But as a mom if you are dreading the task of removing Holi colours from your little one’s skin and hair after the Holi fun, here are some useful tips. A little prep in advance can go a long way in avoiding the post-party battle with stubborn colours.
Here are some tips
- Apply a dark coloured nail paint the night before, it will help prevent the colour from catching on to their nails
- Keep the hair oiled using a mixture of jojoba and coconut oil -this will work as a natural greasy shield against the holi colours Make sure you tie their hair neatly in a plait.
- Apply Vaseline generously over their lips.
- Soak their fingers in a mixture of castor oil and coconut oil. If you don’t have these, apply Vaseline. This will protect their cuticles from getting coloured.
- Apply sunscreen, followed with a layer of coconut oil on all the body parts which are going to get exposed to colours like face, ear, neck, hands and legs .
- Make a paste of gram flour, curd, honey, and curd. Use this paste to scrub their face and body. Rinse it off with cold water. This will help wash off the colour
