How do you keep a henna cone perfect?
Grasp the mehndi cone between your pointer and middle finger in your dominant hand. The cone should rest in between your middle finger and your thumb. Try to position the cone like you would a writing utensil. Your thumb should be the finger that is controlling the pressure on the cone.
Do you have to cut the tip of a henna cone?
To use your Henna Caravan Natural Henna Cone: Carefully cut a tiny bit off the tip of the cone, straight across.

As the henna dries, it can begin to crack and pop off; we want to prevent that from happening.
Why is my henna cone not working?
This is generally because the skin was not clean when the henna was applied. Lotions, sweat, hair products, and anything else on the skin will be a barrier between the skin cells and henna causing a lighter henna stain. Make sure the skin is completely clean before applying henna.
How long should I leave henna on?
Leave the henna on as long as possible! The longer you leave the henna on, the darker the color will be and the longer it will last. Leave it on a minimum of 1 hour; overnight is best.
