HOW TO USE
We suggest pre-filling your applicators or dividing in to single serving sizes and storing in the freezer to preserve freshness, so you can just defrost what you need for the day. Fill your preferred applicator with fresh paste and start drawing!
Henna paste is perishable! Store in the freezer up to 6 month. Defrost at room temperature 15 minutes prior to use.
To use your Henna Caravan Bulk Natural Henna Paste
You'll need to decide your storage plan - will you toss the entire bag in the freezer or pre-fill your applicators and freeze them in bulk?- Freezing pre-filled cones or bottles is a great option. Just take out the applicators you'll need for the day and the rest stays nicely frozen and in perfect condition in the freezer. The paste will begin to demise or 'go bad' with multiple freezing and defrost cycles so you'll get the best results if you can keep henna in the freezer till you need it.
- Bulk bags of paste may be safely frozen. Defrost for about 1 hour when you're ready to fill your applicators.
Ready to draw!
- Holding your applicator and gently squeeze
- Place the tip not quite touching the skin to lay down nice even lines without a "scratchy" texture.
- Vary your squeeze/pressure to control line width and flow.
- Once your design is complete, you can poof a bit of cosmetic glitter powder on top to add some shimmery color for the day.
- Allow design to dry for 15-30 minutes or until dry to the touch.
- Once dry it’s time to seal your henna design. As the henna dries, it can begin to crack and pop off; we want to prevent that from happening. Use your choice of Aftercare Sealant Spray or Medical Tape to secure your henna. Do not use both.
- To remove paste, gently flake off over a trash can or tub. Avoid washing with water. If sticky and stubborn, use coconut or vegetable oil to remove any residue.
- Enjoy your custom one of a kind henna design! It will be a bright orange at first and slowly darken over 48 hours. It will slowly fade away as your skin exfoliates.
- Henna stains last 7-10 days, longest on hands and feet.
- To keep henna stains looking their best avoid water for the first 24 hours, apply a coat of Aftercare Balm or coconut oil generously to protect when bathing/swimming.
Shipping estimates are provided by the USPS and are not a guarantee of delivery time.
Why is fast shipping needed? Once henna paste is mixed, it needs to rest for 24-72 hours for the dye release and then it should be used that day or stored in the freezer to preserve freshness. Lengthy delivery times with First Class shipping mean the henna will arrive past its peak. Once it hits its 'peak' it will slowly begin to demise and go bad. Storing in the freezer slows down the demise process and keeps it fresh.
Domestic Orders: Due to the perishable nature of fresh henna paste, we suggest shipping via Priority Mail or Express Mail.
- First Class Mail is estimated 7-10 days in transit, may take up to 1+ month, no tracking. First Class is NOT recommended for perishable henna paste, or temperature sensitive HennaGlam & Body Glues, the long transit time means the paste will arrive past its prime and the adhesives will likely be ruined.
- Priority Mail is estimated 2-5 days in transit.
- Express Mail is guaranteed 2 days in transit. We only guarantee paste that is shipped via Express Mail as this insures it arrives quickly and in perfect condition.
INTERNATIONAL ORDERS: Premixed paste is perishable. The longer delivery times for international orders means the paste will arrive past its prime. We prefer to send you henna powder, oils, and our recipe so you may make fresh paste at home and be guaranteed lovely fresh product. We can't guarantee the results of paste shipped internationally due to the longer time in transit and customs delays.
Shipping rates on the website are approximate, wholesale/bulk orders, large or odd shaped items may require more postage and we will contact you to make arrangements. In the event you are overcharged on the shipping estimate we will issue a refund.
All U.S. orders ship via US Postal Service.
