Mehndi Tips:

Wash the area to be decorated with a good soap and water.

Mehndi should be kept for around 3 hours till it is fully dry.

Apply a mixture of lemon and sugar to the dry area.

Scrape off the dry Mehndi and do not wash it with water for at least 12 hours, to ensure maximum color.

After the tattoos are dried completely get some steam passing through cloves over the gas and apply Vicks for a good darkened color. A deep color may last up to two to three weeks. The coloration varies from person to person.

When the Mehndi starts fading and appears patchy, it can be removed by applying cosmetic body bleach.
