Want your mehndi to pop? We've got the insider tips for a rich, dark stain! From pre-application prep to post-care, master the art of beautiful mehndi,
just for you!
Prep is Key!
Before applying mehndi, ensure clean, oil-free skin. This helps the dye adhere better. Avoid using lotions or oils beforehand. Exfoliate the area gently to remove dead skin cells for smoother application. This ensures the design looks even and vibrant. Make sure to wash the area before applying.
Apply with Care
Apply a thick layer of mehndi. The thicker the layer, the darker the stain. Avoid smudging while applying. Let the mehndi dry naturally, avoiding direct heat. Use a toothpick or similar tool to remove any excess paste and ensure even application. Let the mehndi dry properly before moving onto the next steps.
The Drying Process
Once dry, avoid water. This prevents the mehndi from fading or smudging. Allow for at least 2 hours of drying time, ideally longer. Keep the mehndi on your skin for as long as possible for deeper colours. This step ensures that your design will be darker, enhancing the beauty of the pattern.
Aftercare Rituals
Once the mehndi is dry, gently remove it, avoiding harsh scrubbing. Apply a balm or oil after removal. Avoid soap and water for the first 24 hours. Keep the applied area away from prolonged water exposure. This ensures the stain sets and lasts longer, giving your skin a richer, darker hue.
