Every bride dreams of having the perfect, deep henna stain for her mehendi ceremony. Here are 7 easy hacks to make your mehendi colour darker and last longer this wedding season.
The quality of your henna powder significantly affects the colour. Always opt for fresh, high-quality henna that is rich in natural dyes for a darker and more vibrant stain.
Once your mehendi dries, apply a mixture of sugar and lemon juice to your designs. This helps the henna to set better and deepens the colour, giving you a rich, dark stain.
The longer you leave the mehendi on, the darker the colour will be. Try to keep it on for at least 2-3 hours, or even overnight if possible, for the deepest stain.
Keep the mehendi paste away from water for as long as possible. Try not to wash your hands or feet immediately after application.
Once the mehendi has dried, wrap your hands and feet with tissue. This helps trap heat, which intensifies the stain and allows the henna to work its magic.
Clove smoke is a great natural hack for enhancing the mehendi colour. Gently heat a few cloves on a pan and let the smoke from the cloves reach your henna designs to boost the staining process.
