clean the skin well before application
leave the henna on overnight!.
THen scrape it off, and avoid water for 24 hours!.
AFter that avoid rubbing it with clothes or shoes so the dyed layers of skin are not sloughed off!. Keep the skin moisturized with an oil product fromt he kitchen, like olive oil or corn oil or apricot oil!.
