    The best way to draw henna on your skin is to pipe it through a piping bag. Add henna to the bag, cut a small opening and use it to make delicate designs. Make sure there are no lumps or air bubbles that restrict flow of the henna inside the bag.

    Practice applying on paper so that your lines have a steady flow and designs are continuous and intricate. Remember that thin lines usually look nicer.

  • Question
    I heard I could use regular white glue and food dye. Is that true?
    Community Answer
    Sure, but it's not real henna; it's just a temporary tattoo. It won't last as long, either, and you'll need quite a bit of dye.
  • Question
    Do I rub the henna after it is dry or do I get it off with water?

    You can do it either way. I normally prefer washing my hands because then my hands are clean but if you just wipe it all off you will make a big mess. Moreover, your design can get smudged if it is still wet. So that is why I prefer washing it off with water and I would suggest you to do that.

    Yes. It will work perfectly fine but there might be harsh chemicals inside, so check the packaging first.

    Start with henna cones that are easy to use and provide consistent results. Popular henna cone brands that are suitable for beginners include Hemani, Nidra and Neeta Mehndi. These brands offer pre-mixed henna paste in cones, which can be more convenient for beginners. Additionally, they are known for their smooth consistency and dark staining properties. Check product reviews and ingredient lists to ensure they meet your preferences and to alert you to any potential allergens.
