Magic Formula: Time & Heat – Water = Dark Henna Stain
Henna stains typically last 5-7 days or longer, while jagua stains last 1-2 weeks, depending on skin type, placement, and aftercare. Proper care can help extend the stain's life.
Henna stains the skin in shades of orange to reddish-brown, while jagua leaves a blue-black stain resembling a real tattoo. Both are natural dyes and safe when used correctly.
Make sure the skin is clean, dry, and free of lotions or oils before the session. Exfoliating the area gently beforehand can help the stain adhere better.
Avoid water on your henna design for at least 8 hours after application. Let the paste stay on for 4-10 hours, then remove it gently with oil. You can apply a sealant (lemon & sugar) after your paste is dry to help to darken the stain. For jagua, let the gel dry completely, and wash off gently after approximately 4 hours with soap and warm water. (avoid scrubbing the area)
The stain color for henna typically starts as a light orange when the paste is first removed. Over the next 24–48 hours, it darkens to a rich reddish-brown shade, depending on factors such as skin type, body area, and aftercare. The darkest stains usually appear on thicker, warmer skin areas like the palms and soles
