How to make the color of henna darker?

The darker the color of henna, the more happiness of marriage increases. However, sometimes henna fades. Learn about these effective home remedies that will double the color of henna.

Lemon-sugar mixture

After the henna dries, apply the lemon-sugar mixture gently with cotton. This sets the design and deepens the color.

Mix coffee or tea

Adding some coffee powder or tea water to the henna paste makes the color quite dark. This is an old and effective recipe.

Clove steam

Steaming cloves on dry henna is the most effective method. Steam develops color and forms dark maroon.

Do not wash hands after drying henna

After applying henna on your hands, do not apply water for at least 6—8 hours. The longer the paste stays on the hand, the darker the stain will form.

Apply mustard oil

After removing the henna by scraping off the henna, apply mustard oil. The oil gives warmth and deepens the color.

Do not use soap

Do not apply soap for 24 hours after removing henna. Soap makes the color fade. Therefore, avoid using soap.

Choose natural henna

Henna containing chemicals gives color sharpness, but does not last so long. The color of organic henna gradually darkens and lasts longer.
