Love Mehendi? Try These Different Designs

Before we get on with the designs you could try on like an Arabic mehendi, a typical Bengali style mehendi or the good old traditional, know more about mehendi. Mehendi or Henna looks beautiful on all but there are certain precautions one needs to adopt.

Always wash your hands with soap and water before you apply henna. You can also use alcohol-based lotion if your skin is oily, and to get the dark colour on your hands you can apply mehendi oil as well.

If you are sceptic about it, do a patch test before applying it on your skin. If you are using glitters and stones sticker meheni make sure the adhesive that is used is skin-friendly. If you get any rash or allergy visit the doctor immediately.

Usually in India, the traditional mehendi is used but nowadays, you can also find red mehendi as well as black mehendi being used. Black mehendi is very popular in Arabic mehendi designs for hands or feet and now is being used to draw borders of the designs to make them prominent.
