How Long Does Henna Last?
The lifespan of a piece of henna artwork depends on a number of variables, including:
- Where on the body the design was placed - Quality of the henna paste used - How long the paste was left on the skin - If proper after-care procedures were followed (Was the paste scraped off? Was the fresh stain kept out of the water for a minimum of 6 hours?) Assuming good quality henna paste was used, the paste was left on the skin the optimal 8 hours, and proper after-care practices were observed, here is how long stains generally last on different areas of the body: Hand (back): 1 week Hand (palm): 2 to 4 weeks Arm: 2 weeks Torso: 1 to 2 weeks Leg: 2 weeks Foot (Top): 2 to 3 weeks Foot (Sole): 1 to 3 weeks |
