The ground henna plant mixed with other oils and natural substances dyes the skin and can be used to make beautiful body designs.  This practice is called henna body art.  Throughout history, humans have used henna in many different ways, and for reasons ranging from the romantic to the spiritual.  The henna plant is indigenous to Northern Africa and the Middle East.  It is cultivated today in Pakistan, Morocco, Iran, Australia, China, England, and France.  The henna plant itself is very similar to a rosebush, yet very musky in scent.  Henna is still harvested by hand.  The henna leaves are used in many applications, but most often for body art.

Some experts maintain that henna body art dates as far back as the Neolithic era.  Most likely, it was first cultivated in South-Central Asia because so many other plants that provide food and/or are used to stain the skin have originated there.  Many ancient cultures make references to henna, such as the Greeks and the Certs, but the best documented uses of henna body art lie with the Egyptians.  They used henna to polish the nails and stain the hands, feet and hair.

Throughout history, the staining of the hands and feet with henna has been used as tool for female bonding.  Women in northern Africa use the henna art to ward off evil spirits, while moroccan women adorn their bellies in their seventh month of pregnancy to ensure health to mother and child.  Indian and Moroccan women use the henna as a symbol of love and devotion for their weddings.  In times of crisis or life-altering events, henna has been and still is being used as a way to bond women together.   The art of body painting signifies personal growth and self-help by showing the individuality of the body for most women.  This is why body painting is used at birth, death, and everything in between to signify transitions.

The use of henna has transcended all religions whether Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian or Pagan.  Women, men, and children or all beliefs use it for the same reasons of adornment, beautification, and empowerment.

Henna is applied to the skin in the form of paste when used for body art.  This paste is applied with a mosquito– a bottle with a very fine tip.  The henna is painted on the skin, and as the henna dries, it begins to dye the skin.

It will take fifteen to thirty minutes for the henna paste to dry initially.  This does not mean that one should remove the henna paste.  In fact, the opposite is true.  One should leave henna paste on the skin as long as possible to ensure that the paste has dyed the skin to its full potential.  The henna paste will cool the skin as it is drying.  This is very normal and often can be mistaken for a burning or itching sensation.  The cooling sensation will stop in about ten minutes; one should leave the paste on and be patient.  After about an hour, the henna will typically flake off on its own.  Patience is the best policy, so if the henna paste has not fallen off on its own, one should leave it on until this occurs.  After the paste has fallen or flaked off, the stain remaining will be a bright orange tone.  The bright orange will eventually turn to a rich reddish-brown in about twenty-four hours.  After such a time, one can shower, wash hands, and go about their daily business without worrying about damaging the henna tattoo.

It is best to keep the area of the skin as moisturized as possible where the body art has been applied because the stain has dyed the first three layers of skin.  The faster these layers go, the faster the tattoo will fade.  Olive Oil is the best moisturizer for the area of the body where the henna has been applied, as olive oil is used to mix the henna paste.  Highly fragranced moisturizers have been known to effect the henna, so one should avoid using scented lotions on the henna.  Moisturize as often as possible, before and after the shower is best.

Chlorine will absolutely remove the henna tattoo.  One should apply a thick layer of vaseline while swimming in the pool.  There is no guarantee that the henna tattoo will survive the chlorine, but this is the best way of protecting it.

Henna body art will last two weeks if given the proper care.

Lawsonia Inermis (henna) is a large shrub or small tree, 2–6 m high. It is smooth and hairless with many spine tipped branchlets. Leaves are also smooth, spear shaped and attached directly at the base of the leaf (1.5–5.0 cm x 0.5–2 cm).The Henna flower petals are egg shaped and red or white with stamens in pairs.

Fruits are small and brownish 4–8 mm in diameter, with 32–49 seeds per fruit.

Lawsonia Inermis is native to regions of AfricaSouth Asia, and Northern Australasia. Henna's indigenous zone is the tropical savannah and tropical arid zone and it produces the best dye content in climates between 35°C and 45°C.
Henna is now commercially grown in India, Morocco, Pakistan, Egypt, Iran, Afghanistan, Libya, Sudan, Somalia, and Yemen. The largest area for henna farming at present is Rajasthan in India which has over 100 processors.

Since the Bronze age henna has been used as a natural dye. Many countries use henna, traditionally for festivals and celebrations. Dating back to 400 CE in the indian court records there is mention of henna as a hair dye. Other ancient records have also been found in Rome, Spain, Syria, Egypt and Morocco where wool is dyed and drumheads are ornamented with henna.

Use of henna for body art has enjoyed a recent renaissance due to improvements in cultivation, processing, and the emigration of people from traditional henna-using regions.

Henna comes in two forms paste and powder . The paste is pre mixed and ready for instant use, whereas the powder has to be mixed at least 4-6 hours before you want to use it. There are more details about this on our Quick facts page

Unfortunately over the past few years henna has been tarnished by a totally different product utilising it popular name this being 'Black Henna' which is not henna at all but a chemical p- phenylenediamine (PPD) it was previously mainly used as a black hair dye but when used directly on the skin can cause dangerous health problems with an estimated 3% to 15% allergic reaction rate. Para-phenylenediamine "black henna" use is widespread, particularly in tourist areas of the world with unscrupulous traders offering it, as it does create a desirable black tattoo.Thankfully now there is a new product on the market that also provides a blue black tattoo but with non of the permanent dangerous side effects this being Jagua.Hopefully this may reduce or eradicate the use of 'black henna' on the market fingers crossed.

I personally love the art of mehndi good for ever changing art for the ever changing fashions. I think it will continue to be successful for many years to come, it is fast becoming a tradition for festivals and celebrations in the western world as well as its homelands.
