Henna Aftercare

Want to get a dark stain?

Follow the after care instructions

  • Leave paste on skin for at least 8-10 hrs. Overnight is even better.
  • Seal dried paste onto the skin by dabbing with cotton ball dipped in lemon sugar syrup.
  • HEAT is a friend of henna. Warming your henna design with the henna paste still on your skin will help in achieving a dark stain. You can warm your hand over the stove with 10-12 cloves, or in front of the fireplace or a space heater, or even use a heating pad.
  • Do not Wrap your henna with any kind of plastic wrap, saran wrap or madical tape. Doing this will make your hands sweat and henna deisgn witll smudge.
  • After 8-10 hours, do not wash off with soap and water. Scrape the paste off gently. You can use warm mustard oil for taking the paste off.
  • Avoid direct contact with water for the next 24 hrs. Keep stain coated with mustard oil/olive oil/coconut oil to create a barrier.
  • Apply Vicks vaporub the next night before going to bed.
  • Keep stain coated with mustard oil/olive oil/coconut oil before and after shower until your wedding day.
  • Henna stain will be light/bright orange at first and will darken to a deep brown over the next 48-60 hours. This gradual darkening of the stain is a sign that the henna paste is 100% natural!
