What is Henna & Mehndi?
The henna plants leaves, when dried and crushed, are used to create the henna powder we use for henna tattooing. Tannins are the natural dyeing properties that are found in the henna plant and when mixed with a few other natural ingredients and applied it creates a temporary stain on the skin. The traditional Indian art of henna tattooing on the feet, hands and shins is actually called mehndi, essentially mehndi is a name for a style of henna tattooing.
