Yes it is Cheap, yes it is Ethnic, but no no no this is not a recipe to eat. I love doing these unusual posts here.

Did I ever tell you I am a henna freak? I have been doing it for about 5 years now. And it has become a personal right of passage into the warm season. The call of the henna resounds in me as the weather improves. Why? Less clothes and more skin showing, therefore more canvas material to show off my art. I am not a great artist but I love it and so do my friends as every year a few of them ask for a design.

Now before I go further some of you may be saying: What is she talking about, what is henna? Henna is a plant used to dye skin, hair, fingernails, leather and wool. This shrub is native to Africa, Middle-East, Gulf and Indian sub-continent, and has been used by humans since the Bronze Age. I am sure most of you have seen henna hair dyes at one point in your life at the drug store. But henna is an age old tradition when it comes to marking temporarily the skin, usually used in ceremonies such as marriage. Brides-to-be have henna parties where the bride is adorned with intricate patterns local to the tribe or region where they are from. I once read that after the marriage the bride, who moves into her in-laws home, does not have to participate in the house work as long as there are traces of her henna bridal design.

Reduced into a super fine powder, the henna is then mixed with a few other simple ingredients and is left to mature until the dye is released. When applied the paste will stain your top skin layer. As your skin sheds the design starts to fade. A design will last anywhere from 5 days to 3 weeks. Of course there are tricks to make it last longer and I will share them with you a bit lower. But rest assured it is not permanent.

Although henna paste is widely available in Middle Eastern grocery stores and ethnic decoration stores I find the quality extremely poor. That is why I learned to make my own henna paste. Also some manufacturers add very harmful chemicals to make the stain black. If you get a black stain toss it as it can be very toxic. A natural henna dye should be shades of brown, orange, burgundy, dark cherry or mahogany. I get my henna from Henna Sooq. The quality is exceptional and it was recommended to me by a friend who is a professional henna artist. It is also on this web site that I got my recipe, slightly adapted, and this site is chalk full of amazing advice like which type of henna to use and how long is the dye release time per type of henna. My favorite one is the Jamila Henna. It is the longest one to prepare but it is so worth the wait. Here is my tried and tested recipe with dye release time for Jamila Henna:

How to make a design last longer: exfoliate 24 hours before, do not wet the body part for a good 12 hours after the paste has been removed and most important moisturize twice a day so the dry skin does not flake off.Offering professional henna services for 7 years, Holly is 1 of 6 henna artist in PA who have achieved ICNHA certification with her dedication to all-natural henna.
