The longer it stays on the skin, the longer the design will last. Colored henna paste includes but is not limited to Black , Red , Blue , Green , Aqua and Purple and Violet colors. Natural Henna paste left on the skin in a moist state continues to stain the skin. If painting or doing stencils on the upper arms, fore arms or ankles, wrapping the area with 3M Micropore tape does wonders for protecting the henna and keeping it moist. As long as the client doesn't get wet, they can wear the tape for several hours, even overnight.
Colored henna is different than natural henna.
It contains henna mixed with safe vegetable grade food dyes, water, tartaric acid, and alcohol. The coloring used is very similar to traditional Tattoo ink and looks like a real tattoo for a few days up to a week if taken care of properly. There are no harmful chemicals or PPD's in our colored henna pastes. Our products are proven safe and are manufactured specifically for the skin. Black henna powder is grown for the purpose of dyeing the hair.
