Creative Days only uses 100% natural and organic Henna, made at my home, by me!!

 

Henna is a flowering plant that has been used for centuries to dye the skin, hair, and clothing. The henna plant is often traded as a powder made by milling and sifting the leaves, after which the powder is mixed with a different variation of natural and organic ingredients such as water, lemon, sugar, tea, coffee, cinnamon, cajeput, cardamom and essential oils (just to name a few). I make my Henna with filtered water, lavender oil and sugar.

 

Henna is applied as a paste and dries after about 40 mins. Left on the skin for 4 - 12 hours; the longer the paste is on the skin, the deeper and darker the stain will be and the longer it will last. Heat is hennas friend, some people will use a blow dryer on their Henna or even sit by the warmth of a fire to help deepen the dye into the skin. After the paste is scraped of it will leave a yellow-orange color that will be left on the skin and will darken over the next 48 hours. The stain will keep for 7 - 10 days and will gradually fade away.

 

Henna will last the longest on thicker, dry skin such as hands and feet, and will fade more quickly on thinner skinned areas such as arms, chest, and back. As your skin exfoliates and regenerates, your henna design will completely disappear. To obtain the best possible stain apply the paste to hands and feet, keep the area very warm, and leave the paste on at least 8 hours.
 

"Black henna" is NEVER used by Creative Days!!! "Black henna" or henna that claims to dye your skin purple, pink, blue or black is chemical based and could cause serious harm!! Run away!! Please use only safe and natural brown henna!!
