Frequently Asked Questions
Henna is a plant that grows across Asia and North Africa. Its leaves contain lawsone, a natural dye which binds to the keratin in skin, hair and nails. To create body art a paste is made using the dried and powdered leaves of the henna tree mixed with a liquid and essential oils.
The paste is applied to the skin in a pattern and left to stain for several hours before being removed. It leaves an orange coloured stain which turns dark brown over a couple of days and stays on the skin for up to 3 weeks.
- Organic henna powder
- Essential oil. Usually lavender oil & eucalyptus oil but occasionally tea tree, cajeput, or others may be used.
- Water or lemon juice.
- Sugar
Henna is a plant mostly grown in the tropical places and its leaves contain a powerful staining agent in them. The leaves are crushed into a bright lime green powder. Then you add essential oils and lemon juice to create the paste. The henna paste dyes your skin a deep reddish brown pigment. So, all in all, henna is completely safe for the skin. So, it is absolutely safe to bless bellies with it!
You should plan to have your henna applied 2-3 days before the event you intend to wear it for or the day before at the latest. The fresh stain will be orange in colour which takes 2 -3 days to mature to its darkest deep brown shade.
Once the stain has peaked in colour it should last up to 2-3 weeks if aftercare advice is followed.
Your skin should be clean, dry and free from lotions and oils the day you have the henna applied. Because you will need to keep the paste on for several hours after application and keep the skin dry up to 2 days after, it is best to get any messy jobs out of the way beforehand so that you can relax and make the most of your henna.
Henna stains best on hands and feet but it can be worn anywhere on the body. It is worth remembering that the stain will not be as dark on e.g. the shoulders as on the hands.
The longer the better! Keep yourself warm and comfortable somewhere you can be still. It’s an ideal time for a tv watching! The paste should be kept on for a minimum of 4 hours to get a deep stain. You can even keep the paste on overnight, it will need to be carefully wrapped in something absorbent to keep the paste in place and stop excess moisture smudging the design.
You can pick the paste off with your fingernails or scrape it away with a teaspoon or butter knife. If the paste is stubborn you can soak it in a natural oil (e.g. olive) for a few minutes to loosen it. DO NOT WASH IT WITH WATER! Water affects the quality of the stain.
