Overnight Care ~For the first day you get henna, wrap it in order to prevent stained sheets. You can use saran wrap, any second skin, or cloth medipore.
Make It Last ~ Leave henna on for a minimum of 4 hours, but for the best results, shoot for 8-12 hours. The longer you leave it on, the darker the stain will become. Scrape it off after the time is up and watch your design get darker over the next few days! Coconut or mustard oil can help the scraping process go smoother as well. Another key tip is to avoid friction and water as much as possible.
Water Proof ~ Apply vaseline, any natural oil, or a henna aftercare balm to help it be somewhat water resistant and last a little longer.
Bonus Tips ~To help your henna not dry out and also darken the stain, add half a cup of lemon juice, half a teaspoon of sugar, and a few drops of essential oils. Stir until sugar dissolves. Some essential oils that help darken the stain are eucalyptus, lavender, tea tree, clove, or rosemary.
