Choosing the Right Henna & Preparation
For deep and long-lasting color, always use natural henna powder. Mix it with lemon juice, sugar, and essential oils like eucalyptus. Let the paste rest for at least 12 hours before use. Ensure your hands are clean and free from oils to get a rich stain.
Mastering Design Techniques
Start with simple floral and paisley patterns. Use a fine-tip cone for precision. Maintain steady pressure while applying to create smooth lines. Practice on paper before applying on skin.
Aftercare for Darker Stains
Once dried, seal the design with a sugar-lemon mixture. Avoid washing for 6-8 hours. Gently scrape off the dried paste instead of washing. Keep hands warm for a deeper stain. Applying mustard oil or Vicks after removal enhances the color.
