What to Expect When You're Expecting ... to Get Henna

Hurrah!  You've scheduled a henna session with me at The Artful Cricket Henna Studio & Gift Gallery!  I'm really looking forward to sitting down with you and making some beautiful art for you.  Here are some helpful tips and suggestions to help you get the best results from your henna:

  • A day before your session, wash the area to be hennaed with soap & water.  GENTLY exfoliate.

  • If it's possible and you're willing, shave or wax the area to be hennaed.  Hands and feet don't really need it, but arms, legs, and heads have enough fuzz that it will often disrupt the lines of henna paste as they are drawn, resulting in artwork that is less clean looking, or spots that don't stain because the paste couldn't reach the skin.  This step is ESPECIALLY important for henna crowns!

  • DON'T put any oil or lotion onto the area to be hennaed - that will act like a barrier between your skin and the henna paste, preventing you from getting the best possible stain.

  • The day of your henna session, if you plan on getting your palms decorated, let someone else drive you!  Nothing is worse than trying to keep your design from smooshing against the steering wheel!

  • After the application of your design is complete, I will dry the paste with a hair dryer and cover the design with protective, latex-free tape (except for palms - palms sweat, and that would collect under the tape and cause the paste to re-wet and smudge).
    ​
  • Go home, relax, and don't sweat!  Let the henna paste work its magic!
