Here is a guide to designs, timing, and care.

What Is Henna?

Henna, also called mehndi, is a paste made from the dried, crushed leaves of the henna plant. When applied to skin, it leaves a temporary reddish-brown stain that typically lasts one to three weeks. Natural henna is a beautiful, pain-free way to decorate hands, arms, and feet.

Popular Henna Styles

• Traditional Indian: Dense, intricate patterns filling hands and fingers, often with paisleys and peacocks.
• Arabic: Flowing floral vines with bold outlines and open space.
• Modern minimal: Delicate finger designs, mandalas, or bracelet-style patterns.
• Bridal: Highly detailed designs covering hands and feet, often with hidden initials.
• Kids’ designs: Small, simple motifs perfect for birthday parties and cultural events.

When to Book Your Henna

Henna stains darken over 24 to 48 hours after the paste is removed, so book your appointment one to two days before your event. That way, your design reaches its richest color right when you want to show it off.

Tips for a Dark, Long-Lasting Stain

• Start with clean skin and no lotion.
• Leave the paste on for at least four to six hours, longer if possible.
• Keep the area warm; henna develops better with warmth.
• Scrape off dried paste rather than washing it off.
• Avoid water on the design for 12 to 24 hours afterward.
• Apply a natural balm or oil before showering to protect the stain.

Henna for Groups and Events

Henna is a wonderful activity for family gatherings, festival celebrations, and parties. Bring your friends or family for a group appointment and everyone can leave with a unique design. Simple designs take just minutes, while detailed full-hand patterns take longer.

Is Henna Safe?

Natural henna is safe for most people. Avoid so-called “black henna,” which can contain harmful chemical dyes. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, let your artist know before your appointment.
