Doing Henna

The best place to get a good stain from Henna Mehndi MUD is from the elbows to the fingertips and from the knees down. Other parts of the body will stain but not get as dark. It has something to do with the blood vessels closer to the surface in the extremities of our bodies. Muscular parts are more difficult to stain. I suggest doing a second coat over the first one on the back and shoulder area. Applying a thicker layer in the first place works . Choosing a tribal pattern or similar design that is heavier in the first place in those areas works best.
