HOW TO APPLY HENNA ON HAIR?

Now that you have learned how to mix henna hair packs, it’s time for us to discuss how to apply henna on hair. Read the following step-by-step guide on how to apply henna to your hair properly.

Step 1: Before applying henna, you need to wash your hair with a mild shampoo. Do not use a conditioner as it can prevent henna from penetrating. Apply come coconut or petroleum jelly to your forehead, neck, and ears to prevent staining. To protect your hands and nails, wear gloves.

Step 2: Part your hair in the center after combing it thoroughly to remove all the tangles. Take a small section about 2 inches wide of hair from the topmost layer and apply henna paste liberally from the roots towards the tips using a brush. Make sure you cave the hair well. Do the same on the other sections of the hair too.

Step 3: As you move from one section to the other, twist the applied section and wrap it into a bun. You can use a clip or pin to secure it.

Step 4: Once you covered all the sections and made sure the entire hair is applied evenly, take a plastic wrap and cover your hair. This wrap will help henna to set as the cling plastic will help in keeping the henna warm and moist.

Step 5: To remove the henna, flip your hair over and pour some warm water over your hair and massage the henna off with a scalp massager comb. This helps in removing any gritty pieces of henna, But, you have to be gentle when you do this. To get the remaining henna out of your hair, use a conditioner. Rinse the hair with lukewarm or cold water.

Henna takes over 24 to 48 hours to develop properly. Initially, it appears orange, but don’t worry as the color will deepen later.
