Frequently Asked

Natural henna is a plant-based paste made from the leaves of the henna plant. Zabardust Henna uses fresh, handcrafted henna. We never use black henna or products containing harmful dyes.

Henna begins drying within 15–30 minutes. For the best stain results, leave the paste on for at least 5–6 hours, or overnight when possible.

Natural henna typically lasts 1–3 weeks, depending on your skin type, placement, lifestyle, and aftercare.

Your henna stain will initially appear bright orange and gradually deepen into a rich reddish-brown over the next 24–48 hours. Final color varies depending on skin type, body placement, and aftercare.

Keep the paste on as long as possible, avoid water for the first 24 hours, and follow the aftercare instructions provided during your appointment.

Avoid swimming, long showers, hot tubs, and excessive water exposure for the first 24 hours. The less water your fresh stain encounters, the longer it will last.
