Just got your henna done?

Not sure how to take care of it to get the best possible stain?

  1. Keep the henna paste on for a minimum of 4 hours – the longer the better.
  2. Avoid sweating, exercise, and any contact with water to the henna during this time
  3. After 4+ hours, peel and scrape off the dried paste. Do not use water to take it off – if it’s not coming off, you may use coconut, mustard, or another body oil to help soften and remove the paste
  4. Once removed, the stain will be very light – do not panic! Natural henna takes 24-48 hours to fully darken
  5. During the first 24-48 hours, avoid contact with water, exercise, or other activities that may cause the area to sweat
  6. Your stain has now fully darkened! Feel free to use water, exercise, and do anything you normally would as you enjoy the stain for the next 1-2 weeks.
  7. Snap a photo of your final stain and send it in to
