Henna by @kiran_henna_artistry Beautiful stains like this are no accident. It’s a partnership between the henna artist and the celebrant. The henna arts makes quality natural henna paste and then the success is up to the wearer: No lotions and oils before henna application! 1. Don’t smudge. 2. Minimize movement (moving causes chipping and flaking, no matter how sticky the paste is) 3. If the paste dries out, use sugar sealant. 4. STAY WARM. Remember henna / mehndi doesn’t come from cold places! Henna L❤️VES to be warm! Cannot stress the warm thing enough. 5. Pick off the paste, or use oil to aid paste removal. Yes. You can decrease your stain quality by using water. 6. Avoid contact with water the first 24 hours after paste removal 7. Definitely use lotions and body butters to keep skin hydrated.
