I suppose you mean in powder form, Henna is never black so you won`t be able to buy it as a powder. People mix Henna with chemicals to get "black henna" which is very harmful and should not be put on skin. Sometimes people sell Indigo for hair and call it black henna but that is nonsense, you cannot use Indigo all by itself to achieve a black colour. You won`t find black henna powder anywhere, so there`s no need to be worried about that.

Can henna be black without being 'black henna' which is not natural and can scar?

No. Henna stains a reddish-brown color. Henna and an extract from the indigo plant can be used to color hair black... it will not color skin black.There's nothing magical about being "natural". Cobra venom is "natural". Poison Ivy is "natural". However, so-called "black henna" contains ingredients that, natural or not, can cause allergic reactions and scarring.The juice of immature genipapo berries will stain skin bluish-black (a very, very deep blue), if that's what you're really looking for.

What does henna do to your hair?

Henna is a great conditioner for hair, it does dye your hair, so you need to make sure it will be about the colour you`re looking for. You can use henna only or henna mixed with Indigo to achieve the tone you want. Henna alone on light hair can be orangey red on black hair you will get a red "halo" effect. Always test your henna mix on a couple of hairs that you took out of your comb or test it on a small strandd first. Check the web or ask your local henna artist for a henna hair recipe. Depending on your starting colour, you can get almost any tone from a bright red to even black (with Henna and Indigo in a two step process). With natural Henna powder mind you, the stuff you get from beauty suppliers contains little if any Henna at all.

Can you use henna to dye your pubic hairs?

Yes, I have personally used henna to color my pubes, and it works well for me. But---henna works the best when the hair you want to change is fairly light-colored to begin with....In other words, henna won't work very well if your natural pubes are dark brown or black.

Can there be any side effects from a henna tattoo?

Yes, never ever get a "black henna" tattoo. The chemical used to make "black henna" (which isn't actually henna at all) is extremely toxic (I believe it's called PPD). Also, traditional henna paste can cause skin reactions such as dermatitis, depending on the sensitivity of your skin. It's also possible to have allergic reactions to the oils and other ingredients used in the paste. It's best to test a small amount on your skin before having a large area worked on.
