I personally don't like to do all that work on a client and then risk
it being ruined, so I try to convince them to stick around or come
back for lemon-sugar. Some people say that lemon-sugar
doesnt' do anything, but I disagree. On a physical level the
lemon-sugar keeps the paste hydrated so it doesn't crack and it
seals it onto the skin so that it won't come off until they take it off.
On a psychological level, when you do even minimum aftercare
like lemon-sugar, you show the person that it's important that
they take care of their henna; even if they don't come back for
lemon-sugar they understand that they must be careful not to
smudge it. I find that at least 3/4 of the people I henna come
back for lemon-sugar, or take a lemon-sugar soaked cotton ball
home with them.

As for wrapping, i usually don't do this unless the person
requests it, and I usually don't do it unless it's on a belly or back,
somewhere on the body where the henna needs to stay on
longer.
