How to apply henna on the hair
1. You can use gloves on your hand or an applicator bottle to put henna on your hair. That depends on your preference.
2. Henna should be allowed to sit for about one hour after mixture to allow dye release.
3. Henna should be left for about 1 to 8 hours on hair. Henna can also be left overnight on your hair. The longer you leave it on, the more colour you will get out of it.
4. Henna application is messy so wear old things that you don’t mind getting stained.
5. When the henna mixture is on your hair wear a plastic cap and tie your hair with a scarf.
6. Henna treatment should be done 6-8 weeks interval.
7. Henna can be applied to wet or dry hair but don’t apply on dirty hair.
8. Deep condition your hair after hair treatment.
