Haan apply mehendi but honestly sitting in one place for hours made me so hungry! I kept craving hot samosas while my hands were drying. Just make sure it's organic mehendi so you can eat peacefully after it dries.
I was so worried about this during my fifth month! I read somewhere that some chemical cones have bad ingredients that might affect the baby. Honestly, if you really want to apply, please make sure it's 100% natural ghar ki mehendi and do a patch test first.
Of course you can, just don't buy those cheap instant mehendi cones from local shops. They have chemicals like PPD which are totally unsafe. Go for organic henna or just make the paste at home, it's totally fine.
My mother-in-law insisted I use only freshly ground henna leaves from our backyard. I also asked my gynac during my checkup and she said natural mehendi is perfectly fine. Just avoid the chemical ones from the market.
During my baby shower, I felt so happy applying mehendi but I was also super careful. I made my mom prepare natural mehendi at home with tea water. It felt so special and traditional, plus it's completely safe that way.
Yes dear, you absolutely can! Just stick to natural henna instead of those fast-color chemical ones. Put on some nice music, get a beautiful design, and enjoy this phase! 😊
