Our paste smells incredible, is smooth and creamy and stains beautifully.
Made with:
- Aegean Dream Hand-Rolled Henna Cones are made with our signature blend that contains Organic Cajeput, Wild Orange, and Lemongrass Essential Oils.
Each cone contains about 3/4 ounce of henna. We consider them "medium" sized cones, and are our preferred size to work with.
All of the work has been done for you. No fussing with powders, strange ingredients, or guessing measurements.
Henna is Perishable! Store cones for later use in the freezer, and defrost at room temperature for 15 minutes prior to use.
To use your Henna Caravan Natural Henna Cone:
- Carefully cut a tiny bit off the tip of the cone, straight across. (If you have an open tip cone, remove the pin and you're ready to go)
- Grasp the cone near the back/tail end.
- Gently apply pressure with your thumb, palm, and fingers. Everyone holds their cone in a unique way, so take time to find a comfortable position for your own hand. Some prefer to hold it more like a pastry bag or more like a pencil.
- Place the cone 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.
