Henna Aftercare
Do’s and Don’ts
By following these henna aftercare instructions, you can protect and lengthen the life of your design.
DO’s
Allow your henna to dry for 30-45 minutes. It’s very important that you do not use your hands for any tasks during drying time.
Once your henna is dry, wear the paste for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight.
Scrape henna paste off with butter knife or rub it off with your hands.
Protect your henna with a very light coat of coconut or olive oil.
Henna stain will appear bright orange upon removal of paste and gradually darken over the next 24-72 hours.
Don’ts
Don’t remove henna paste with water or scrub the hands.
Don’t swim in a chlorine pool. This shortens the life of the design.
Don’t go home and cover your henna with plastic wrap or any other coverings.
