How Henna Is Applied

If you are getting henna work done for the first time, you may feel a bit anxious about the whole thing, but don't worry, it is completely painless. The henna paste may feel cold on your skin because it’s kept frozen until use. It will be drawn on your skin similarly to cake decorating. Afterwards, please note that it will take some time for the henna paste to dry and for the color to properly develop on your skin (see henna aftercare section). I always recommend leaving the paste on your skin for a minimum of 4-6 hours. **The longer it is left on, the darker the stain will become and the longer it will last. It will reach its peak in color in about 2-3 days and should last about 7 - 10 days with proper after care.
