Steps for long lasting henna stain..

• Before henna application, ensure skin is free from oil and lotions.

• Henna paste should be on the skin for at least 4 hours till overnight for best results.

• Spray it with henna sealant (a mixture of sugar+water) to make the paste sticks on skin longer.

• Remove dried paste by scrapping it off with butter knife or natural oil (coconut oil etc.) for stubborn henna paste. DO NOT USE WATER.

• Apply natural balm (lip balm/vaseline etc.) before contacting with water for deep, dark and long lasting stain.

• Henna stain will transition from orange to brown over 24-48 hours after paste removal. DON'T PANIC upon removal.

• The colour will vary based on which park of the body, duration on the skin and aftercare.

Choose your Henna Artist wisely!

Every bride wants to be extra beautiful on their wedding day! Besides their gorgeous look (with the heavy makeup) and their elegant wedding gown, the next thing the guests would definitely see is their bridal henna. Who wouldn’t want to get compliments on your big day?

This post is specially dedicated to the Bride-to-bes! If you think you have “OCD” or you are a perfectionist like me, best advice is to find and choose your henna artist wisely especially for your joyous occasion. Why? I believe you wouldn't want things like this happening to you.

So, expect the unexpected. This would happen when you choose/agree on hiring the henna artist for your bridal henna without doing thorough research on their portfolio or previous works. Better be safe than sorry!

Here are some tips on how to choose your henna artist:

• Get their portfolio or photos from their social networks like Facebook or Instagram or their website (if any) to view their past bridal henna works.

• Ask for a Trial Henna on your hands to see if their design is to your liking.

• Check if the henna artist can satisfy your expectations (your preferred henna design).

• Read up on the reviews of their past works. A lot of good reviews means wait no more, hire them!

At the end of the day, it’s your wedding day, YOUR BIG DAY! Most of you would expect everything to be near-to-perfect. Especially for the bride, other than your makeup and your wedding gown, your bridal henna will also be one of the main attraction to your guests.

So, it’s best to choose your henna artist wisely before accepting them to be a part of your big day. Till the next entry!

XOXO,

Hazy
