i had taken services for my daughter's wedding. when my (our) mehendi started fading, it never turned orange but it was still black.the bits left is still black and parts of it ..from back of my hand and wrist has just vanished. like paint has been washed off.. i think real mehendi turns orange and starts getting light like it used to in olden times. so don't kn if this was real mehendi or something else. i was expecting real mehendi. mehendi should be real mehendi.
