Sudani Henna Mehndi in Luxor

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.   

Aswan Wedding Mehndi

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

Henna and the Art of Mehndi

Henna and the Art of Mehndi

The plant Lawsonia Inermis is known as ‘Henna’, that is used to color and condition the hair and put designs on the skin. Henna is a Persian name which is used world wide to describe the plant. The word, ‘Mehndi” is the Hindu word which describes the art of painting designs on the skin with a henna paste. Henna painting is an ancient healing and cosmetic art whereby the dried leaves of the plant are crushed into powder then mixed with liquids and oils that activate the natural dye in henna, and then applied to the skin. Over a 48 hours period after application of henna to skin, it darken’s to it deepest shade of a reddish brown color and will stay on from several days to weeks.
