Tips for darker mehendi (mehndi) on your hands:
Long hours to dry: Give henna enough time to dry. If possible, apply at night so that it gets maximum hours. This will not only make your mehendi darker but it will also sustain for a long time.
Don't touch water: Do not do household work and keep your hands away from water as much as possible. Even after scrapping the crust, do not touch water for at least an hour.
Lemon sugar mixture: Dabbing lemon-sugar mixture on dry mehendi can do miracle. For this, boil some sugar in water, allow it to cool and then squeeze few drops of lemon juice in it. Apply it with cotton.
Clove fume: Running your hands over clove fume can also help in deep penetration of colour. After dabbing lemon sugar mixture, heat cloves on tawa and let the fume dry your hands.
