- Just before you plan to apply mehndi on your hands, make sure your hands are clean and properly dried. Avoid any cream and oil on your hands as they act as a barrier on your skin and minimise the absorption of the mehndi into your skin.

- When you peel the henna off, avoid washing it off with water, especially with soapy water. Soapy water can lead to a greater fading of your mehndi, thus making it look ghastly.

Within a few hours, rich colour will develop, thus granting your wish for a better and darker mehndi.
