Two Traditional Ways to Use Clove for Mehndi
1. Clove Steam Method (Most Popular)
This is an old but gold trick—and very easy to do.
How to:
Heat 1 tablespoon of whole cloves in a dry pan.
Once they begin to smoke, hold your dry mehndi hand over the steam for 30–45 seconds.
Be careful not to burn your skin—keep a safe distance!
Do this after you’ve scraped off the dried paste.
Follow up with natural balm or coconut oil. 
Tip: This works best when done within a few hours of removing your mehndi.
2. Clove Powder in Your Henna Mix
Some people add a pinch of clove powder directly to the henna paste before applying.
This can make the paste more effective—but go slow! Clove is strong and may irritate sensitive skin. Always do a patch test first.
