Dont's
- Do not use an oily soap as this can prevent the colour from setting properly
- After the tattoos are applied avoid washing the area with soap or water for atleast 4-5 hours
- Avoid staying close to the air conditioner as it dries up the MEHENDI/HEENA
- Don’t scrap off the dried henna paste intentionally, let it flake off on it`s own.
- Avoid too much movement of the part of the body the henna is applied,as there are chances you might dash into someone and smudge it all over.
