I mix my henna 24 to 48 hours before your event using triple-sifted Sojat powder and natural essential oils. This specific resting time is crucial because it allows the dye to release properly. When you book me, you get fresh paste made specifically for your skin, not something pre-packaged or filled with chemicals that cause irritation. Many people assume the darkness of a mehendi stain depends entirely on the design, but the secret really lies in the ingredient quality and aftercare. I strictly avoid chemical-laden henna cones found in local markets. Those give an instant black color that fades in a day or two and can actually damage your skin. My paste is 100% natural, ensuring a rich, deep maroon shade that stays healthy on your skin. Getting a dark stain is a team effort between me and you. Once I apply the design, you need to keep the henna on for at least 6 to 8 hours. Avoid water for the first 12 hours after removing the dried flakes. Use heat, like clove steam, if you want to deepen the color, and apply coconut oil or a natural balm before you shower. Following these simple steps will help you get that deep, long-lasting color that carries through your entire wedding week. ## About Pranaya Bhate Hi, I am Pranaya!
