What is henna?

Natural Henna is made from the leaves of the henna plant. They are ground up and mixed to a paste with a liquid, be it lemon juice, coffee or tea or bottled water. If the quality is good enough it can be used for body art, if it`s not that high, it can still be used for dyeing nails and hair. The colour on the skin can vary from a reddish brown tone to a cherry black depending on which body part you put it on, how long you left the paste on, how well you follow the aftercare instructions and where the powder was harvested. If you want to determine the resulting colour on your hair, you need to factor in your natural hair colour and look for recipes that will give you the colour you`re looking for. There are plenty of mixing options for henna for hair and a lot of tones can be achieved from red to brown. Even black is possible if you dye with Henna first and then follow up dyeing with Indigo. Sadly you can find a lot of products online that are called henna but really are not, it`s mostly chemicals with little or no henna at all. If you`re interested in buying henna powder or paste, buy from a reputable henna artist in your area and ask them any questions you might have.

How do you make henna darker?

To make henna darker, you can apply a mixture of lemon juice and sugar on the henna design after it has dried, as this helps to enhance the stain. Additionally, leaving the paste on for a longer period, ideally 8-12 hours, allows for a deeper color. Using a higher quality henna powder and ensuring that the paste is fresh and properly mixed can also contribute to a richer, darker stain. Lastly, keeping the area warm during the dye release can intensify the color.


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.

What is henna made of?

Henna is made from the Henna Bush. the leaves are picked, then spread on a large tray and left under the scorching heat of the sun until dried and brown. These leaves are then pounded to break into very small bits and then grounded finely. The henna is usually stored in a dry place ready for each use. A a paste is made from the henna powder, the resulting paste is Henna which is applied by putting into cones for the hands and in a bowl for the hair and feet. The hand made paste is then applied by a skilled henna artist who makes fine intricate designs and patterns on the hands. The design can go up to the wrist or about two inches further up the lower arm. Henna application is especially applied on Eid days and weddings. Before the day of the wedding there is a Henna Party when the bride gets her Henna, along with others family members, applied at her home. The henna is prepared differently for the hair. These days, some women make it at home, then take it to a hair salon where they will apply it as they do a normal hair dye. It is left on for several hours, then washed off. Henna darkens each day after (over three days) to get the full colour. Then eventually it gradually fades naturallly.

Your brown henna paste may have turned black due to several factors, including the addition of other ingredients like indigo, which can darken the color.
