It will last anywhere from 1 to 6 weeks depending on your body temperature level, where the henna is applied, and how often you wash the hennaed area. The more you wash your henna body art, the faster it will fade away. You can redo-it over to make it darker. However, the hennaed area won't take more than 4 to 5 times over. Nature's way to say enough!

You can peel off the paste as soon as it dries. This can be anywhere from 1 to 2 hours. However, the earlier you take the paste off, the lighter your henna design will be. We recommend that you leave the henna paste on for at least 3 hours or overnight if possible to get the darkest stain.

NO! Amena Imports does not use black henna. In fact, there is no such thing as black henna. Black henna has a chemical component called PPD. This chemical (Para-phenylenediamine) may cause an allergic reaction on the skin on anyone who comes in contact with it. If you'd like to read more about reactions to PPD related allergies, go here. We do not use any chemicals in our products. We only use organic, 100% natural henna powder, which does not penetrate under your epidermis. You should always ask the henna artist what is in his/her paste prior to purchasing any body art.

A natural henna design is copper-orange to reddish-brown. Henna will start off orange and then darken within the first 24-48 hours. There are no other colors to a henna design. We do not use colors because the only way to obtain them is by adding chemicals that dye the henna. We do not recommend colored henna.

YES! Henna has been used in hair for centuries in Asia and the Middle East to nourish and dye hair. It is the only 100% natural hair dye. It also works as a very good conditioner. The dyed hair with henna gives a red to brown color tone depending on your original/natural hair color. We recommend that you first perform a strand test before you apply it on your entire head.
