Henna/ Mehndi Artist

I ONLY USE 100% NATURAL HENNA, NO CHEMICALS, NO ADDITIVES , NO  “BLACK HENNA"

Henna is a temporary body decoration that looks like a tattoo but isn't. It is fast, easy, and painless, and most importantly, it is a beautiful form of natural body decoration. The color lasts for about 4 to7 days, and then slowly fades away.

When used as a temporary tattoo, the henna is applied to the skin and then left to dry. After the tattoo/design is completed, which may take 10 minutes. Let it dry for about 20 minutes. Then it is coated with a solution of lemon juice and sugar. The lemon and sugar tincture can be reapplied during the drying process. The stickiness and acidity of the solution create heat, which allows the satin to deepen in color. After drying for a couple of hours it is flaked off. The color left behind will darken over the next 12 hours. Strong soap and hand-washing shortens the life of a henna stain because it exfoliates your skin. Therefore, after getting mehndi applied, do not wash your skin for at least 3 hours, and avoid using any harsh antibacterial soaps to keep henna color safe for longer period.

Henna, also known as Mehndi, is a small shrub called "haw Sonia inermis" found inIran, India, Pakistan, Egypt, and Northern Africa. It is known for its medicinal values. According to ancient Sanskrit literature, henna is called 'keshya' and 'medhya'. It means, that it is a very good conditioner for hair and also helps in improving the intellectual skills, It is an effective remedy for skin diseases, eye-problems and to some extent leprosy. Another important property of henna is its attractive red color, which is due to the presence of coloring pigments in its leaves. The powder is prepared by grinding the leaves and twigs.
