If you want to make the mehndi dark, let the mehndi stay on your hands for at least 6 to 8 hours or overnight. The longer the mehendi is applied, the darker its stain will be, and it will not come off easily.
Before applying mehendi, apply a little eucalyptus oil on your hands and spread it well. The amount of oil should not be too much. Oil helps to darken the color of the mehendi even more.
A mixture of lemon and sugar helps to darken the mhendi. After the mhendi dries, mix one spoon of lemon juice and one spoon of sugar. Apply this mixture on your hands with the help of cotton. This will help to get a dark color.
After applying mehendi, heat 4 to 5 cloves on a pan. Inhale its smoke on your hands. This will help the mehendi to color better.
Avoid soap, shampoo, or any chemical product immediately after washing off mhendi. Do not scrub or bleach the area. Once the mhendi is dry and the color has set, apply cream, lotion, or oil.
