Holi 2025: Are you still playing Holi with those stubborn colours? Well, that’s definitely a fun way to celebrate the Festival of Colours, but wait—have you thought about how you’ll remove those colours from your hair without damaging it? Everyone knows that removing stubborn colour from your hair can feel like a challenging task, but with the right care, it’s easy to bring your hair back to life! Most Holi colours, especially chemical-based ones, tend to stick to your scalp and strands, making your hair feel dry and dull.
Moreover, you can use some natural and simple home remedies to get rid of those colours—like applying coconut oil or using an egg and aloe vera gel mask before washing your hair. These help loosen the colours and soothe the scalp. So here, we’ve listed some of the best and easiest ways to remove Holi colours from your hair naturally and effectively:
Apply Castor Oil
Did you know that applying castor oil to your hair before playing Holi can help provide your hair and scalp with a protective layer? It prevents the colours from penetrating deeply into your strands.
Lemon Hair Mask
One of the simplest yet highly effective hair masks for removing colour is the lemon hair mask. Take the juice of two lemons and apply it directly to your scalp. Massage it properly for 20 minutes, then wash with shampoo and conditioner.
Use Egg Yolk And Curd Mask
Another easy way to remove stubborn colour is by applying an egg yolk and curd mask. Take two egg yolks (adjust as per your hair length) and mix them with curd. Apply the mixture from root to tip, leave it on for 40 minutes, let it dry, and then rinse with normal water.
Vinegar And Milk Hair Mask
You can also use a vinegar and milk hair mask. Mix a small amount of vinegar with milk and apply the paste to your hair. Leave it on for 30 minutes, let it dry completely, and then wash it off with a conditioner for smoother hair.
