Henna in Winter

1/28/2019

 
It takes a little extra care, but that joyful red color is so satisfying in the grey-brown of winter:
​
  • The paste needs to be on the skin 4-6 hours Up this to 6-8 in winter
  • Henna LOVES heat. In cool / cold weather warm drinks, heating pads, electric blankets are all useful
  • Flake or 'scrub' off the paste instead of washing it off, Or use oil to loosen the dry paste.
  • Avoiding water for 24-48 hours really does make a difference!
  • "Sealing" or wrapping is effective. Sealant recipe below. Wrapping with a compression bandage, old sock, stripped cotton rags, and even TP are good. No plastic wrap: cling wraps trap moisture and cause lines to feather.
