Prepare yourself

Before applying mehendi wash your hands with soap. Do wear something comfortable because you’ve to sit and wait long for the mehendi application to be completed. It is always best to do the Mehendi during night so that it can get some time to dry and in the mean time you can get some sleep.

Long-lasting Mehendi

If you want a long-lasting mehendi and proper color, let the art-work dry first. Then just squeeze some lemon in a bowl and add some powdered sugar to it. Stair until the sugar melts. Apply the solution to the area of mehendi with the help of a cotton. Let it dry. Again repeat the procedure, then leave it for at least 2 hours or more if you can. Slowly rub the area of application so that the dried mehendi comes off, don’t use water. After clearing  the surfaces apply mastered oil on it. Try to avoid water for a while. This will definitely help you bring a deep and a long lasting Mehendi.

Avoid shaving

Avoid shaving or waxing your arms or legs after the mehendi application. Do all your pedicures, manicures, waxing, shavings and other beauty treatments at least one week before the mehendi ceremony.  Just apply a single coat of moisturizer at least 2 or 3 hours before the art-work starts.

Maintenance

Try to get your mehendi done at least 48 hours before the d-day to get the best results and let it take time to dry. But if you are in a hurry to dry it, here is a tip: heat some cloves over a frying pan and run your hands over the steam it helps to dry faster.

Alternatives

If you think mehendi is too main stream we suggest you go for the simple but elegant “alta” design.
