Welcome to my store!! Brown henna stability on skin 1-2 weeks depending on after care. Clinically Tested!! No Chemicals, no PPD, no Ammonia How to apply Mahendi: 1. Wash the skin with soap & water. Make sure your skin is free from oil & lotion. 2. Hold the cone like you hold a pen. Take out the pin & save it for later. Cut a small portion at the tip of the cone. Squeeze some until henna comes out smoothly. 3. Create your design. There are numerous videos on YouTube and design templates available on Google for free. Henna reacts based on ones skin temperature. 4. Allow henna to dry completely. Apply my lemon +sugar mixture with a cotton. 5. Keep the design wrapped for 4-5 hours or overnight for darker desired color. 6. At first color output is orange. Don't panic this is normal. Depending on your skin temperature color gets darker within 24 hours. 7. Cones are made in these sizes for a reason so the person applying the design can have a good grip while doing the design. 8.
