*yea i've heard that too...
Another thing that works is to rub 'vicks' all over your hands and that should darken the colour.

Re: mehndi color

guys,do u wash the mehndi off then apply vicks?or do u wait for the mehndi to dry n then put it on??but in that way wont it all get smudged?

Re: mehndi color

you wait for the mendhi to dry properly and then apply vicks for a while (like 10-20 mins before you are going to wash it off)

Re: mehndi color
