves, brahmi and bhringraj, not only help control hair fall and dandruff, but also aid in nourishing dry scalp and hair growth.

To summarise it for you all, remember that while it’s important to carry out all these measures to restore your skin and hair health, a lot of the damage can be avoided if you take proper precautions before stepping into the Holi arena. Wearing protective clothing, including full-sleeved tops and full-length bottoms is one. Make sure your eyes don’t come in contact with any kind of colours, mixtures or sprays being used during the celebrations. Most importantly, stay safe and if you have to use a vehicle, don’t overspeed. Happy Holi, everyone!
