Especially, when it comes to weddings, mehendi is considered really auspicious and it has been a part of our culture for centuries.

Wash Your Hands Before Mehendi Application

Make sure you wash your hands well with soap before applying mehendi. This will remove all the other layers from your hand and you will get a darker shade of mehendi. Also, make sure you don't apply any hand creams or lotions before your mehendi.

Keep It For As Long As Possible

It takes a lot of time to get your mehendi done. When you invest so much time to get that perfect design, you should not remove it immediately after you feel it has started to dry. Let it dry on its own and after some time you will see it falling on its own. If possible try to keep sleep with it overnight as it gives you a darker colour. 

Apply A Mix Of Lemon And Sugar

This method of darkening mehendi is being used since years now. You must have seen mehendi walas always carrying this mix with them. Once your mehendi dries off, apply this mix on your hands and feet with cotton. Make sure you don't apply too much of this mixture on your hand as it can lighten your mehendi instead of darkening it.
