Henna Aftercare is just as important as the design and application. Good aftercare yields beautiful results while not caring for your Henna means a light and quick to fade stain.
Please follow the steps below for the best stain possible:
Protect your stain from getting smeared. Watch out for others if you are walking around.
Allow paste to dry complete
Apply sealant if available. Sealant may only be available for evening events as sun exposure to the lemon may cause burns.
Let paste sit on skin for 4-8 hours
The longer the better!
After 8 hours, scrape off the dry paste.
You may pick it off or use a straight edge to scrape it off. Use coconut oil to remove the stubborn bits. Wipe dry with a paper towel.
Avoid water for 24-48 hours. We know this is a hard one! Do the best you can. Before bathing apply coconut oil and avoid exfoliating the area.
Do not wrap your Henna with any form of plastic, saran wrap, plastic bags or gloves. - YOUR HENNA WILL SMEAR.
If you wish to sleep with your henna on for a darker stain simply wrap your DRY henna with toilet paper and put a sock or stocking over it.
Henna will be orange at first and will darken over the next 24 hours. Your stain will last
1-2 weeks.
