How long does henna last?

Many people wonder how much henna keeps on the hair and how resistant the henna tattoo is.

How to use henna for hair

When dyeing hair, henna is practically not washed off. It is required only once a month to update the faded tone. But with each next application, the color becomes more saturated and deeper. This natural herb has a strengthening effect, which is a very useful procedure, unlike chemical paints.

Tattoo henna - how much keeps

Tattoo henna can disappear without a trace in less than a week, and can last for about a month. All this has a lot of explanations.

What determines the stability of the henna tattoo

When applying a pattern of heavily diluted henna in orange water, the tattoo will turn out to be faded and lasts no more than a week.

The best tattoo is obtained if you mix the following ingredients:

• Henna, diluted with water;
• Floured coffee beans or black tea;
• Lavender oil;
• Sugar, for strengthening and better absorption.

Such a tattoo will please its owner with saturated colors for at least three weeks, or even more than a month.

Tattooing henna is absolutely safe, painless and does not cause allergies. The picture gradually fades and eventually disappears completely.
