Q. Does it hurt? A. No it does not hurt. No needle is used, as henna paste is applied on the skin with a henna cone.
Q. How long does a henna design (tattoo) last on the skin? A. Designs last from one to three weeks on the skin, depending
on your body temperature, skin type, body chemistry, lifestyle, and
where the henna is applied. The less you wash, the longer it stays.
Q. How do you take the design off? A. You can't just "take it off." The stain fades gradually as
your skin exfoliates. The time varies according to each individual. If
you do want it to fade more quickly, you can rub it with soap and
water. However, there is no quick fix. The more you wash sooner it
fades.
Q. Has it ever not faded away? A. No. Henna is a temporary skin dye. It always fades away.
Q. What colour will the design be? A. The colour of the stain you get using any natural henna paste
is reddish brown. Variations in colour depend on your skin tone and skin
type.
Q. How long does the paste take to dry? A. The henna paste dries in 10 to 15 minutes. Larger designs take longer to dry.
Q. How long do I have to leave the paste on? A. A minimum of two hours. The longer you leave it on, the better.
Q. How do I take the paste off? A. Simply peel the dried paste off, dip a cotton bud in some olive oil or Avocado oil and take off the remainder of the dried paste.
