How to make Green Natural Holi Colour |
| Dry Colour: |
| Use mehendi / henna powder, singly or mix with the same quantity of any proper flour to get a lovely green shade. |
Make use only pure mehendi and not the one mixed with amla (meant to be applied to in hair) as this would be brown in colour. Dry mehendi will not leave colour on your face as it can be brushed off without difficulty. Only when it is a paste (i.e. it is mixed in water) will it leave a minor colour on your face. so, it can be used as a pucca / fast colour. |
generally people like colouring other person's hair. How about doing it with mehendi powder and save a outing to the parlour? |
|
Other methods |
Dry and finely powder the leaves of Gulmohur (Delonix regia) tree for a green colour.
mash the tender leaves of the Wheat plant to find a natural safe green Holi colour. |
Wet colour: |
- Mix two teaspoons of mehendi in one litre of water. mix well.
- Green colour can also be obtained by mixing a fine paste of leaves like spinach / palak, coriander / dhaniya, mint / pudina, tomato leaves, etc. in water.
