Step 1: Preparing Your Skin
Proper skin preparation is essential for a dark mehendi stain:
- Clean thoroughly: Wash your hands, arms, or feet to remove oil, dirt, and sweat.
- Exfoliate lightly: Gently remove dead skin for better color absorption.
- Dry completely: Mehendi adheres better to dry skin. Avoid applying oil, lotion, or cream.
- Warm the skin slightly: Slight warmth improves color penetration.
Pro Tip: Using Kaveri Mehendi cones on freshly cleaned skin enhances the stain significantly.
Step 2: Preparing the Mehendi Cone
Before applying, make sure the cone is ready:
- Knead or roll the cone lightly to make the paste smooth.
- Cut the tip according to the design you want—smaller tip for intricate details, larger tip for filling.
- Kaveri Mehendi cones are pre-prepared with smooth herbal paste, so it flows evenly for flawless application.
Step 3: Applying the Mehendi Cone
Applying mehendi correctly is the key to dark color and detailed designs:
- Draw outlines first: Start with the main shapes of your design.
- Fill in designs evenly: Maintain consistent pressure on the cone to avoid gaps.
- Layer for depth: Apply slightly thicker paste where you want a darker stain.
- Avoid touching or smudging: Let the paste sit undisturbed.
- Use steady hands: For bridal or detailed designs, a steady hand is crucial.
Tip: Practice on paper or a small area if you’re new to mehendi application.
Step 4: Drying the Mehendi
- Let the mehendi dry for 4–6 hours at room temperature.
- For bridal designs, leaving it overnight produces a richer, deeper color.
- Avoid water contact during drying.
Step 5: Sealing Mehendi for Darker Colour
To get a dark stain, sealing the mehendi paste is highly effective:
- Apply a lemon-sugar solution gently on the dried mehendi.
- Wrap the area with tissue, plastic wrap, or a soft cloth to retain warmth.
- Heat activates the henna dye and enhances stain intensity.
Using Kaveri Mehendi cones, enriched with herbal ingredients, ensures the paste stays moist longer for a deeper, longer-lasting color.
Step 6: Removing Mehendi Paste
- Scrape the dried paste gently using fingers or a blunt object.
- Do not wash with water immediately—wait 2–3 hours.
- Avoid soap or chemicals on the first day to allow full color development.
Step 7: Aftercare for Long-Lasting Stains
- Apply natural oils like coconut, mustard, or olive oil after removing the paste.
- Avoid washing the area for a few hours.
- The color will darken over 24–48 hours, giving a deep reddish-brown stain.
- Keep skin moisturized to preserve the mehendi longer.
Tips for Getting the Darkest Mehendi Colour
- Always use fresh mehendi cones; old paste may give lighter stains.
- Avoid contact with water and chemicals immediately after application.
- Thicker paste layers give richer color.
