= Care =

 In order for the henna to stay for a longer period of time on one's body, mendhi artists have some after care secrets.
 * 1) Leave the henna on as long as possible. For better result, leave the henna paste on overnight.
 * 2) Apply lemon and sugar on the fresh henna
 * 3) Drink a hot drink while/after the henna application
 * 4) Stay away from the cold
 * 5) Apply lemon, sugar and Vick's (my friend shared this tip with me)
 * 6) Don't touch anything until the henna has dried. Once it's dry, it will come out on its own.
 * 7) Do not rinse it with water [[image:wiki.10.jpg align="right"]]
