Lemon and Sugar is always a yes-yes

This is the most common trick that has been used for ages to darken the henna. To make this mixture in a bowl, mix some sugar with lemon juice and use a cotton ball to apply it on your hands and feet after the henna dries up. You could also apply it after washing off the Mehendi.

Have patience and do not blow dry your Mehendi

After you apply the application, you often become restless to see the colour of the henna but come what may avoid using blow-dry to dry your mehendi. By blow-drying, it can lead to bleeding of the mehendi and ruin the design, and you might not want that to happen, especially when your big day is just around the corner.
