Karwa chauth aa raha hai and i really want to put mehndi like every year. Im in my 7th month. Is the normal mehndi ok or should i avoid? anyone applied during pregnancy?
I was also wondering about this because of the upcoming festival season! Is it safe to use organic henna powder from local shops? Pls suggest if you guys know any good chemical-free brands.
My gynac said natural green henna is perfectly safe, but strictly warned against chemical 'emergency' mehndi that stains dark in 5 minutes. Those contain chemicals like PPD which can cause severe skin allergies. Always check the ingredients before applying.
While applying mehndi is safe, sitting in one position for 3-4 hours can cause terrible backache and leg swelling. When I got it done, I took regular breaks to walk around and stretch. Make sure you are sitting in a well-ventilated room so the strong smell doesn't make u nauseous.
Yes, you can apply it, but it is better to use natural, homemade organic mehndi. The chemical cones from the market have strong smells and artificial dyes that might not be safe. I am also planning to stick to pure organic leaf paste once I conceive.
I applied mehndi during my baby shower in the eighth month and had no issues at all. I just made sure it was 100% natural henna made at home by my mother. I avoided the black chemical mehndi completely just to be on the safe side.
