Henna naturally fades over time, but you can help speed up the process by gently scrubbing the design or applying an oil-based product to remove the stain.
Let the Henna Dry Completely
After the henna application, allow it to dry naturally. This may take 20-30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the design.
Avoid touching or smudging the design during this time.
Avoid Water for the First Few Hours
Try to avoid getting the henna wet for at least 6 hours after application. This allows the stain to set and darken.
If you need to clean your hands or touch water, wear gloves or use a napkin to protect the design.
Leave the Henna Paste on for as Long as Possible
For the darkest stain, it’s recommended to leave the henna paste on for at least 6-12 hours. The longer the paste stays on, the deeper the stain will be.
If possible, keep the paste on overnight for maximum results.
Scrape Off the Dried Paste
Once you’re ready to remove the paste, gently scrape it off with a blunt object (like a butter knife or the back of a spoon). Avoid washing it off with water as it can weaken the stain.
Avoid Soap & Water Immediately
After removing the paste, try not to wash the henna with soap or water for 24 hours. The natural oils and body heat help the stain darken over time.
Moisturize with Natural Oils
Once the paste is removed, apply a natural oil (like olive oil, coconut oil, or baby oil) to the henna design. This will help keep the design moisturized and encourage it to last longer.
Avoid lotions with artificial fragrances or chemicals, as these can lighten the stain.
Keep It Dry and Clean
Keep the area dry and avoid excessive sweating or scrubbing the design. Too much friction or rubbing can cause the henna to fade faster.
Be gentle when washing your hands or body, and avoid scrubbing or using harsh exfoliants.
Stay Away from Chlorine and Saltwater
If you're going for a swim, avoid saltwater and chlorinated pools. These can cause the henna to fade prematurely.
Expect the Stain to Darken Over Time
After removing the paste, the henna stain will be orange or light brown at first but will darken to a rich, reddish-brown over the next 24-48 hours. Patience is key!
General Tips for Longer-Lasting Henna
Avoid excessive heat: High heat, like hot showers, saunas, or direct sunlight, can cause the henna to fade faster.
Use gentle soaps: Use mild soaps and avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the stain from your skin.
Wear loose clothing: Avoid tight-fitting clothing that may rub against the henna and cause it to fade quicker.
