| Showing Natural henna tattoos in Luxor
|
it is a challenge indeed to get the women of Upper Egypt to use natural henna tattoos and not the black that they are used to. One successful trick I have found is to wear the natural stain Mehndi and have a fresh supply of henna cones an hand to give as gifts! It works! As a lot of you know there are many dangers attached to using anything in henna to make it stain black.the main ingredient to attain this is a potentially harmful chemicals called PPD. So remember when you have your henna done elect to use natural and don't take a chance.

In defense of the customs in Egypt however, many have used the way of adding black rock to their henna and have no problems. When I warn them about this they were quite surprised and said they have done this a longtime here without any problems. It's hard to break with tradition. Peace
