Henna

Henna (also called Mehndi) is the dye prepared from the henna plant. Henna has been used for centuries to dye skin, hair, and fingernails, as well as fabrics including silk, wool, and leather. Henna was an important and widely-traded commodity in the economy of the medieval Mediterranean. It was grown mostly in North Africa (especially Tunis), but there were also henna plantations in Sicily and even in Spain. It was shipped across the Mediterranean, including to Egypt, Greece, France, and southern Italy.
The art of applying henna tattoos is a very old custom and ancient art form. It is difficult to place its exact origin because when people of different cultures move throughout the continents they take their art forms with them, sharing their art with everyone along the way.

Until the art of Mehndi became hot news in 1996, henna was mostly used in the United States as a hair dye. It is widely recognized now as a wonderful way to dye the skin and to achieve the look of a tattoo.
Today Henna is an entertainment activity for guests in all kinds of corporate and private parties, Fairs and Festivals and other special events and celebrations.

Henna Application

Henna design is be aplied to your skin with henna paste (it looks like dark puff-paint, has a mild but pleasant smell and is made from natural ingredients), and queezed out of a tiny cone.
The application is completely pain-free and feels cool and refreshing on the skin.

Paste have to stay on your skin for as long as possible, at least a couple hours, but longer is always better. The paste will flake with friction or dissolve in water, so try to avoid those things as much as possible.

The paste will start to flake and fall off. It's best to let the henna completely fall off on it's own, but to remove the paste, DO NOT wash it off. Instead, pick it off with your fingernail or the edge of a credit card. It is fine to remove the henna paste before going to bed at night, but if you want to try to get an extra-dark stain you can seal and wrap your henna for bedtime.


When first removing the paste, the henna tattoo will be light orange. Within 48 hours, the henna will oxidize and will turn a darker red/brown color See oxidation process below.

After removing the paste, it is recommended you apply Vaseline, Olive oil, or a natural butter/cream to protect your tattoo. Some store-bought moisturizers contain chemicals that can prematurely lighten the stain, so it's best to use something natural.

Try not to get the area wet for at least 6-12 hours after paste removal, although waiting a full 24 hours is best. It is also good to wear gloves when washing dishes if the design is on your hand.
Avoid friction as much as possible. Exfoliation of the skin is what causes henna to fade. Excess washing of skin and friction from clothing will make the stain fade faster.FW
