Use coconut oil to get rid of colours naturally as it is gentle and hydrating and suits all skin types. For your skin, gently massage your face, hands and legs with coconut oil and rinse off it with cold water or mild body wash after few minutes. For your hair, use coconut oil to cleanse your scalp and hair, wash off with your regular shampoo and condition.

You can also use sesame seed oil to remove colours by massaging it on face and body. This is because sesame oil not only helps to remove the colours from the skin and hair but also protects the skin from the after effects of Holi colours. Moreover, it also retains the moisture in the skin and gives a natural glow.

Beer can also be used as a last rinse to soften and condition the hair. This is post hair and scalp treatment, hence apply it after getting rid of colours and chemicals.
