Before Care
1. Allow enough time to have your henna applied, because it takes at least
20 minutes to one hour for the henna paste to dry, depending upon the thickness of design.
2. Shower or bathe before having henna applied. Especially for brides - manicures, pedicures, waxing, shaving, and hair removal with cream should be done prior to
henna.
3. Wear comfortable clothing that will not rub against the area being treated.
4. Do not apply lotion, oil or sun block on the areas where henna will be applied.
