Instructions
Things You’ll Need:

How to Apply Henna
Step1
Scrub the area of skin where henna will be applied with soap and warm water. Then rub the area with alcohol. This exfoliates the skin and allows the henna to better penetrate and last longer.
Step2
Slowly apply even lines of henna paste by gently squeezing the applicator bottle or mylar cone. Rest the weight of your hand on your little finger to help maintain a steady line.
Step3
Make your lines as smooth and consistent as possible. Doing so will give you the best and most attractive results.
Step4
The applicator tip should not touch the skin but should be held just above it. The paste should sit on the skin in a nice round line, like string.
