New Delhi: Mehndi is a medicinal herb, and is great in destressing a person. While the wedding is a happy occasion for the families involved, it can get a little hectic. Mehndi application helps in calming the nerves and also, prevents headaches and fever.
The colour of the Mehndi is said to be a direct reflection of her husband’s love for her. To darken the henna on your palms and wrists, you can add the following items to the mehndi:
1) Alkaline or acidic ingredients like lemon juice and sugar.
2) Coffee is known for its natural colouring properties. Coffee will make your henna browner and redder.
3) Chilli powder and mustard oil added to your henna can work wonders in terms of a brighter and darker shade of mehndi.
4) In a pan, add some cloves and let them heat to medium flame. Once the cloves heat up, place your hands over the fumes of the clove. If you do this process after applying the lemon-sugar mixture, it will be more effective.
5) Essential oils like lemon oil, eucalyptus oil, clove oil, or Mahalabiya oil can be used to darken henna.
