ABOUT WHITE HENNA

​Introduction to White Henna:

​

  • First of all 'White henna' is not henna.

  • ‘White henna’ is a white skin adhesive paste and body paint which can be applied with a cone. This paste will remain sticky until the surface is sealed with powder. When it is sealed, the ‘white henna’ will be waterproof(if not scrubbed) and last 1-2 days if good care taken.

  • If a person has an allergy to adhesives, test a small patch on the skin before working over a large area.

​

How To Apply White Henna:

​

  • Apply ‘white henna’ with a cone, just as you would apply traditional henna. Fine, delicate lines will give you a better result than thick lines. Thicker will dry very slowly and peel faster.

  • Ten minutes later, when the ‘white henna’ is tacky but not wet to touch, sprinkle some Corn starch powder on white henna, Brush away the excess powder with a large, soft brush until the powder only remains on the ‘white henna’ and is no longer on the skin.

​

Why to Use White Henna:

​

  • Henna is not the perfect body art medium for every situation.Henna is best for hands, feet, lower arms and legs. 

  • People who dont want the skin to be stained for several days can have white henna for party or a day function like marriage.

Is it Safe, though it not natural?

​

DO's AND DONT's for White henna:

​

  • Avoid hairy, sweaty, or oily areas.

  • Avoid places which are rubbed by use or by clothing.
