Re: mehendi and arms

i think it actually looks better this way..same color of mehndi all the way from your hands to your arms would look too much...

Re: mehendi and arms

get some sugar and water and make a paste. Apply that. Also turn the stove on and keep ur hands / arms above the heat. That should work

or put vasaline or vicks...till 1 day after mehndi also....just let ur hands sticky oily...thn colour wil com...we use in dubai dat kind of mixtures who make heena colour extra dark...

Re: mehendi and arms

aww try the vicks trick, my mums mentioned it to a few ppl b4 and i think it works, my mehndi always comes out dark a day or 2 after even on my arms ah so ive never needed to use anything extra

Re: mehendi and arms

you can try this one it worked for me.Put some cloves(loung) on the tawa let it get heated and keep ur hands above the smoke which comes.And also the vicks trick work,after applying vicks tie ur hands with some cotton dupatta for 5 mts or so ,so the heat gets generated.Do all this before washing your mehendi.Hope it works for you.
