How do I take care of feet mehndi?
Feet stain darker than most of the hand because the skin is thicker, but the paste takes longer to dry. Sit with your feet up and avoid walking until it is fully dry, then leave it on overnight with socks or a wrap if possible.

What is a simple mehndi design?
A design with a few elements and plenty of open skin, such as a single flower, a short trail or finger patterns. Most take 10 to 20 minutes, which makes them a good choice for beginners, everyday wear or office days.

Read the guide →How long should I keep mehndi on?
Keep natural henna paste on for at least 6 to 8 hours; overnight is better. The longer it sits, the deeper the stain. Scrape it off with a blunt edge rather than washing, and keep the area away from water for the next 12 to 24 hours.

How it works →How do I get a darker mehndi colour?
Once the paste is half dry, dab on a little lemon juice mixed with sugar so it stays moist and sticks. Keep the hands warm and leave the paste on overnight. After scraping, avoid water for as long as you can. The colour starts orange and darkens over the next one to two days; it is at its deepest about 48 hours after removal.
How long does mehndi last?
Usually one to three weeks. Palms and soles hold colour longest because the skin there is thicker; the back of the hand fades sooner. Frequent washing, scrubbing and sanitiser make it fade faster.
