Henna is fun halal way to decorate your body and is completely safe and natural with no added chemicals. It is easy to apply.. simply snip the end of the pre-mixed cone and squeeze the henna from the tube making the desired design.
Henna is a brown looking paste which stains the skin. When applied it feels cool and soothing. Once it dries on the skin, approximately 15 to 30 minutes, carefully pick off the dried paste without rubbing which will leave a reddish brown stain design. Then rinse the area under running water. The henna design will last from a few days to a couple of weeks depending on how quickly the area exfoliates. Keep the area moisturized with oil or lotion to help extend the life of your design.
It is recommended to wash the area where the henna design is to be applied beforehand. Do not apply lotion or oil before application. Insert a straight pin into the tip of the cone to unclog the tip or when finished so it won't dry up. Once opened the cones have a 3 to 4 month shelf life or up to 6 months when stored in the refrigerator because it is a natural herb.
