What is Henna?

Explore the exotic art of henna. Henna is a temporary dye used to create intricate patterns that last on the skin for up to 1-2 weeks. This 100% natural product is plant derived and blending with essential oils.

It has been used for thousands of years to adorn the hands and feet of women for weddings and other auspicious occasions.

Henna dyes hair, skin, and fabric organically, similar to a black tea dye. Henna is extracted from a tree by drying and grinding leaves and stems. The greenish powder, when mixed with an acidic liquid, makes a temporary red, brown, or orange design on a porous surface. People use henna in ritual skin painting, called Mehndi , for birth and marriage celebrations. Western cultures have adopted henna to make temporary tattoos and organic hair dye .

Henna works because the strong pigment, lawsone, is absorbed into material like hair and skin. You mix the powdered henna into a mud, using hot water, lemon juice, vinegar, or other acidic additives. An acidic mixture strengthens the dyeing properties. Then you apply the henna mud to a surface like the palm of your hand, bottom of your feet, or anywhere on your body. Leave the mud on for as long as possible, up to 48 hours. When it dries and crumbles off, the skin will have darkened to auburn, orange, red, or brown.
