ARM AND HAND DESIGN

Service Description

Overview: The Natural Henna on Arm and Hand service offers an elegant and temporary form of body art using natural henna paste. This service covers both the hand and the arm with intricate and personalized designs, perfect for special occasions or as a unique expression of style. Henna, derived from the leaves of the henna plant, is a safe and natural dye that leaves a beautiful reddish-brown stain on the skin. Procedure: Consultation: The session begins with a consultation to discuss your design preferences, the level of intricacy, and any specific motifs or cultural patterns you desire. The artist may show you a portfolio of previous designs to inspire your choice and help tailor the design to your liking. Preparation: The hand and arm are thoroughly cleaned to ensure the henna adheres properly to the skin. Any oils, lotions, or dirt are removed to provide a clean surface for the henna application. Henna Application: Using a fine-tipped applicator or henna cone, the artist applies the henna paste in intricate patterns starting from the fingertips, covering the hand, and extending up the arm. This process can take from 1 to 2 hours or more, depending on the complexity and extent of the design. Drying and Setting: After the application, the henna design needs time to dry and set. This typically takes about 20-30 minutes. The artist may apply a lemon-sugar solution to the dried henna to keep it moist and help deepen the colour. The paste should ideally be left on the skin for several hours or overnight for the best results. Aftercare Instructions: After the paste dries and naturally falls off, you will receive aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible stain. Avoid water and friction on the design for the first 24 hours to allow the stain to develop fully and darken. Benefits: Natural and Safe: Henna is a natural dye free from harmful chemicals, making it safe for most skin types. Temporary: The henna design gradually fades over 1-3 weeks, allowing you to change designs frequently. Cultural and Artistic Expression: Henna designs can be deeply personal and culturally significant, offering a unique way to express yourself. Relaxing Experience: The application process is calming and enjoyable, providing a moment of relaxation.
