The henna plant produces a dye called lawsone that is found in the leaves of the plant. The leaves are harvested, dried, and ground into a fine powder. The powder is mixed with a slightly-acidic liquid (lemon juice, tea, coffee.. there are as many recipes as there are henna artists!) to break down the plant cells and release the dye molecules. Many artists then add essential oils to their mix. Several types of essential oils contain something called monoterpene alcohol that, when mixed with the henna paste before application, actually improves the quality of the final stain.

Whether you are a beginning artist, or an experienced one I think we all hit a point where we feel like all we are doing is reproducing the same designs, either our own or those in design books or that we find online. They might have variations, but they all FEEL the SAME. They might even be excellent quality, but you simply don't want to do them anymore and it feels stagnant.

5000 years in Pakistan, India, Africa and the Middle East. There is some documentation that it is over 9000 years old. Because henna has natural cooling properties, people of the desert, for centuries, have been using henna to cool down their bodies. They make a paste of henna and soak their palms and soles of the feet in it to get an air conditioning affect. They feel its cooling sensation throughout the body for as long as the henna stain remains on their skin. Initially, as the stain faded away, it left patterns on the skin surface which led to ideas to make designs for decorative purposes. In the ancient Egyptian times mummies wore henna designs and it is documented that Cleopatra herself used henna for decorative purposes.

I bet you have bought henna powder from eBay or Amazon or your local Indian grocer, followed one of these random and complicated recipes from the internet and hoped for the best. Maybe you spent hours creating a beautiful design and then the stain turned out a faint pumpkin orange. How disappointing is that! I am sure you are wondering what the "secret ingredient" is, and yes, I am going to share that with you, for free.

Natural henna turns a reddish brown color and usually only stains well on the hands and feet. Black henna turns super black and stains almost every area of the body. Finding a good recipe for natural henna can be very tricky. With our black henna, all you need to do is add purified water (bottled water) or distilled water and you're ready to go. Most of the natural henna kits you buy on-line, at the stores, or in beauty supply houses are difficult to use and give a very faint color. In other words, they don't always get very dark. Most people we have talked to, who bought natural henna kit's, were very disappointed. We've heard comments like, "the natural henna I got in a kit didn't even show up on my skin," and "oh, it was such a pain to use, plus it looked like a birth mark when I put it on." and also, "it kept stopping up the bottle and it was hard to draw with." Our black henna creates a smooth flowing paste that's fast and easy to use. Most importantly, it turns your skin JET BLACK like a real tattoo. Back to top
Everything seemed great, until after I was married, and my new husband and I were venturing out for our first holiday together - our honeymoon. Suddenly it struck me, how would I dress in all of those hand picked beachwear with Mehendi adorning my limbs? And mind you! The color was fantastic when it was done, but six days into the wedding, it had begun to fade and blotch - and it was not the prettiest sight! I knew something had to be done, and my Mehendi problem had to be tackled, so I took to my best friend - Google”. These are some really amazing methods I found, and I tried a few…and they worked! Now, when I look back at the photographs and look for the almost negligent color of henna, I can't help but smile. (Ah! The woes of a bride!) My experience moved me to put together this list for all the brides out there who have Mehendi concerns. I hope these tricks help you as much as they helped me. Read on…
worn by women of all ages. During special occasions such as Moroccan weddings, holidays and circumcisions, women get henna on their hands and feet. It's a temporary design applied to your skin in a brownish paste made from powder. Many women also apply henna to their entire body and/or hair in the hammam once a week. It has a distinguished smell and needs to be left on the skin to dry for several hours to achieve darker, longer lasting results. Some times, black henna is used, but it can be dangerous so stick to the regular henna for safety.
2) Henna is permanent! If you've never used henna on your hair before, it is recommended that you perform a strand test to see what color you will get. To do this, either snip a small bit of hair from a place on your head that's not real noticeable or harvest hair from your hairbrush. Prepare a small amount of henna per the instructions below, and place the hair in the henna for 2 to 4 hours. Rinse the hair off with water and allow to sit for 48 hours. Henna needs time to oxidize (darken), and usually in 48 hours it will show it's final color. No 2 people will end up with the exact same color.
Scientifically speaking, the molecules of the dye bind to proteins in the outer layer of your skin resulting in a reddish-brown color to set in and temporarily remain for as long as your skin takes to wear/exfoliate. This redidish-brown color is believed to bring good luck to those who adorn themselves in it and so it is widely common for brides to decorate their hands and feet before their wedding day, pregnant women will decorate their bellies to bless their unborn children, and many other happy events are used to apply henna to all of those involved.
My rates start at $145 for the first hour, $195 for an hour and a half, or $245 for two hours. Additional fees may apply for events outside my usual service area (within 20 minutes of Bothell, WA), for holidays or peak dates, or for events booked with less than 2 weeks notice. I can do an average of 10-15 smaller henna designs, or 8-10 medium sized henna designs, in one hour.

Normally my beard is a much more vibrant red than my hair, but since I henna'ed my hair the other day (gray hairs, boooo), both the wife and I have noticed that my beard just looks dull in comparison. So, wifey suggested that next time I henna my beard as well. Any suggestions as to how to keep my face from being bright orange?
