HENNA PREP & CARE INSTRUCTIONS

HENNA PREP

Please make sure you have exfoliated / showered / done wudu, remove hairs and get your nails done beforehand.
Removing hairs is not a must, however it helps to achieve a smooth application.
Please make sure your hand is free of any oils or lotions so that there isn't anything that can create a barrier between the skin and henna.

Leave henna paste on the skin for minimum 8 hours. (The longer the better)
Keep hands as warm as possible.
Do not do anything which will cause you to sweat as this can result in the stain smudging.
You can put cloves in a pan and hover your hands over the pan, taking the steam to help achieve a darker stain. You can do this with the paste on and after removing the paste.
Scrape the paste of gently, use natural oil to help soften the paste. DO NOT USE WATER.
Avoid water for the next 24-48 hours.
Avoid scrubing / exfoliating where henna has been applied
To make the stain last longer, apply henna balm before showering or using water as this helps to keep your hand moisturised and creates a barrier between skin and water.
