• Avoid Water: After applying Mehndi, avoid washing your hands for at least 6-8 hours. The longer you keep the paste on, the darker the stain will be.

• Let the Henna Dry Naturally: Allow the henna to dry naturally. If you need to speed up the drying process, you can let it air dry or use a hair dryer on the cool setting.

• Apply Lemon-Sugar Mixture: Once the paste is dry, apply a mixture of lemon juice and sugar. This helps set the design and enhances the color.

• Keep the Design Warm: Henna darkens better in warmth. After removing the paste, wrap your hands in plastic or gloves to keep them warm for a few hours.

• Avoid Scrubbing: Do not scrub or wash the area with soap for 24 hours after the paste is removed. Gently wipe away any excess paste.

• Moisturize with Oil: After the henna is removed, apply coconut oil or olive oil to keep the skin hydrated, which helps the color last longer.

• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Try not to expose the henna to direct sunlight, as it can lighten the stain faster.

• Start with Basic Shapes: Practice drawing lines, dots, and basic shapes like flowers and paisleys.

• Use Paper for Practice: Before applying on skin, practice on paper to improve hand stability.

• Watch Tutorials: Learn from online videos or social media for tips and new techniques.

• Practice Regularly: Dedicate time each day to practice. Start with simple designs and progress to more intricate patterns.

• Experiment with Styles: Try different styles like Arabic, Indian, and Moroccan to find what suits you.

• Learn from Experts: Join workshops or follow professional artists for guidance and inspiration.
