How long does mehndi last?
Mehndi designs are temporary, lasting anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. The length of time that the henna stays on your skin depends on your skin type and moisture, temperature, the quality of the paste, and area of the body. The drier your skin, the better the stain. The stain may take a couple days to reach its maximum color. Over the lifetime of the color, it will slowly fade lighter and lighter. This is due to your skin’s natural exfoliation. To keep your mehndi design as long as possible, moisturize frequently after application and avoid harsh scrubbing.
