Here's how to get rid of Holi colours from your beard

All through this year, you have put forward maximum style, thanks to your beard. Your first date has been an evening loaded with complements when the girl has congratulated you for looking good. As you have shelved off your long coat and planning to revamp your wardrobe with summer colours, a dreadful festival is here. For others, Holi is the celebration of colours. But for you, whose pride rests upon a manicured beard, it isn’t so easy to play Holi and get rid of colours from the mane.

You may be thinking to stay off the colours to save your beard. Fret not because we are here to sort you out. Here’s everything you need to do to get rid of colours.

Before you go to play

Use oil
Apply a generous amount of coconut or castor oil on your beard as this prevents colours from sticking and setting into the hair follicles. Alternatively you could simply use a good quality beard oil as well. The oil enables you to get rid of the colours with minimal fuss.

Use moisturize
As an alternative to castor oil, use loads of moisturiser or sunscreen on your beard as this will not just keep it hydrated, but will also make sure that the colour doesn’t set and is easier to wash off.

Take a shower
Ensure that you take a cold shower with a soap containing either activated charcoal or essential oils before playing with colours. This ensures that your skin and facial hair remains moist, not allowing the colour to settle, thus making it easier to wash off.

After playing Holi

Wash
The minute you step into the home, after your colourful session, wash your beard with cold water and a good quality beard wash. Any delay and the colour will begin to set, making it difficult to wash off.

Use Multani Mitti
Use natural remedies like a multani mitti pack. This clay based complex will dry out the colour and help you get rid of it almost instantly. Simply mix a teaspoon of multani mitti with water and make a paste. Let it settle for a bit and apply liberally.

Use lemon
Another guaranteed way of getting out the smut and colour from your beard is to use an astringent like lemon. A few drops of lemon juice, using a beard oil with lemon oil in it, or rubbing a slice of lemon wedge along your beard will weaken the colour molecules and make it simpler for you to get rid of them.

Use charcoal
Another excellent way of getting rid of holi colours is activated charcoal. A bath soap with activated charcoal will rid your facial fuzz of any residual colours.

Use each one of these simple tips to have a fun holi, without the headache of a coloured beard!
