Mefix is a self-adhesive fabric tape. It is flexible and conforms well to the body, also contours and allows body movement when in place.

Applying the tape.
- Measure and cut the tape to size. - remove the backing paper and fix on onto the area where the henna is applied.
Removing tape.
Simply carefully peel off the tape or you can apply any oil to loosen it up.
The tape should not be applied to wet henna or henna that has been sprayed with a sealant as this could cause smudging.
