🌿 Henna Aftercare Tips
Your henna design is a work of art that continues to develop even after your appointment. Proper care helps it blossom into a deep, radiant stain that lasts beautifully. Follow these simple steps to protect and enhance your henna’s natural glow.
While the Paste is On:
Allow the henna to rest on your skin for 4–6 hours or longer — overnight gives the richest color.
Keep the area dry and warm; moisture can lighten the stain.
Once dry, gently scrape off the paste instead of washing it away.
To deepen the stain, lightly dab a lemon-sugar blend over the design and let it dry.
Avoid rubbing or brushing against the henna while it sets.
After Removing the Paste:
Apply a touch of natural oil (coconut, mustard, or olive) to nourish the skin and lock in color.
Keep the design away from water for the next 24 hours — this helps the stain mature beautifully.
Avoid soap, lotion, or sanitizer during this time, as they can interfere with color development.
Your stain will bloom from orange to a deep, rich brown over the next 24–48 hours.
Warmth enhances the color — stay cozy and let the magic deepen naturally.
For longer-lasting results, avoid chlorine, scrubbing, or exfoliation.
A Little Secret:
Henna loves thicker skin — the palms and soles reveal the deepest, most vibrant color.
With gentle care, your design can last 1–2 weeks in all its beauty.
