PREPARE THE SKIN PROPERLY
1) Cleanse with a mild cleanser that allows for some natural oil to remain.
2) Use Hennatician Alkaline Bath to properly balance the PH of the skin. This is truly a game changer for retention
3) Apply HEAT to the skin AFTER you map, just prior to applying your first application of Henna.Use WARM distilled water to rewet (we recommend a Nano Mister for this) and don’t be afraid to apply heat during the drying time. Henna loves heat so heat activates!
4) Prep your Henna properly! This is a VERY saturated and pigmented product. You should only be using a PEA SIZED amount at most per treatment, mix thoroughly with a pigment mixer using WARM DISTILLED water and allow to steep for a minimum 5 minutes (like your favorite cup of tea) 💖 Never use tap or regular bottled mineral water to mix henna, it must be distilled.
5) Getting Henna into dense brows: Adding a little bit more distilled water to the mixture to make more liquid really helps getting the henna into these challenging areas, and really rub it into those areas going against and into the flow of the natural hair with a fine point microbrush. The opposite will be true for clients with little/no brow hair or to apply freckles, use less warm distilled water to create more of a paste.
