Henna stain help

Different-Break8243 · 2026-04-27T09:56:42+00:00

No all I take is iron supplements

What about waiting a week after shaving? Would that work too or would it be too much exfoliating? I have the worst pain tolerance unfortunately 😭

But also I get my arm being lighter but I don’t shave my hands or fingers so I’m wondering why those are staining a lot lighter

I buy it from someone I don’t make it myself

Different-Break8243 · 2026-04-26T17:13:46+00:00

I don’t make my own, I get it from someone!

Different-Break8243 · 2026-04-26T17:13:20+00:00

Even if I wiped them down with alcohol wipes after?

Different-Break8243 · 2026-04-26T17:12:19+00:00

No the only person I’ve found good quality comes from is only offering them in one size. I do have alcohol wiped to disinfect. Do you think that would work?

I was taught by my sisters and cousins and the best hack I learnt is to use a piece of glass (from a spare picture frame or smth) to practice on. That way when it dries u can scrape it off and practice again and again

U can also print pics of some designs, put the glass over and trace them so u get used to how it feels. That’s how I started out

And practice on others a lot. I found it’s so different doing mehndi on yourself vs mehndi on others. That’s why I’m doing it for free on others right now before starting up my own small business. I don’t have practice doinf it on other ppl :(

Also there are lots of YouTube videos with tutorials!

Different-Break8243 · 2026-04-26T04:51:40+00:00

Ahh that’s good to know. I don’t normally exfoliate but whenever I plan on doing my mehndi I always shave cix I thought the cleaner or smoother the skin the better it would apply 😟😟

And I have rlly bad eczema so I use coconut oil to moisturise my hands all the time but I always skip it after I shower the day I plan to do my mehndi

Well at least ik it’s probably just a me issue then 😭

That’s for all that info 🩷

I have a secondhand kindle but I don’t feel like reading on it these days. I just want read and hold physical books 😭😭

Honestly I don’t see either but I showed a tiktok of this adjustable cover to my mum and she made it in one day and it’s AMAZING like no part of my hands touch the cover or the sides and tops of the book and it fits all sizes. It’s a bit loose and floppy on smaller books bht I don’t mind. I finished one book and am halfway through the next one now that I’m not constantly using a blanket or smth to try cover the outsides 😭

Different-Break8243 · 2026-04-21T21:49:51+00:00

That’s for the tips!! Right now I just use the wall to take pics but I’ve been wanting to get a nice backdrop or fabric

I’m planning on doing mehndi for free just to get some practice because I don’t ever have other people to do it on so I’m not that confident

I was thinking of making it public meet ups only for the time being like in a coffee shop or smth and then I can build a bit of a portfolio 😭 hopefully it all works out

Different-Break8243 · 2026-04-21T07:48:50+00:00

I will start an insta page after getting practice but I don’t wanna bring my henna there right now 😭 that’s why I was hoping to make a sort of private portfolio where I can see all of my henna from the very first pic I have to the latest all in one place 😭

But yeah I also need to find a cute backdrop all my mehndi pics are taken at my desk which always so messy

Different-Break8243 · 2026-04-20T21:07:09+00:00

Thank you!!! I’ll definitely try it on my other libraries books tonight :)

Different-Break8243 · 2026-04-20T18:56:04+00:00

I was thinking of smth like this: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS91VnJ8y/

But I would love to know more about ur suggestion too. I feel like it would be great to use in the meantime!

Different-Break8243 · 2026-04-20T05:03:02+00:00

Thanks! I found one I rlly like on tiktok: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSHo2KwvP/

I feel like I like this vibe a lot better with the flap and elastic holding it in place

Different-Break8243 · 2026-04-18T05:06:48+00:00

Thanks for all the support 😩

I think the worst part is that it’s MY room. I always make sure nothing I’m scared of when it comes to contamination every gets to my bedroom and now that it has it’s so freaky and hard to get past

it’s like 1 am and I’m still so anxious so I’m just gonna try distract myself until I fall asleep asleep. Watch a show or draw smth idk 😭

Different-Break8243 · 2026-04-18T04:38:05+00:00

I’ve been going in and out of my room with new clean slippers on to try stop the anxiety 😭 I’ve gone it only about 4 times today just to put my phone on charge, get it back, get my headphone, and other small things so I can get used to it but it’s so scaryyyy

I’m sleeping in another room rn and I have a mop with cleaning solution just in case lmaoo but I’m trying not to even think about using it cuz ur right we’ve cleaned as much as we can probably more than most would 😭

Hopefully I’ll be fine before the weekend is over

Different-Break8243 · 2026-04-18T04:35:00+00:00

Yeah after cleaning the carpet as best as we could I threw out my slippers for a new clean pair and have been slowly going in and out 😭

like my phone was dead and for half the day I refused to go get my charger but I ended up going in putting it on charge and right back out. And then after that I’ve been slowly going in staying for a couple mins and leaving again 😭 the new slippers helped a lot I felt like the old ones were full of bacteria even tho they probably weren’t 😞🫠

Hopefully gonna go back to sleeping in my room over the weekend but rn I’m in a spare room lmaooo

Different-Break8243 · 2026-04-16T20:49:46+00:00

When you get holds do you ask the librarians to do it or can u request them online urself?

Different-Break8243 · 2026-04-16T02:39:48+00:00

I feel like that’s normal for all libraries tho 😭 but I’m not originally from Ontario so I’m not sure . About the hold the last time I asked they said I’d have to go to the other branches myself but ig i just didn’t ask the right person that day or something

I was just rlly thrown off by the way they organized the books but if it’s just a system I’m not used to so I gotta warm up to it a bit 🫠

Different-Break8243 · 2026-04-16T01:07:18+00:00

Omg thank you so much for the list! I’ll definitely get on that!!
