A: Real mehndi is done with pure henna which only comes in the orange/red/brown shades. Any other colours have other substances added.

Q: How do I make it darker?
A: Leave the paste on longer. If the mud starts to flake off, and the colour seems too faint, try spritzing the area with lemon juice and sugar to keep it moist and sticky. When you scrape the paste off, try to avoid washing the decorated area with water for as long as possible, the design should continue to get darker.
