Our Story

Traditionally, in South Asian households, our moms have insisted on applying a lemon and sugar paste to henna to help darken the stain once it has dried. This combination hydrates the henna paste and helps in enhancing its pigmentation, resulting in a deeper, richer color.

oUR mISSION
Inspired by these traditions and driven by the desire to make high-quality henna accessible, the thelemonsugar was created. Our mission is to simplify the henna application process, making it easier and cleaner for everyone. We provide custom-made stencils that eliminate the need for any artistic skills, allowing you to create beautiful designs effortlessly.
Our Vision
We want to break the stigma that henna is only for special occasions. Growing up in the USA, finding good quality henna cones was always a challenge. You either had to visit a local Indian store or wait for someone to bring them from India. For my fellow henna lovers, we aim to provide an online marketplace that offers everything you need for henna application. With our products, you can make any day special.

Application Instructions:

STENCIL:
1. First remove the plastic cover. Then, peel the stencil and stick it onto your hands.
2. For better placement, you may cut the stencil into individual pieces and arrange them as desired.
3. Once the henna has dried, peel off the stencil.

Important:
Perform a patch test before full application to ensure no allergic reaction.

HENNA:
Store in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight or refrigerate.
1. Clean and dry the skin area where you wish to apply the henna.
2. Remove the pin, squeeze the cone, and perform a patch test. Keep the pin aside to reseal the cone for later use.
3. After successfully completing the patch test, you can freehand your design or use our stencil to fill in the lines.
4. Allow the henna to dry completely for a minimum of 20 minutes. Then, remove the stencil and use our setting spray to hydrate the henna and deepen the pigmentation.
5. Gently scrape off the henna paste - avoid using water to remove it.
6. For best results, avoid or minimize water contact for the next 24 hours to allow the stain to fully develop.

Important:
Test for skin sensitivity before using this product.

SPRAY:
Store in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight or refrigerate.
1. Before application, ensure the henna has started to dry and harden.
2. Do not apply when the henna is still wet, as it may risk smudging and ruining your design.
3. From a distance of 4-5 inches, gently spray onto the dried area. A few sprays should be enough.
4. Allow it to dry completely for a minimum of 20 minutes.
5. For optimal results, reapply the spray every 20 minutes, up to 2-3x.
