Tips to Keep in Mind before and after applying mehendi:

There are some tips which should be kept in mind while bridal Mehendi is applied. These will ensure that the colour is richer and darker and stays for long:

  1. Avoid washing your hands with water after the mehendi has dried and removed. Water makes the colour lighter and lighter after every use.
  2. Apply vicks vaporub to the mehendi after it dries. Vicks produces heat which makes the colour richer.
  3. Avoid using creams and lotions on the hands before application of mehendi. Mehendi doesn’t stick properly to the skin if there is a cream or lotion applied.
  4. Waxing or shaving after the mehendi is applied makes the colour lighter. hair removal should be done 3-4 days prior to the Mehendi application so that the skin is not red or itchy when the mehendi is applied.
  5. Mehendi is best applied 1-2 days prior to the wedding. It gets the best colour after 1-2 days so by the time your wedding day is here, your mehendi is the darkest!
  6. Keep your mehendi overnight as longer duration of the mehendi gives a better colour.

So these were the tips to keep in mind on your mehendi day. Lets get to the best designs!
