The more knowledge you have about makeup, the better (and more inclusive) your services will be!\n\nThe best way to broaden your training is with makeup classes.

The less organic the ingredients are, the worse the quality of the final product will be.\n\nIn recent years, it\u2019s become a bit of trend \u2013 particularly in Western culture \u2013 to buy pre-mixed Henna cones. While this is undoubtedly a bit more convenient, we recommend against doing this. If you buy a pre-made concoction, you\u2019ll have no way of knowing exactly what\u2019s gone into the mixture. Furthermore, you won\u2019t be able to control the ratios, the consistency, or create the ideal cone for application.\n\nInstead, your best bet is to purchase fresh Henna powder, and mix it yourself. Typically, this powder will be mixed with water and oils (such as eucalyptus oil, henna oil, and\/or black clove oil). There are also plenty of ways for you to create the Henna cone yourself. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0kH4eiDAYRE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">This YouTube video<\/a>, for example, breaks the steps down in an easy-to-follow tutorial.\n\nWhen researching into where to purchase your Henna powder, make sure to be thorough. There are tons of sellers out there who claim to offer high-quality powder, when in reality, it\u2019s anything but! What you want to look for is a Henna powder that\u2019s marketed as \u201cbody art quality\u201d.\n\nThis specific type of powder is ground into very fine particles, so that when mixed with water and oils, it turns into a smooth mixture that creates a beautiful finish \u2013 without losing its texture and clogging up the opening of your Henna cone.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h4>Pro Tip: If your makeup classes are teaching you how to do Henna <i>tattoos <\/i>(that is, Henna designs on the skin), make sure to stay away from \u2018Neutral Henna\u2019.

If the powder is a strong green hue, it\u2019s supposed to be of higher quality.\n\nThe problem is, many scammers have caught onto this fact, and have found a way to create fake (but convincing) alternatives. For instance, they may lace their Henna powder with green dyes in order to replicate the authentic, bright green color.\n\nSo, how do you know who to trust when buying your Henna powder?\n\nDo your research! Never purchase any Henna powder whose ingredients aren\u2019t openly listed for you to see. Only buy pure Henna powder that doesn\u2019t contain chemical additives. And when looking into potential sellers, do as thorough of a background check on them as you can!\n\nRead reviews, scour their website, search for them on social media. There are plenty of online chat groups and forums you can look into, where other Henna artists may recommend trusted suppliers.\n\nThe bottom line is: never purchase your materials from a supplier unless you\u2019re confident in their product.

On top of that, you need to allow your Henna mixture to sit for at LEAST 6 hours before you can apply it to your client\u2019s skin.\n\nAnything less, and it may not stain the skin properly, have the desired color, or last as long before fading.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;41804&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]To ensure your client gets the best results, let your Henna mixture rest for as long as possible.

This will help determine whether or not your client\u2019s skin will react well with your Henna mixture.\n\nCould you imagine if you skipped this step, started applying the Henna all over your client\u2019s hand, and she suddenly broke out into a severe allergic reaction? Such negligence could spell the end of your career!\n\nHenna artists find that the inner part of your client\u2019s wrist is the optimal spot to do a patch test. Simply apply a bit of your Henna mixture, and then advise her to keep an eye on it over the days to follow. Specifically, she needs to note if she experiences any irritation, swelling, or redness.\n\nThis is also a perfect opportunity for her to get a real feel for what she can expect from a full Henna application! Let her know what to expect in terms of the color changes the Henna will undergo over the next few days. She may find that the final result is exactly what she was expecting! Alternately, she may discover that it\u2019s different than she originally thought it\u2019d be.\n\nAll of this is why a patch test is so crucial! Ideally, you\u2019ll want to perform it during the <a href=\"\/2015\/06\/how-to-conduct-your-first-makeup-client-consultation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">initial consultation<\/a>. It\u2019s best for you and your client to know as early on as possible whether you can provide the service she\u2019s looking for.
