I’ve always thought that the right tools can transform your henna practice—from hobbyist to pro, from messy to magical. Whether you’re doing henna at home or working events, having a few reliable accessories on hand saves time, reduces frustration, and helps you create with confidence.

So today, I’m shining a light on some of the unsung heroes you’ll find in the Helpful Tools section of our online store. These aren’t flashy products—but once you start using them, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them!

✂️ Transfer Paper: Perfect Placement, Every Time

Not quite ready to freehand a tricky design? Doing a company logo that needs to be just right? Our transfer paper lets you sketch your design on the skin first, giving you a confidence boost and helping maintain symmetry. It's especially great for beginners!

Freehand henna is always faster, so the goal is to get there, but tracing creates muscle memory. Transfer paper can be part of the journey to get there!

🥄 Measuring Spoons: Small but Mighty

When blending essential oils into your henna paste, precision is key.  We want to keep the right ratios for the best safe color no matter if we are mixing a mini 20g batch or a 200g batch.

They’re durable, easy to clean, and will keep your kitchen spoons from being forever scented for etch with essential oils! Once you use them, you'll reach for them again and again.

We carry a wide range of glitter colors, including our show-stopping UV glitter that glows under blacklight. Just sprinkle it over freshly applied henna. It’s safe for the skin, fun to use, and totally addictive. Trust me, your clients will love the extra shimmer!

🧼 Clean-Up Tools: Because Accidents Happen

Henna can be messy—we've all been there! Whether you need to clean a smudged line or remove henna from your forearm (how did it even GET there?), these items come to the rescue:

• Manicure sticks to remove small mistakes in your design.
• Spatulas to scrape off larger areas.
• Alcohol swabs to remove oil from the skin and to stop henna mistakes from staining dark. 
• Paper towels and wet wipes to keep your area clean.

PRO TIP: I cut my paper towels into minis (about 2"x2"). I find it keeps my area cleaner because I keep the mini one in my hand while I henna. This means I'm less likely to use my fingers to wipe my cone tips.

Take a peek at our Helpful Tools collection and treat yourself to something that will make your henna life easier.

Because honestly? You deserve it.
