About Mehndi & Henna

Mehndi is the art of applying Henna (using only natural ingredients ) to the skin as a body art to give you a temporary design.

When the paste first comes off, the design is usually orange, then oxides to a lovely cocoa-brown that lasts about 7 to 10 days, sometimes longer.

The pictures you see here that have black-lined designs are taken with the paste still on the skin. Henna is NEVER black.

I use only natural henna powder (powdered leaves of the plant Lawsonia Inermis) mixed with lemon juice, sugars, and essential oils.
