It starts light and deepens to that rich mahogany over 24 to 48 hours. I will always guide you through the specific aftercare. Sealing the design with my lemon-sugar mix is key to getting the best, longest-lasting result possible. ### How I approach your portrait Every portrait mehendi project starts with a conversation. Whether you want a loved one, a pet, or even a Bollywood star, I ask for clear reference photos first. For complex faces, I often do a light sketch on the skin to map out proportions before I touch the henna cone. This ensures the likeness is accurate and gives me a template to follow for shading and detail work. ### Customization and style I treat my henna like a canvas. If you want a 3x4 inch rendering of a face, I focus on realistic shading techniques to capture expressions. If you prefer a full-figure scene, like a traditional Maharashtrian couple or a mythological portrait, I blend the figures with intricate floral or jali work to frame the design on your palm. Since I am obsessed with getting a dark stain, I work with premium, organic henna blends that are free from harsh chemicals. ### Bringing your vision to life I love a creative challenge. You can bring me quirky ideas, anime requests, or sentimental tributes, and I will find a way to translate them into henna. I handle projects in Navi Mumbai and across Chennai, so reach out if you have a specific date in mind. Let’s create something that tells your story. ## About Caffeinated Henna Hi, I’m Radhika.
