does any one know how people get the mehndi outline to be really dark, almost black. They then fill the inside with mehndi and wash is it quickly so its light orange, looks really pretty but i dont know about the outline, or what they use?
This is called two tone henna. That is actually time consuming because first you have to the outline and let that stay on for several hours. The next day, after the henna has been removed, you do the shading and then remove after a shorter period. How long you keep it on for is really dependent on your skin type. If you take color fast, it needs to only stay on for about 15 mins or so, otherwise it may need an hour.
