Ways to Make Your Mehendi Darker

Dec10,2024

Dab a mixture of lemon juice and sugar on your mehendi once it dries to lock in moisture and deepen the color.

Apply Lemon and Sugar Mixture

Leave your mehendi on for at least 8-12 hours to let the dye seep into your skin for a richer color.

Keep Mehendi On for Longer  

Use a plastic wrap or medical tape to cover the mehendi after it dries. This keeps it warm and intensifies the color.

Wrap Your Mehendi

Resist the urge to wash your mehendi with water right after scraping it off. Instead, gently rub it off.

Avoid Washing with Water Immediately  

Hold your hands over the fumes of heated cloves for a few minutes. The heat helps enhance the stain.

Apply Clove Fumes  

Massage your hands with eucalyptus oil before applying mehendi to prepare your skin and amplify the results.

Use Eucalyptus Oil Before Application

After removing the mehendi, apply balms like Vicks or Tiger Balm to darken the color.

Apply Balm After Scraping Off  

Stay away from soap and other chemicals for the first 24 hours to let the color set.

Avoid Soap for 24 Hours

Use high-quality, natural henna as chemical-based ones might not give a deep stain

Opt for Natural Mehendi
