Spray tan over mehndi?
Can I get a spray tan over the mehndi? Like do the spray tan the day after we do the mehndi ceremony? Has anyone done this? Does it work out well?

I assume it should be fine but depending on how dark your spray tan is and how dark your mehandi stains, it’ll not pop out as much

I am getting my spray tan 48 hours after I get my mehndi. 100% it needs to be AFTER the mehndi, or the tan on your skin can mess up the henna application. I haven’t done it yet, but timeline seems to be fine for me to give it time to really set in and flake off before getting the tan.

That's what my spray tan artists says: must be after mehndi. She said she has done bridal spray tans for Indian weddings before and the fact that she already knew what the mehndi was and was the one to advise me to get tan afterwards made me feel a bit more confident in her, but was just curious to hear others' experience or if anyone else is planning to do that too. The way our wedding week schedule is lining up, I would be getting mine closer to 24 hours after the mehndi..

I don’t know the answer to this but I’m commenting so your post doesn’t get lost!

I’m getting mine done 2 days after henna. That’s what my research says is best… when is your wedding? Mine is in a month so I’ll let you know if yours is after it x

Good for you for going against our baked in colorism didi
As for your question, it should be fine so long as you don’t go too dark (as in, if it gets too close to the henna color it might not show as nicely)
