However, the aftermath of the festival can be a nightmare for many, as they struggle to remove the stubborn colors from their hair and skin. In this how-to article, I will discuss the best methods to get holi powder out of hair.

5 Steps for Removing Holi Powder From Your Hair

Step 1: Don’t let it dry

The first thing you should do when you have holi powder in your hair is to not let it dry. If you allow the powder to dry in your hair, it will become difficult to remove it later. The longer the powder stays in your hair, the more challenging it will be to get it out. So, try to remove the color as soon as possible after playing Holi to avoid any further complication.

Step 2: Rinse your hair

Rinse your hair with water immediately after playing Holi. If the colors are not too dark, just washing with regular water may take care of it. Use lukewarm water to rinse your hair, which would help to loosen the color particles from your hair. Gently massage your scalp with your fingers while rinsing.

Step 3: Use a mild shampoo

If the hair color is too stubborn, you may need to wash your hair with a mild shampoo. Choose a shampoo that is gentle and formulated for color-treated hair. Apply a generous amount of shampoo to your hair and massage it gently. Rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Step 4: Use a hair mask

If the color still does not come out after washing your hair with a mild shampoo, it’s time to go for a hair mask. A hair mask can help to loosen the color pigments, making it easier to remove them. You can use a ready-made hair mask or make one at home. I’m sharing the DIY hair mask that I make, down below.

Step 5: Don’t use hot water or blow dryer

Avoid using hot water or blow dryer on your hair, as they can further damage your hair and make the color more stubborn. Use lukewarm or cool water to rinse your hair, and let your hair air dry naturally.
