Eid al-Fitr will be celebrated on April 10 or 11 this year, depending on the sighting of the moon.
Eid festivities are incomplete without applying mehendi. Here are some easy tricks to get darker mehendi.
Use sugar and lemon
Mix lemon juice and sugar and apply it to the henna with cotton. Not only will your mehndi stick to your hands for a longer time, but also will improve its colour.
Try cloves
You can also use cloves to darken the mehendi's stain. For this, bake 3-4 cloves and crush them. Now mix it into your regular henna paste.
Apply mustard oil
To make the henna dark, it is better to remove it with mustard oil. Instead of mustard oil, you can also use eucalyptus oil.
Avoid water
After applying henna, try to keep your hands away from water. Do not touch the water for at least 5-6 hours as it will make the colour lighter.
