Mehendi

Tips

[Top]

Do's

• Wash the area to be decorated with a good soap (one with a mud base) and water.
• Mehendi should be kept for 2-3 hours till it is fully dry.
• Scrape off the dry Mehendi and do not wash it with water for atleast 24 hours, to ensure maximum colour.
• Apply a mixture of lemon and sugar, atleast twice, to the dry area.
• After the tattoos are dried completely get some steam passing through cloves over the gas and apply Vicks for a good darkened color.
• When the Mehendi starts fading and appears patchy, it can be removed by applying cosmetic body bleach.

Dont's

• Do not use an oily soap as this can prevent the color from setting properly
• After the tattoos are applied avoid washing the area with soap or water
• Avoid staying close to the air conditioner as it dries up the mehendi
