How to care for your Mehndi

You just got your Mehndi done, now what? 1. Wait for your Mehndi design to dry completely before touching or moving the adorned body parts to prevent smudging or smearing. 2. Once the design has dried, apply a mixture of lemon juice and sugar to the dried mehndi that helps seal the color and enhance its richness. 3. Avoid washing the area for at least 12 hours to allow the dye to fully develop. 4. Gently scrape off dried mehndi with a blunt object. Tweezers work well! Use a scraping motion rather than plucking. 5. Once a vast majority has been removed, feel free to wash your hands. 6. Within 1-2 days the henna design will darken.
