Tips to Make Mehendi Dark
1. Choose Fresh Mehendi
Fresh henna powder works best. Avoid old or pre-mixed mehendi that may be weak in color.
2. Clean Hands Before Application
Wash hands thoroughly to remove oils, dirt, or lotions. Oil-free skin allows mehendi to stain better.
3. Apply Lemon-Sugar Mixture
Once the mehendi dries a bit, dab a mixture of lemon juice and sugar on the design. This helps the henna paste stick longer and release deeper color.
4. Keep Mehendi On for Long Hours
Leave mehendi on for at least 6–8 hours, or overnight if possible. The longer it stays, the darker the stain.
5. Keep Warm
Warmth helps release henna’s dye. You can wrap your hands in a cloth or sit in a warm place while the mehendi sets.
6. Avoid Water Immediately
After removing dried mehendi, avoid washing hands with water for 6–8 hours. Scrape it off gently instead of washing.
7. Apply Natural Oils
After scraping mehendi, apply coconut oil, mustard oil, or olive oil to protect the color and enhance its depth.
8. Avoid Soap for First Day
Try not to use soap or handwash too much in the first 24 hours; it can reduce the intensity of the stain.
