Today, applying Mehndi is an hands age-old custom that is liked in every age. Be it Eid, a wedding, or any special day, without mehndi, your beauty feels incomplete. Mehndi is not just limited to hands; now people apply beautiful designs on feet as well. Nowadays, new designs and ideas have given Mehndi the status of an art. If you want your Mehndi to look stunning on both hands and feet, then it is necessary to follow some simple methods
In this article, we will tell you eight such important steps through which you can make your mehndi better.Â
It is important to keep the skin clean before applying mehndi. If the hands and feet are oily or dirty, the mehndi color does not apply properly. First of all, wash your hands and feet thoroughly, then gently rub the skin with a good quality cleanser. You can also use lemon so that the skin becomes oil-free.
The secret of good mehndi lies in its paste. Always use herbal mehndi to make fresh mehndi paste. Keep it aside overnight so that the color comes out. When the paste is ready, put it in a cone so that the design sets well.
Mix lemon juice and a little coffee powder in the herbal mehndi powder and make a paste so that the color becomes rich. It is important to keep this paste in a steel or glass bowl after mixing it overnight. The color of the paste made this way is deep and lasts for a long time.
When the mehndi paste is properly prepared, fill it into a clean and tight cone.
It becomes easy to apply design through cones and the pressure control of fingers also remains the same. Adjust the cutting of the corners carefully so that the lines become neat and smooth.
Often, people start applying mehndi without planning and the design ends up being spoiled. You can choose Arabic, Indian, Moroccan or Gulf style designs. Floral and vine designs look good for hands, while circular or anklet styles are perfect for feet. Trying out the design on paper first is also a good idea.
It is very important to maintain balance while applying mehndi on both hands. Often one hand looks too heavy and the other lighter, which spoils the overall look. Apply similar designs on both hands or work in a mirrored style. If you are a beginner, first get one hand applied by an expert and then try the other hand yourself.
People often ignore the mehndi on the feet even though it is equally important. If you wear sandals, the mehndi on the feet gets highlighted the most. Round designs around the toes look decent while a vine or Jaali design above the ankle looks stylish. You can create a simple yet beautiful style by using dots and leaves.Â
It is very important to use the right method to dry the mehndi after applying it. Moving hands or feet directly after applying the mehndi can ruin the color. You can make a mixture of lemon and sugar and apply it to the mehndi with a brush so that the color becomes deeper. After the mehndi dries, rub it off and remove it; do not use water.
After applying mehndi, if you wish, you can make the design more stunning by means of a little glitter, nail art, or minor jewels. You can also wear hand accessories like rings, bangles or hand flowers which enhance the design even more.
If you apply mehndi properly and take care of it, it shows its effect for 7 to 10 days. After it dries, do not apply water to the henna and do not use oily creams.
Yes, some people may experience redness and itching due to chemical henna.
You can put different designs in both the places but if the theme and pattern match then the look becomes better.
If there is a heavy design of full hands and feet, then it can take up to 4 to 6 hours. Therefore, the designer should be given the idea of time and style in advance.
Yes, using eucalyptus oil or mustard oil after mehndi deepens the color.After scraping, do a light massage and keep the mehndi alive throughout the night.
Do not apply moisturizer immediately after removing henna, otherwise the color may fade. It is better to use oil or lotion after at least 24 hours.
Applying mehndi is fun and gets better with practice. If you want, you can make stunning mehndi designs at home too, with a little hard work and proper development. It is important to focus on every step, from making the paste to the final decoration.
