Directions for Use:
-
Preparation: Ensure the skin area where you plan to apply the mehndi is clean and dry, free from lotions or oils.
-
Test (Recommended): Apply a small dot of henna paste to a discreet area of skin (e.g., behind the ear or inner elbow) and leave for 24 hours to check for any allergic reaction, especially if you have sensitive skin.
-
Application: Carefully snip a tiny bit off the tip of the cone to achieve the desired line thickness. Hold the cone like a pen and gently squeeze from the middle to apply the henna paste onto the skin, creating your design.
-
Drying: Allow the henna paste to dry completely. This can take 15-30 minutes, or longer depending on thickness.
-
Setting & Darkening (Crucial for best results): Once dry, it's recommended to leave the paste on the skin for as long as possible, ideally 7-8 hours or even overnight, to achieve the darkest stain. Some recommend applying a lemon-sugar solution or balm to keep the paste moist and prevent cracking. Keeping the area warm can also enhance the colour.
-
Removal: Gently flake or brush off the dried henna paste without using water. Avoid washing the area for at least 6-12 hours after removing the paste. The initial stain will be orange and will gradually darken to a reddish-brown or dark brown over the next 24-48 hours.
