What's in the Henna Kit? 

I have hand made each henna kit for the ease of learning, with simplicity and fun. I tried my best to keep it simple, while giving as much knowledge for success as possible. Henna is such an in depth and creative pursuit, there are many things to learn so for now, we focus on meditating with the art of henna and getting a grip on the basics.

Each henna kit includes all you need to learn how to henna at home...
Practice Cone - This is a cone filled with lotion! It's the perfect practice for easy to rub in designs that wont stain the skin. Great for a beginner who just wants to work directly on the skin! Also great for practice on the holographic practice sleeve as it wipes away easily with a paper towel. 

Tips and Tricks - to help you learn how to henna, as well as learn the art of meditation!

Spotify Playlist - To help you get in the ZONE! And great for meditation or spiritual practices. This is still updated from time to time, too.

Small Talismans - to help create intentions and reminders for mediations. These are all unique to each box, so what you receive, is what the universe has called in for you! 

Henna Cone - Actual henna! Once you feel ready, its henna time! Everyone learns on a different curve so just do what feels natural to you. Don't try to rush, but remember to be brave! Don't be too afraid, henna looks beautiful in all ways. Plus, staring at a piece you drew on your hand for a few days can really help you appreciate your talents, and learn how to build more talent. There will be pieces you want to change, maybe you'll know how to change them immediately and it will click. Other times you'll study the design and it can take a few days to decide what to do to improve the design. It's a lovely way to enjoy and connect with your artistic and creative side! You can also request more cones to come with your henna kit if you wish, $5 for each additional cone. 

Once Your Henna Kit Arrives 

If you pick up your henna kit directly from me, or if it is shipped to you, there are a few things to know! Number one is that you'll need to place your henna cone into the freezer until you are ready to use it. The practice cone is fine at room temp. There are detailed directions in the kit on how this works but I wasn't able to explain why it is necessary, so I will here. The basic answer is that henna is a natural plant product and will go bad over time, like any food. There are also natural essential oils in henna that will demise and go bad over time, making the henna usable, but you won't get a great stain from it. This is a great situation if you're still wanting to practice and don't mind a stain that lasts just 5 days instead of 14.
