10 Tips to Make Mehndi Darker Overnight
Wash before applying
Clean hands make for a darker stain.
Apply eucalyptus oil
Eucalyptus oil helps the henna paste to adhere to the skin and darken the stain.
Let your mehendi dry naturally
Air drying will help the henna to oxidize and darken.
Invest the hours
The longer you leave the henna on, the darker the stain will be.
Smoke it
Smoke helps to develop the colour of the henna.
Lemon and sugar
A mixture of lemon juice and sugar can help to darken the henna stain and make it last longer.
Vicks to the rescue
VapoRub contains menthol, which can help to darken the henna stain.
Stay away from water
Avoid water contact until the henna has completely dried and set.
No beauty treatments
Avoid using any harsh chemicals or products on your hands until the henna has faded.
