Add boiling water to the henna powder. Mix to a paste. Allow the henna paste to rest for 2–12 hours.

Hair:

Apply the henna into the hair. Cover the hair with a shower cap and leave it for 2–4 hours. Rinse and wash with shampoo.

Hands, fingernails and feet:

Apply a thick coat of henna paste on hands, nails and feet with the tip of a brush or a wooden stick. Let the paste dry. The longer henna stays on, the darker it will become.
