Where To Buy Henna
Before you start henna designs, you will need to buy the right henna. Henna comes in loose powder or readymade cones. The loose powder has to be mixed in with water or you can add lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, strong black coffee, or tea, to bring out a more intense color. It is then best left to develop the color for a few hours or overnight. You can buy loose henna powder from Here.
Before you start henna patterns, put the henna mixture into paper cones, which you can make yourself, or buy ready-made empty cones. We like these empty hand-rolled cellophane cones or even these transparent cones
If you prefer to buy ready-made cones, then try these henna cones.
Once you have your henna ready you are ready to start. Before you start decorating your hands, we would recommend practicing on paper first, once you are confident, then start decorating your hands to your heart’s desire.
After you have applied the henna to your hands, leave it to develop on your hands or where ever you have applied it for a few hours. After an hour or so it will dry up, but it’s still best to leave it for 3 to 4hours to get intense color. When you wash it off, the color might not look so dark, but after a day it will darken, depending on what henna you have used as henna from different countries and places gives different depths of color.

Now that you know how to apply the henna, here are some simple and easy henna designs for you to copy. Some designs are more easier to copy than others. Practice is the key, first practice on paper a few times and when you are confident then try on your hand.
