How to Store Henna Paste

The quality of the henna paste all depends on how it is stored. First, if you purchase henna paste from the shelf of the store, this henna is not 100% natural. These types of henna cones are filled with chemicals because 100% natural henna will go bad if kept out for too long. These are the steps you want to take to store your henna paste:

1. Purchase quality zip seal plastic bags.
Zip seal plastic bags will protect the henna cones from overly frosting while in the freezer. The gallon sized bags can hold a multitude of comes at once.

2. Use Natural Henna Paste Only
If you purchase chemical based henna, there is no point in even taking into consideration the importance of storing henna. This type of henna, which is harmful, doesn't require any special storing tips. Natural henna paste, which is a mix of henna powder, essential oils, and sugar, will need to be frozen when not in use.

3. Freeze Your Henna Paste
Upon purchasing or mixing your own paste, you'll want to place your cones in a zip seal plastic bag and place it in the freezer. This is where your henna should be when it's not being used. If left out for too long, the paste will go bad and lose its dyeing properties.

4. Thaw 30 Minutes Before An Appointment
If you have a henna appointment, the best thing to do is to take your cone out at least 30 minutes prior to the start of your henna usage. This will allow thawing time, and freshness of the paste when it's time to apply it.
