FAQs

What is Henna?
Henna is a flowering plant. The leaves are dried and ground into a fine powder. This powder is mixed with lemon juice, essential oils like tea tree or eucalyptus oil and sugar. This is mixed to a paste. The paste is then filled in a cone and designs are applied on to the skin. 

What does "Mehndi" mean?
The term "Mehndi" is the Indian word for Henna, and it is also the term used to describe the art of applying Henna. It is also used for dying hair and to colour nails.

Are there any side effects when applying Henna?
Henna is regarded to be 100% safe to use on the skin and there are no chemicals added. Traditionally it was used for its medicinal purposes. Allergies are only likely to occur when the fresh natural powder has been mixed with chemicals or synthetic products which may lead to rashes, scars and skin reactions.
