About the Art
The Beauty of Henna
Henna (or mehendi) is, first and foremost, an adornment, a way of beautifying oneself. Henna is traditionally applied on hand and feet during special occasions like engagements, wedding, bridal shower, baby shower. The richly beautiful art of henna knows no boundaries in culture, ethnicity, gender, religious or spiritual beliefs.
Henna (Botanical name: Lawsonia inermis) is a small shrub-like plant, found in tropical climates of Indian sub-continent, Malaysia, Africa, Middle Eastern countries. The leaves and branches produce a red-orange dye known as Lawsone that is responsible for imparting the characteristic reddish brown color when bound with protein molecules of the upper skin layer.
Once the leaves are obtained they are crushed into fine powder, the powder is sifted, and then mixed with a variety of ingredients such as essential oils and water to create a smooth paste. Please visit the FAQ page to learn more about the art, how henna is applied and its after care.
