Re: Black henna?
This trend came into fashion quite some years ago .. the first time i had this type of mehndi applied was when I was 15 or something … it really got famous in karachi back then
Def. not to use balck mehndi although I have never had a personal experience like that - is black mehndi and emergency cone the same thing? Dono but heard its bad. I livei n Dubai and the arabic ladies here have crazy black mehndi hands and theyre hands look fine? do they use some other kind of mehndi?
anyways, I had this done with a normal mehndi cone bought from a memon community in karachi - theyre kinda famous for their mehndi.
Trick is you apply the main outlines and design first and keep that overnight or the amount u want to keep to darken it (MA - my mehndi tends to darken a lot esp. if i keep it overnight - or just apply vicks before sleeping) .. it darkens crazy - after you’re done with that you take the same cone and complete the filling process the next morning (I remember asking the mehndi applying aunty that I want the filling wali mehndi design :))
wash or remove after you see a rusty orange color appear and not the dark mehndi color. the mehndi filling is usually still moist when you would want to remove it. the result is gawgus!
