It\u2019s said that \u201cthe darker the Mehendi, the more your husband will love you\u201d. Of course it\u2019s just a superstitious and there are many more stuff people say about this Mehendi-application which we are not going to discuss. We are going to discuss some tips and tricks to make the color of Mehendi darker because the \u201cdarker the better\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"HOW<\/a>Vicks Vapor Rub<\/em><\/strong>: Once the Mehendi is dried and flaked off, simply apply some Vicks vapor rub all over your hand. Apply it just like you\u2019re applying any hand lotion and Make sure the Mehendi is covered completely with the balm. The menthol present in Vicks helps in darkening the Mehendi color. Sleep with Vicks applied and you\u2019ll wake up with dark beautiful color on your hands.<\/p>\n

Lemon-Sugar Mixture<\/em><\/strong>: After your Mehendi is dried, you can apply lemon-sugar mixture so that it doesn\u2019t start flaking off. Take one lemon juice in a bowl and add sugar in it. Warm up this mixture little bit and with the help of cotton apply it all over your Mehendi design. The idea behind applying this sugary syrup is so that the Mehendi can stick on to your hand for little more and can leave better color. After 15 minutes when the mixture will be dried, apply mustard oil to get rid of the sticky feeling.<\/p>\n

Cloves<\/em><\/strong>: Heating some cloves on a stove. Keep your hands few inches away from the stove and allow the smoke of the clove to reach your Mehendi. I don\u2019t know what theory it is but this trick has actually worked for many brides to darken their bridal Mehendi design. The smoke of the clove is very beneficial and you can also use clove oil if it\u2019s handy.<\/p>\n

Wrap Up<\/em><\/strong>: After you are done with Mehendi application and going to sleep simply wear gloves and then sleep. The \u201cwarm therapy\u201d is also considered beneficial for making the Mehendi color darker. Wearing gloves\/socks will keep your hands and feet warmer that will help in darkening the color. You can also use any oil and then wrap up your Mehendi design for nourishment.<\/p>\n
