Make sure never to use hot water as it will solidify the colour. An hour prior to playing holi, apply cold cream on your skin and coconut oil to your hair as it will help to facilitate a protective layer from the colours, making it easier to rinse away later.
2. Hair Treatment

For your hair, applying egg yolk or curd and leaving it for about 45 minutes before using a mild shampoo is also an effective method to rid your hair of holi colour and its damaging chemicals.
3. Hair Treatment The Following Day

Using coconut oil on the face before soap also aids in removing the colour, as does the rubbing of lemon wedges on the skin with oil and wheat flour mixture.
6. Washing The Face

Ubtan is also helpful for this, along with hour-long pre-soaked Multhani Mitti. When the pack dries, rinse it off to remove the colour.

A cleanser that has lemon and aloe vera in it is also highly potent to remove colour. Even Cetaphil cleansers and antiseptic cream application are capable of this.
