“Mehandi” is the art of body
decoration by creating Henna tattoos on skin. It is ethnic,
fun and gives gorgeous looks.
Henna’s original application was
for body decoration and many societies in the Middle East and
African regions believed it to be a good omen. Today, this art
has caught fancy of the western world where people are using
Henna for drawing temporary tattoos on various body parts.
Use of Natural Henna on skin is
totally harmless and safe. The main benefit of making Henna
tattoos is that they are temporary and fade away with time.
Hence, it leaves room for experimenting with new designs.
Please keep it in mind that 100%
Natural Henna, upon application on skin, can only give red
tone ranging from orange-red to rich maroon, depending upon
the skin type, method of application followed and the duration
for which the Henna paste is allowed to remain in contact with
skin. The longer the time for which Henna remains in contact
with the skin, the deeper will be the colour obtained.
Natural Henna can give only red
colour shades on skin. It cannot give colours like black,
blue, violet, green, purple, etc. Please beware and do not use
tattoo products that are described as Henna and claim to give
colours like black, blue, violet, green, purple, etc., as they
are not Henna but contain harsh chemicals, which can cause
severe skin allergies.
