Henna is used to create temporary tattoos mainly to the hands and feet of a woman. Traditionally it was used for its medicinal qualities. It became popular in India because of its cooling effect in the hot Indian summers. The two most popular uses of the henna is for dying hair and making tattoos on different parts of the body.

Let us start with the basic. Henna is made from herbs, meaning it is all natural. The powder is extracted from a henna plant, where the leaves are dried and grounded into a fine powder. This powder should be mixed with water, eucalyptus oil, tea, coffee, and lime and then applied on the body.
You may also hear the term 'Mehndi '. This is the Indian term for Henna, which is used to describe the art of applying henna onto your hands and feet.

People usually choose areas that are visible - the palm, arm, feet, wrist or around the navel. There are different designs and patterns that can be used to draw intricately on a woman's hand. During my wedding, we hired an artist who had various books containing different patterns. Our artist had an impromptu style but there are many templates you can use to apply your design. In order to get the color of mehndi to last a long time, read the 5 steps below.

Because it is a natural dye, the color is beautiful and gives the hair a lustrous look. The color ranges from black to red to brown. Henna has to be mixed in the right proportion with the right ingredients to get the desired color and effect. Henna works by coating the hair strands. It's been said that henna cannot lighten your hair, but, I'd have to disagree. My mom's hair is naturally dark brown, almost black and with the use of henna the color significantly lightens to a faint brown. Henna stops falling hair and itching of the scalp. It also helps dandruff problems.
