Arabic Mehndi Designs

A sugar and lemon mixture dabbed on the dried mendhi deepens the final color. After the drawing with cones or syringes is finished, the paste dries to allow the color to become absorbed by the skin. While this takes only 10-15 minutes, the paste should be left on the skin for another 6 hours to achieve the most lasting affect.Arabic Mehndi paste, or mendhi, takes from a few minutes to a few hours to apply depending upon the bodily location and the desired detail of the design.
