How to Apply Henna Paste and Care for Your New Art
Lightly squeeze your tube, cone or bottle and apply the henna paste like paint. The smaller the opening at the end of your applicator, the thinner the line you’ll be able to create. Don’t worry about not being able to make a smooth line. If it “breaks,” just start again where it broke off. Remember, it’s only the stain left behind that matters in the end, not how the paste looks on the skin. Try not to apply the paste too heavily or thickly, because that will slow down your drying time.
