Henna aftercare for a darker stain

Henna stains best when the paste stays moist and in contact with the skin for as long as possible. Our henna sealant and micropore tape keep the paste in place and protect the design from smudging on clothes and bedding.

Henna sealant

Our henna sealant comes in an easy-to-use spray mist bottle. Lemon juice and sugar are the traditional way to seal henna: the sugar keeps the paste slightly tacky, and the fine mist means you only use a little, with none of the sticky mess of dabbing.

Let the paste dry for a few minutes until it is no longer wet.
Hold the bottle at a distance and mist lightly. Do not soak it, as wet paste can run and blur fine lines.
Let it dry, then repeat a few times while the paste is on.

Micropore tape

Hypoallergenic micropore tape is breathable and easy to tear, with no scissors needed. Once the paste is no longer sticky, lay strips over the design and press gently so the tape sits flat. Leave it on for several hours, or overnight, then peel it off slowly and scrape away the dried paste. It is especially useful on hands and feet, where paste is most likely to rub off. Do not wrap tape tightly around fingers or wrists.

Using both together

For the best results, mist the design with henna sealant, let it dry, then wrap it with tape to keep the paste in place overnight. Keep the design warm while the paste is on, and avoid water for the first few hours after removing it.

For jagua too

Covering dried jagua gel with micropore tape also gives better results. Our Advanced and Professional henna cone kits include a bottle of henna sealant, and you can read more aftercare tips in our natural henna guide.
