HOW to prepare for the henna crown?
- Please make sure to consult your doctor before deciding upon getting a Henna crown. My henna paste will contain: organic Henna powder, organic sugar, distilled water and Lavender essential oil.
- Please let me know if you have any sensitivity issues with Lavender oil. Other options are Tea tree oil, Cajaput or Eucalyptus oil.
- Make sure your head is completely shaved and as close to the skin as possible.
- To add another fun element, contact a photographer friend and have a photo-shoot with your crown on!
- I apply henna crowns completely freehand. This gives us the option to include any symbols or elements that hold special meaning to you.

HOW do I care for the crown?
- Once the henna crown is applied, I'll spray a layer of sugar water. This helps the design stick better to the scalp.
- Keep the henna paste on as long as possible. I recommend 8 hours.
- Then, scrape off the paste with your finger or
- Use coconut oil (or Olive oil) to loosen tough spots.
- The paste leaves behind a pumpkin orange stain on the skin. The stain darkens by process of oxidization over the next 48 hours.
- Do not wash or scrub at the stain for another 24 to 48 hours. This is an important step to achieve a dark and long lasting henna stain.
HOW much does it cost to get a crown?
- Your first Henna crown application is $50!
- Any subsequent crown application is at a discounted price of $120 each.
