Aftercare depends on the henna product, application and individual skin. Follow the artist’s instructions for the specific paste used, and ask about ingredients if you have sensitivities.
Let the paste dry undisturbed
Avoid rubbing or smudging fresh paste. Ask your artist how long to leave it on and how they recommend removing it; instructions can vary by product and technique.
Protect the design from friction
After removal, minimise immediate washing and friction if your artist recommends it. The stain develops over time and its final appearance can vary by skin, placement and other factors.
Ask before application
Tell the artist about known skin sensitivities and ask what product will be used. Stop use and seek medical help if a significant reaction occurs.
Questions to ask about the paste
Ask which product is being applied and follow the artist's specific drying and removal instructions. If you have a known sensitivity, raise it before application. Avoid assuming that a technique seen in a social video is suitable for the product used at your appointment.
Plan for photos and the event
Tell the artist when you expect to take close-up photos and when the event begins. Lighting, skin tone and camera processing can all change how a stain appears in pictures. Keep a record of the product instructions and contact the artist with questions about the particular application.
