Proved by various researches and traditions, Mehndi is quite an exceptional antidote for hair loss and fragility which has primarily resulted in its silent overwhelming popularity.

Mehndi greatly encourages the growth of the hair and strengthens their roots and prevents hair thinning. Working as a conditioner and a dye, it has become quite popular among men as well especially for their beards.

For the application of Mehndi on the hair, first of all, you need to get the packed Henna powder which contains all the essential additives already.

You just need to add plain water to create a paste which is not too runny or thick in consistency. Besides, you can also add few drops like 5-6 of Hair oil for better results.

While applying the Henna, it is essential to use glass or plastic butter- knives and avoid metallic or steel ones. It is required only near the roots and not on the complete length of the hair.

One by one, removing small streaks of hair to one fixed side spread the Henna with the help of the knife so that it completely covers the evident scalp of the head. Whilst presuming the task, cover the whole head from above to the scalp nearer to the neck.

The application-of-Mehndi process is so far complete. Cover the head with a black scarf or any other black material to prevent leaking of the paste to the face or neck whilst it gets hotter due to the temperature of head.

Keep the Henna for maximum 4-6 hours intact with the head to achieve the best results in the form of colour as well as nourishment.

For removing the dye, wash with medium- hot water and slowly scrub the hair but not with much speed or intensity otherwise it can break the hair.

It is important to repeat the procedure once a week for the whole successive months to enhance the condition of hair with guarantee and get the best results!
