Short version: Keep henna on as long as possible.

Let it dry and fall off by itself (DON’T WASH IT OFF!!). Avoid water for 24 hours.

Watch as color changes over next 2-3 days to a bright cherry-brown color.

Black Henna

We don’t do black henna and we will never accept client requests to do black henna. Black henna is a strong chemical dye (usually hair dye) used by some cultures to get a dark black henna design. It is also popular at tourist locations.

Some henna artists use chemical henna, which has ingredients similar to black henna, but mixed with real henna. That is also dangerous. We use only 100% natural ingredients for our henna pastes and all our henna is made by us.
