Are you a bride-to-be? Every bride dreams of having a deeper and darker stain of mehndi for her wedding day. Tap to read the easy hacks to make your mehndi last longer.
Lemon and sugar
Soak a cotton ball in the mixture of lemon and sugar and gently dab it on the damp mehndi. This helps keep henna in place.
Mustard oil
Get rid of the dried mehndi on the hands and apply mustard or chilli oil for a darker hue of colour.
Apply clove smoke
Heat a few cloves on the stove and place your hands over the smoke for a darkening effect. The aromatic spice helps penetrate a darker shade into the skin.
Use vicks
Scrape off the extra dried mehndi on your hands and apply Vicks Balm. Keep it overnight for a darker shade of colour.
Brewed Tea or coffee
Combine tea or coffee powder with water and rub this liquid on your hands. This helps give a natural pigment and darken the shade of mehndi.
Avoid contact with water
Avoid washing your hands immediately. Cover your mendi with an old sock to trap the heat. Keep it overnight to intensify the mehndi stain.
