: 1. Once henna has been applied through a stencil, do you leave the : stencil on until it dries or remove it while still wet? : 2. How are stencils attached to hands etc? I know some are sticky but : I gather some aren't, are those just sat on top, unstuck? : 3. Once the henna has dried and been removed, what should one apply : to the stained skin? I've read of mustard oil, eucalyptus oil or clove : oil, is one thing better than another? : 4. Is 'black henna' some variety of henna or henna mixed with : something? : 5. What is henna oil? : Thanks in advance for any replies and I'd like to say that this is a : fabulously informative site and I'm most impressed and grateful f I'm still learning about mehndi but hope this helps, I use stencils on my right hand as I'm right handed and can't apply designs well with my left. Leave the stencil on until the paste is FULLY dry. All of the stencils I use have a sticky back but you must make sure they are applied with no wrinkles or gaps, otherwise your design will be blurred. I use eucaliptus oil which to my knowledge is also called henna or mehndi oil. Can't help you with the other questions, hope someone else can
