If the question of when exactly you should get your mehndi done to achieve the best stain has left you confused, you’re not alone. ‘Mehndi stain takes time to darken’ is common knowledge but no one knows exactly how long it will take and whether their timeline is a reliable one. With that said, the only person you can truly rely on to reveal the secret is your own mehndi artist.

The mehndi artist you choose to hire has probably done this over and over again. And their experience of working with hundreds of brides makes them the perfect person to answer this question for you. Renowned mehndi artist Kavita of KV Mendhi, who has adorned the hands of hundreds of brides, has perfected her craft to give brides the result they hope for. Apart from intricate, detailed designs, she has gained a detailed knowledge of how henna really works.


Get To Know More

First and foremost, she wants her brides to know that “natural henna is always a green and earthy colour when applied. When checking for natural organic henna, this can be a good indicator.” Keep away from mehndi with added chemicals and always do a patch test of the same mehndi you are going to use on for your wedding day.


Drying Process

“The drying process can vary depending on the environment in which henna is applied, but when it has dried completely, the henna turns into a dark brown/black colour.” Most pictures of mehndi designs that we see on social media are all taken at this stage, naturally creating a common misconception that this represents your actual mehndi stain. “If you're a bride, this is usually the moment where you panic, crumbling off your henna. The stain is usually a bright orange stain at this point, but don't stress, trust the process” says the expert.


After Care

“This is the time where heat, cloves and oils are key components to enhance your stain and avoiding water is very important. Nail and beauty treatments should be completed prior to henna application for this reason.” Brides, make sure to allow yourself just enough number of days between your mehndi event and wedding day for the stain to peak. A big gap between the events will leave you with a post-bloom fading stain.
