How to Apply Heena Design

Applying the Henna

1. Wash the skin with soap and water. Apply some rubbing alcohol with a cotton ball if the skin is particularly oily.
2. Position the tip of your plastic henna cone over the skin. 
   • Apply gentle pressure with your thumb to the top of the cone, just beneath the rubber band, to dispense the henna through the tip of the cone.
    
   • If the henna does not dispense easily, you can clip the tip of the cone with fingernail clippers to enlarge the opening. Just remember to make very small cuts so that you don't overdo it.
    
   
3. Create your design. You can create your own original design or look at books or online templates for inspiration. 
   • The hands and feet will stain darker than other parts of the body because the skin on the extremities is thicker.
    
   • The neck and face do not tend to stain well because the skin there is naturally thin and oily.
