Clean You’re Hands

Always clean your hands and feet before getting the Mehandi applied. Once all the dirt and grime is removed, the Mehandi paste will be able to get absorbed properly.

Try to keep Mehandi at least for 10-12 hours

Keep the mehndi on for a couple of hours. 10-12 hours of stay can turn the colour darker. If you have the wedding ceremony at night, you can sleep with the mehndi on and wash it off the next morning.
