Embellish Yourself!
Henna is a GREEN PLANT whose dried leaves are crushed into a powder, made into a paste and applied to the body to safely dye the skin.
The resultant temporary tattoo is AUBURN BROWN*
and will last from a few days to
several weeks, depending on where it is applied to the
body and skin type. The process is in no way painful or
harmful to the skin. In fact, Henna has been used
medicinally for ages for its cooling, soothing and
antibacterial properties.
The art of Mehndi (Henna Art) has a rich history with its traditional and ritualistic use embraced by cultures in India, Africa and the Middle East. For example, a Hindu bridal Henna application will take several hour.
Whatever the use, it should always be
considered a meditation and spiritual practice at some
level…
It is with
this reverence to the art of Mehndi that I practice my
own form of body adornment…
I take pride in my art form, and do every design freehand.
I do not use stencils,
stickers or ink transfers.

* Warnings about “black henna” For the record, true Henna
does not come in black! Natural Henna is
always a green color when applied and DOES NOT
stain the skin black! Sole Shine only uses 100%
natural Henna, which dyes the skin in a range of
brownish-red colors. Please visit these
very informative web sites about the
DANGERS
of “black henna”
Please note that this MDH info states the FDA's stance on how natural Henna may be used, however I have written information directly from the FDA that contradicts this stance. BOTTOM LINE: If it's natural Henna it is safe. If it's black, it has PPD and dangerous!
Thank You!
