: : Hi All
: :
: : I have a question please for anyone that can give a good answer.
If
: : you are applying henna to clients one after the other....do you
: make
: : the client sit and wait till the henna dries and then dab
: sugar/lemon
: : and then wrap it for them...or do you let clients leave with
paste
: : still wet? Basically HOW do you prevent clients spoiling your
: designs
: : by wearing there clothes or smearing the design while getting
: home????
:
: I just let 'em walk. Sometimes I don't do any sealing. If I take
: goop, I tell them to come back in 15 minutes if they want the
: sealant. However, I've noticed that this leaves me open to
spending
: alot more time on repair work. If they just leave and don't have
the
: option of goop they don't return for fixes. When I do this I just
: tell them that the design will last 5-7 days as opposed to the 2-3
: weeks of "overnight" henna.

We dont use any sealant at all but we have a tested and reliable
aftercare which does make the henna last longer.

I dont believe that sealant makes the design last longer it only
gives a darker color than without sealant.

Basically the rule is loook after the skin. Mosturise the area. Dont
rub with a towel after showering. Cover with a waterproof cream
before showering or swimming....Vasaline is good but however as a
petroleum product it can also enhance exfoliation.

Sunblock works the best.....kids sunblock....waterproof as hell -
aint nothing getting through that!

This is tested and we tell everyone to do this. With exception of
hand work we find this works and helps the design last longer.
Problem with hands and feet is the clothing rubbing and the amount
of times you actually put your hands in water! For this work we say
max 10days
