For the darkest colour
Mehandi care tips
- Let the paste dry fully, then keep it on as long as you can. Overnight is ideal.
- Scrape the dried paste off gently instead of washing it off.
- Keep your hands away from water for the first 12 hours.
- Keep your hands warm. Warmth helps the colour develop.
- Be patient: the colour keeps deepening for 24 to 48 hours after removal.
