FAQ

  • Henna is a plant, known scientifically as Lawsonia inermis. This plant grows primarily in North Africa, South Asia, and Northern parts of Australia.

    The tradition of henna has been around for thousands of years. Some of its uses include body art, coloring the hair and nails, and healing remedies.

  • The henna leaves are dried, then ground into a finely sifted powder. The powder is then mixed with sugar and liquids to form a paste.

  • Mehndi is another word for henna. The word "mehndi" or "mehendi" is used more in India and surrounding areas, and "henna" is a term used more in Arab countries.

  • White henna is an adhesive, similar to body paint, so technically it's not henna. It doesn't stain the skin and doesn’t usually stay on as long as traditional henna/mehndi.

  • Black henna is NOT henna. It is filled with dyes, toxic chemicals and preservatives that have caused allergic reactions ranging from a mild rash to permanent burning/scarring, and even death.

    ⛔️ THIS FAKE HENNA SHOULD BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS ⛔️

  • The first thing you can do is ask the henna artist. They should be able to tell you what is in their henna cones. Also, natural henna paste is perishable. Henna paste should be stored in the freezer until time of use; it cannot sit out at room temperature for weeks or months.

    ⚠️ ALWAYS CHECK WITH THE ARTIST IF THEIR HENNA IS NATURAL AND HANDMADE BEFORE GETTING ADORNED!

    ⚠️ PLEASE REMEMBER THAT TAKING SHORTCUTS TO GET AN IMMEDIATE DARK STAIN IS NOT WORTH THE HEALTH RISKS INVOLVED.
