Henna is a paste made from the powdered leaves of the henna plant a long with distilled water (or lemon juice). Henna temporarily stains the skin to create a beautiful design.

Henna is typically a reddish brown shade. Depending on how well it absorbs into your skin. The color may range from a light brown to a blackish brown depending on the part of the body in which henna is applied.

The more complex your design is, the longer it will take to apply. While smaller designs only take a few minutes, full hand or foot designs can take 15 -30 minutes or longer.

Not in any way! You’ll likely find it to be a relaxing experience with a cooling effect on the skin.

Most Henna Designs Last Anywhere Between 1-2 Weeks If Proper Aftercare Is Followed.

Dry skin, swimming in chlorine pools, scrubbing/exfoliating, scented lotion, and hydrogen peroxide can shorten the lifespan of your henna.

Henna is safe for most everyone and ideal for children 4 and older.

The recipe is simple. You need to buy good body art quality henna. 25gms of henna powder (Rajasthani or jamilia but I prefer Rajasthani only.) 2tsp sugar (to be adjusted based on humidity level) 2tsp essential oils (cajeput, lavender, tea tree oil etc as per your preference). Distilled water or lemon juice.

Leg waxing/sugaring or shaving should be done 2days before henna. Doing this after your henna is done will impede the color results. Pedicure and manicures should be done the day or morning before the henna day. Please skip all massage oils, and body oils as this can impede color results. Please wear comfortable clothing to do your henna in. Remove your contacts, if this applies, before getting your henna done.
