I thought this would be an important topic to bring up as eid is coming up and alot of ladies will be getting there mendhi done.
Recently ive been noticing everytime i put on mendhi, really good colour would come on and it would be all perfect, but then when it starts going away it does not fade away how mendhi is meant to be, it scratches off. It like a layer on the skin.Once i had it on an someone said to me how does your wudhu get done if its a layer, wouldnt that be the same thing as nail polish.I went home and literally scracthed my mendhi off with a scrubber and it came off. Which showed it was a layer on the skin.
Mehndi is meant to be a colour thats meant to go in the skin and then slowly fade away, but these days all what people care about is the colour and business. Majority of the cones in the uk (e.gthe purple ones), they give good colour but they scracth off and not fade away. Even in other countries like pakistan you get cones called the emergency mendi cones which are meant to give instant colour, but are not the pure mendhi.
The latest time i put mendhi on, i left it only for a few minutes and very good colour came. I was happy it will fade away, it seemed like the mendhi colour had gone into the skin, but after a few days i noticed it was a layer and took weeks to come. The whole time i was thinking did my wudhu get done because its a layer on my hand, i did try scracthcing it and it did come of but my skin would sometimes come of aswell it was layer stuck to my skin.
Has anybody else noticed this and could plz shed some light on it? It quite scary to think alot of people are putting it on, without even realisieng it it could be effecting there wudhu, hence there salah and ibaadat aswell.
