Mehndi Applying Tips: Often, we use the most expensive brands of henna, but the color still doesn't turn out deep. This could be due to your skin type, the method of application, or the aftercare. The good news is that by adopting some simple, home-made tips, you can make your henna color dark, shiny, and long-lasting.

If henna doesn't color on your hands or comes out lighter every time, this article can prove to be very beneficial for you. By following the tips provided here, your henna will turn out perfectly dark, and everyone will admire your hands.

Don't Apply Mehndi on Dirty Hands

Whenever you're going to apply henna, wash your hands thoroughly first. Remove dirt and oil from your hands with soap so that the henna adheres properly to the skin. Applying henna on dirty hands will cause the color to fade.

Apply This Oil

Apply Eucalyptus Oil before applying henna to your hands. This oil helps darken the henna on your hands. That's why many mehndi artists apply this oil to their hands before applying beautiful mehndi.

Lemon-Sugar Solution

When the mehndi has slightly dried, apply a lemon and sugar solution to your hands with a cotton ball. This will help the mehndi stick to your hands for a longer period of time. Just be sure to let it dry completely while applying it; otherwise, the mehndi design will be ruined.

Clove Steam

Once the mehndi has dried, steam your hands with cloves on a pan. This method will also thicken your mehndi instantly. While steaming the cloves, be sure to keep your hands at a distance, as they could burn your hands.

Apply Mustard Oil

After leaving the mehndi on your hands overnight or for at least 8 hours, remove it and then apply mustard oil to your hands. This will deepen the color of your mehndi.
