∙ 8y agoHenna is a cultural tradition practiced by Muslims and Non-Muslims throughout much of the Islamic World and South Asia. In traditional circles, it is typically applied to signify that a festive life-cycle event has taken place, such as a marriage or one of the pre-marriage ceremonies or a coming of age ritual for a woman. Of course, it is also commonly applied to tourists because it "looks cool".

Is henna hair dye culturally accepted for girls in the Arabic culture?

Is henna medieval?
Yes. Henna use on skin can be easily documented in paintings and decorated ceramics back to at least the 1100s CE in Persia. There is also textual evidence of its use on hair, skin, and as a perfume in the Levant back to Biblical times. In the medieval period, it was popular for all three of these uses by many women and some men in all countries around the Mediterranean. It was not limited to Muslims, either- Christians and Jews also used henna extensively. Later, although it was still used on hair, henna use on skin went out of fashion among Christians as intolerance for the other religions grew, and as the northern areas grew colder and henna wouldn't grow well there anymore. I'm uncertain whether the henna plant grew in India before the Mughals (Persians) invaded, but there is no evidence that henna was used on skin by Hindus until around 1600 CE.

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.
