How to use white henna?
Clean the area where mehendi is to be applied. Shake the bottle or cone before applying henna. Now apply your favorite design on your body with the paste. When the wet henna dries on your hands, it will form a temporary adhesive layer. You can also add glitter to the design, just make sure it’s wet when you apply it. Once the henna paste dries, gently remove the glitter with a brush. The paste will no longer stick to your body and leaves a durable waterproof coating.

White henna is safe to apply on your skin, it does not contain PPDs, ammonia or other types of chemicals. But still use it on hands or skin only after doing a patch test.
