Hiya, here's mine, maybe if a few people post and we brainstorm we
will come up with the most fantastic after care leaflet ever!!!

CARING FOR YOUR HENNA DESIGN

Be very careful not to smudge the wet design. Leave uncovered. DO
NOT PICK IT OFF. Do not pull at the surrounding skin (for eg. if it
is at the top of your arm) to try and look at the design as this will
result in you disturbing the henna. BE PATIENT! (Some may flake off
naturally if you have a finer design). Leave the henna on your skin
overnight. The longer the dry henna is left on the skin, the darker
the colour will be and the longer it will last. In the morning
gentrly brush the dry henna off. Moisturise with a little olive
oil. Try not to let water tourch the design for 24 hours, (it won't
wash off, but if you avoid water, again the colour will be deeper.)
Moisturise the design twice a day. The colour of the henna will
darken from yellow/orange to a deep rich red/brown over the first 48
hours (this may be different for you depending on what henna you
use) If you go swimming protect your design with vaseline or a
plaster, as the chloring will bleach the colour.

Hope this is a bit helpful.

Will anyone share their written aftercare instructions with me?
