Henna is a beautiful, temporary form of body art, but to ensure that it lasts as long as possible, proper care is essential. Here are some tips to keep your henna looking fresh:
Avoid Water: After applying henna, avoid contact with water for at least 4-6 hours. This allows the stain to set properly.
Leave the Paste on Longer: For a darker stain, leave the henna paste on your skin for as long as possible (ideally 8-12 hours).
Don’t Scrub the Design: When washing your hands or feet, gently rinse the henna without scrubbing to avoid fading the design.
Moisturize: Use a natural oil, like coconut or olive oil, to moisturize the henna once the paste is removed. This helps the stain darken and last longer.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Stay away from products that contain alcohol, as these can cause the henna stain to fade faster.
Following these tips will help you maintain vibrant and long-lasting henna designs.
