🌿 Henna Aftercare
Follow these simple steps to get the richest, longest-lasting colour from your design.
🖐️
Leave it On
Let the paste dry completely — this takes around 30–40 minutes.
Leave the henna paste on the skin for at least 6–8 hours. Overnight is best!
🚫
No Water
Do not wash the paste off.
Instead, gently scrape or flake it off with your fingers, a butter knife, or a paper towel.
Avoid water contact entirely for the first 24 hours after removing the paste.
🧴
Protect & Moisturise
Once the dried paste is off, gently massage a natural oil (e.g. coconut, olive, or argan oil) into the design.
Apply a thin layer of natural oil or balm before showers, washing dishes, or swimming, to create a water-resistant barrier.
✨
Watch it Darken
The stain will look light or bright orange when you first scrape off the paste — that's completely normal!
Be patient. It takes about 24–48 hours for the colour to fully mature into a deep, rich brown or mahogany.
