Basic Henna typically lasts one to three weeks, depending on skin type, placement, and daily activities. Hands and feet often stain darker and last longer. Avoid frequent washing, exfoliation, and chlorine to preserve the design; moisturize with natural oils for better longevity.

Natural henna paste can transfer when wet, so avoid contact with clothing until fully dry. After full drying and initial color development, most transfer risk reduces. Use sleeve protectors or paper towels during setting to prevent accidental staining of garments.
