Your gloves that come with your order will also show you a bright orange stain showing you the vibrant dye of your henna paste.

We’ve got an awesome tip on how to check if you henna paste is ready for use. It is fool proof, and ensures the best henna results to both color your hair naturally or use for henna body art designs.

  • Once your henna paste is nearing the ending of its dye release time (which can range from 6 to 24 hours, depending on which henna powder you are using), take a little bit of the henna paste and place it onto your palm.

Dye Release: How much time is needed?

  • Allow the paste to sit on your palm for about 1 minute.
  • Then wash it off.
  • If the stain left by the henna paste is bright pumpkin orange, then you know your henna paste is perfectly ready to use.
  • TIPS: Once your paste is ready, you must use it or put it away in the freezer. Too many times have I had people emailing us to tell us something went wrong with their paste, and come to find out they didn’t do the fool proof test nor did they put it into the freezer after it was done (if they needed it for use at a later time). YOU MUST PUT your fresh henna paste into the freezer after it is ready unless you plan on using it right away. This preserves the dye and therefore you can use it again as needed. Fresh henna paste lasts for 6-12 months in the freezer. Please use proper freezer bags or our carrot bags to store your cones or henna paste.
