WATCH FOR PACKAGE DELIVERY AND PLACE CONES IN FREEZER UPON ARRIVAL.**

PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY: IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS!

My hengua cones are homemade with BAQ 5x sifted organic Rajasthani henna powder, organic jagua (Genipa Americana) berry juice, organic tea tree essential oil, and organic cane sugar for amazing consistency and a rich brown stain! This hengua mix takes the reddish color of natural henna and darkens it with the deep blue-black juice of the jagua berry, for a deep burgundy/brown stain. 
The fine tip on these cones makes it perfect for beginners and pros alike. Each cone comes with a glasshead pin inside the tip, which you just remove when using. To preserve the hengua cone, keep the pin in the tip and place it in the freezer. It could last over 8 months in the freezer depending on how often you thaw it out.
Weighing at least 25grams, each cone can create at least 20 simple hand designs. Purchases of 10 cones or more are packaged with an ice pack for transit. Watch for delivery of your cones and place them in the freezer upon arrival, ESPECIALLY during hot summer months! I recommend always choosing express/overnight shipping methods but ESPECIALLY in the hot summer months please! The quality of your stain depends on it! Hengua releases dye SO fast at warm temperatures; you don’t want a dead hengua cone arriving to your door. 

If you have a sensitivity/allergy to tea tree essential oil, reach out to me as I make my batches fresh and can use a different essential oil. See FAQs page for more information on customized orders, minimum $30 purchase.

ALL ABOUT STAIN-DARKENING KITS:

The Stain-darkening Kit come with everything I personally use to ensure a long-lasting and rich stain whenever applying henna, hengua mix, or notblack henna. 

The sealant spray (which is just the perfect blend of sugar, water and lemon juice) keeps the paste moisturized and stuck to your skin so it doesn't flake off. This moisture allows the paste to continue releasing henna dye for a long time. Mefix tape is the perfect breathable covering that sticks on top of dry henna, hengua mix, or notblack henna designs to protect the paste from falling off either through daily activities or before bed (if you'd like to keep your paste on overnight).

KEEP IN MIND SEALANT SPRAY IS NOT TO BE USED WITH JAGUA GEL AS IT WILL MAKE THE GEL START RUNNING AND RUIN YOUR DESIGN.

SMALL KIT contains:

-(6) 10x10cm mefix tape

-(10)mL refillable sealant spray

For reference: a small stain-darkening kit’s mefix can cover 6 palm-size designs, or 3 full-hand-to-wrist designs, or 2 arm-length designs.

HOW TO USE A KIT:

After a henna/hengua mix/notblack henna design has dried to the touch (meaning it is not tacky or wet) which is about 20 mins after application, spray the sealant liberally over the design to re-wet the paste. You can re-spray as many times as you would like after each 20 mins (although you do not need more than 2 applications).

After a design has dried completely (but before it is beginning to flake off) which is about 30-40 mins after application (or 30-40 mins after spraying it last), you can cut the mefix tape into smaller pieces to stick onto your skin. Cover your design completely before crazy activities or before going to bed with a design on. After 8 hours you are free to peel the mefix tape off and watch as most of the paste comes off too.
