Is shaking hands with women acceptable in Indonesia?

If it's women in general, then the answer would be yes. But there are some Muslim women who would prefer not to shake hands. They will put both of their palms together, place them in front of their chest and give a small nod. It's the same as shaking hands. Muslim women only do this if they want to 'shake hands' with men though, especially if they are not muhrim.


How can you tell black henna from narmal henna?

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.
