Henna Powder
2007-02-26 15:36:03
Henna Powder Henna body art is made by applying henna paste to skin: the lawsone in the paste migrates into the outermost layer of the skin and makes a red-brown stain.Whole, unbroken henna leaves will not stain the skin. Henna will not stain skin until the lawsone molecules are made available (released) from the henna leaf. Fresh henna leaves will stain the skin if they are smashed with a mildly acidic liquid. This will stain skin within moments, but it is difficult to form intricate patterns from coarse crushed leaves. Dried ground, sifted henna leaves are easily worked into a paste that can used to make intricate body art. Commercially available henna powder is made by drying the henna leaves and milling them to powder, then the powder is sifted. This powder is mixed with lemon juice, strong tea, or other mildly acidic liquids. Essential oils with high levels of “terps”, monoterpene alcohols such as tea tree, eucalyptus, cajeput, or lavender will improve skin stain ch...

Henna Stain Colors
2007-02-16 03:27:05
There are 36 stains of henna. Henna colors range from dark brown to beige. Henna artists often want to talk about their henna stain color, and this henna stain chart (see below) helps them to facilitate this discussion. How henna colors differ?

There are also many factors that affect the way henna stains your skin. Some of these factore are: Your skin may be naturally alkaline or acidic. Some parts of your skin take up more dye than other parts. Different hennas have differing amounts of Lawsone.

A little more henna history - Henna for Hair
2007-02-08 03:20:04
I found an interesting free ebook called Henna for Hair and thought that this extract of the ebook might be of interest to you. “During the late Victorian and early Edwardian era, women grew their hair very long, and showed it off in luxurious chignons, rolls, and puffs. Many used henna to keep their hair sleek and thick, and to cover the gray as needed. In 1900, the beauty editor for “Queen”, London’s newspaper for ladies, was surprised at the new fashion for white or pale hair, commenting that gray hair hadn’t been seen on fashionable women in the previous decades. Women had been covering their gray and dying their blonde hair red to auburn with henna. The editor also commented that though hairdressers in Paris and New York claimed they could bleach hair white, it was not done in London, and the process could not be done safely. In the early 1900?s, women in the USA wanted to dye their hair, but henna was a scare and exotic import. They tried plant-ba...

Henna Tattoos the Blog - Henna Art
2007-02-01 03:14:01
My name is Alexei and I am a web designer who specializes in Search Engine Optimization. Recently I have been searching the internet to get a temporary tattoo. The search wasnt very successful, but during my search I came across a type of body art called henna. I did my analysis for the quality of the sites listed and found that most of the sites are not all that professional. For those of you who dont know what Henna is, it is a reddish-orange dyestuff (dye or powder) prepared from the dried and ground leaves of this plant, used as a cosmetic dye and for coloring skin, hair, leather and fabrics. So I decided to dominate search engines with my blog for the keyword henna, hopefully directing people to the right sites. If you are in need of a decent, optimized website about henna that can be easily found in Google, MSN or Yahoo, please contact me. I might be able to put together a great site for you.

Natural Henna
2007-02-01 03:14:01
Natural Henna is a flowering plant, the sole species in the genus Lawsonia in the family Lythraceae. It is native to tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and southern Asia. The shrub is normally between 2 and 6 metres tall. Henna is commercially cultivated in western India, Pakistan, Iran, Yemen, Morocco and Sudan. Though henna has been used for body art and hair dye since the Bronze Age, henna has had a recent renaissance in body art due to improvements in cultivation, processing, and the diasporas of people from traditional henna using regions. Henna has many traditional and commercial uses, the most common being as a dye for hair (henna hair), skin (henna skin) and fingernails (henna nails), a dye and preservative for leather and cloth, and as an anti-fungal. Just recently, when a lot of people became interested in temporary tattoos, henna became popular once again in the western countries for temporary tattoo designs on arms and feet. Natural henna hasnt got much use by it...

History of Henna Mendhi (Mendehi)
2007-02-01 03:14:01
I was searching on what Men dhi is and came across a great site mehendiworld.com here is a quote of what Mendhi is. “The art of Mehendi has existed for centuries. The exact place of its origin is difficult to track because of centuries of people in different cultures moving through the continents and taking their art forms with them and therefore sharing their art with everyone along the way. Some historical evidence suggests that Mendhi started in India while others believe it was introduced to India during the twelfth century A.D. I personally feel that it would be hard to argue the fact that it appeared as an art form in Egypt first. Proof has been found that henna mendhi(Mendehi) was used to stain the fingers and toes of Pharoahs prior to mummification over 5000 years ago when it was also used as a cosmetic and for it’s healing power. The mummification process took 70 days and as the Egyptians were diligent in planning for their deaths and their rebirth in the afterl...
