Mehndi Aftercare & Lasting
Mehndi can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. The darkness and intensity is a result of many factors: quality henna, good mordants, skin chemistry, heat, and setting time. You can help develop the design by staying warm after you remove your wrap — exercise, or wear warm clothing. And you can help it last longer by moisturising the area and avoiding harsh chemicals and exfoliants. Applying an aftercare balm with emollient ingredients like cocoa butter will help protect your design from chlorine in the water.
