  • Wrapping the design

You can also wrap the design by itself, but it is recommended to ask the artist to do the wrapping also. If you are not a professional, then there are high chances of spoiling the design. Imagine if you have a light brown color whenever you put Mehendi on your hands, wrapping actually doubles the color, and that makes it dark brown or black. You can also use the medical tape that is available while wrapping the design. 

  • Leave Mehendi for longer time

leave mehandi We all usually keep the Henna for 2 to 5 hours. But instead, you need to keep the mehndi for a long time. It is preferable to live Henna overnight or for 12 hours, make sure that you don’t wash your hands and legs with water to protect Henna. After 12 hours or longer, rub your palms gently and scrape out mehndi.

Similarly, you can use your palms to remove the mehndi on your legs. If you have given enough time to the mehndi to dry, then it will even fall off. So if you want the beautiful color of your Mehendi, then let it take the full time, and you will notice a vibrant color.
