how to apply mehndi on hair - #38274
I am struggling with my hair lately and I remember that my grandmother used to say how great mehndi is for your hair. I think I really wanna try it out. But like, I have no idea how to apply mehndi on hair properly. Last time I tried, it was such a mess! I spilled some on my shirt and the color didn’t even come out right, it just didn’t stick. I have pretty dry and frizzy hair too, and I'm hoping mehndi could help it look better, you know? I read somewhere that it can condition your hair and make it shiny, which sounds amazing! The thing is, I want to make sure I do it right. Do I mix it with something before applying? Is it really as easy as it sounds? What about timing? Like, how long should I leave it on? And how do I wash it out without ruining everything? Any tips on how to apply mehndi on hair without the whole process being a total disaster would be super helpful! Plus, should I do a patch test or something to be safe? Just feel kinda overwhelmed and want my hair to look beautiful again. Thanks in advance for any advice! 🥰

Applying mehndi (henna) to hair can indeed be a beneficial practice when done correctly. Start with choosing good quality, natural henna powder. Since you mentioned having dry and frizzy hair, combining henna with ingredients like yogurt, aloe vera gel, or even a bit of coconut oil can add extra conditioning. Mix the henna powder with warm water, and let it sit overnight or for at least a couple of hours to allow the dye to release — this step’s crucial for a good color payoff.
On the day of application, before starting, wear an old shirt to prevent stains. Section your hair, starting from the back of your head. Apply the paste evenly using a brush or gloved fingers, make sure to cover your hair completely from root to tip. Ensure to apply thickly, but avoid making it too watery, as it could drip. Yes, doing a patch test behind your ear or on your inner arm 24 hours before the main application is wise, especially if your skin is sensitive.
Leave the mehndi on for about 2 to 4 hours, although with drier hair, longer exposure might benefit conditioning. To avoid mess, cover you hair with a shower cap or an old towel. While washing off henna, do so with plain water first; rinse out until the water runs clear. Avoid shampooing immediately after rinsing out the henna, instead wait till the next day, ensuring the most vibrant result and allow your hair absorb the conditioning.
For any spillage, be prepared with a paper towel or wet cloth nearby during application. After washing, applying a natural conditioning treatment can help tame any remaining frizz. Following these tips makes the process manageable, leaving your hair shiny and nourished.
