How to Apply Henna Designs

A reader gently reminded me yesterday that although I had plenty of information on the site about how to create henna designs, how to mix the paste and how to make your own cones, I never explained how to apply it! Well, that has now been rectified. This step-by-step article shows you exactly how to apply your henna, how to cure the paste and then care for your design once finished.

Want to show off your homemade henna art? Email me your photos and if approved, I'll post it here on the site in the new henna gallery I'm working on.
