How do i take care of my henna?

Henna must be kept on for as long as possible, preferably 6-8 hours. The longer the paste is on, the darker your henna will turn out. Once the paste is removed, the stain will take up to 48 hours to completely darken up. The stain acts differently on every person as everyone has their unique chemical balance which helps the skin absorb the stain. The stain can be maintained for a longer time by putting a layer of oil or moisturizer everyday.


How long will my henna stay on?

It depends on what part of your body you get your henna. It lasts about 7-10 days on the hands and 14 days other parts of your body. Remember, henna gets the darkest on your palms since there’s more body heat.
