Hengua is a mix between henna and Jagua. Briana has discovered that just henna alone wont stain as dark and this is why she has deciced to make the switch. Hengua stain turns out a dark brown and lasts 1-3 weeks.
Jagua:
Jagua is an Amazonian berry that stains a dark blue and lasts 1-4 weeks. Some people may have a reaction and it is advised to test on skin prior to appointment if you have sensitive skin. Avoid direct hot sun and exposure to very hot water while design is on skin.
