I make my own paste using organic Sojat leaves, eucalyptus, and clove oil, completely free from chemicals. It takes a little longer to set than typical store-bought cones, but the result is a beautiful, dark mahogany stain that lasts. When you book me, you are getting a design that is safe for your skin and rich in color. ### My Natural Henna Process I treat my henna paste like a recipe. I never use pre-made cones or chemical-laden mixtures. By blending fresh Sojat leaves with high-grade eucalyptus and clove oil, I control exactly what touches your skin. This is particularly important for brides and moms-to-be who need safe, natural products. The result is a stain that develops into a deep mahogany color within 24 to 48 hours. ### Why the Stain Matters The stain is the final proof of the quality of the work. To get that signature dark color, the henna needs to remain on the skin for a sufficient time. I always guide my clients on the post-application process: * **The Seal:** After the design is applied, I use a lemon-sugar spray to keep the dried henna in contact with your skin for longer. * **The Patience:** Keep the henna on for at least 6 to 8 hours. The longer it stays, the darker the stain. * **The Avoidance:** Keep water away from the area for the first 24 hours to let the color oxidize properly. ### Custom Details Beyond the ingredients, my process is about the story. Whether it is a silhouette for a baby shower or a portrait for a bride, I sketch directly on the skin. This allows me to adapt the layout to your specific hand size and preferences. If you have a specific date, initial, or pet silhouette you want to include, we will discuss that during the planning phase before the application begins. ## About Shravani Chavan I'm Shravani, and to me, mehendi is personal art. My back might ache after hours of intricate work, but that smile when you see your deep stain makes everything right. I am Mumbai-based and I take my henna mixing as seriously as the patterns I draw.
