What is Henna?

Henna, also known as Mehndi, is a natural paste made from powdered leaves of the Henna plant. It has been used for centuries as a form of body art, originating from ancient cultures in India, Pakistan, and the Middle East. Henna is traditionally applied on various parts of the body, including hands, feet, arms, and even the face, to create intricate and temporary designs.

The Henna Process

At Hair & Make up by Mandy J., our Henna artists follow a meticulous process to ensure a flawless application. The Henna paste is prepared by mixing Henna powder with other natural ingredients, such as lemon juice or tea, to enhance color and longevity. The paste is then carefully applied to the desired areas using cones or brushes. After the application, the paste needs to dry and stay on the skin for several hours to allow the Henna to stain the skin. Once the paste is removed, stunning reddish-brown designs are revealed, which develop further over the next 24 to 48 hours.

Designs and Styles

Henna designs come in a wide range of styles, each with its own uniqueness and symbolism. From intricate floral patterns to geometric shapes, every design tells a story and carries cultural significance. At Hair & Make up by Mandy J., our skilled artists are well-versed in creating various styles, including traditional Indian, Arabic, Moroccan, and contemporary designs. Whether you prefer a simple and elegant design or a bold and intricate one, we can cater to your preferences and create a Henna masterpiece that perfectly matches your style and occasion.

Henna for Special Occasions

Henna is an integral part of many cultural celebrations and special occasions. From weddings and festivals to religious ceremonies, Henna holds a deep cultural significance and is embraced as a symbol of blessings, joy, and good luck. Our team at Hair & Make up by Mandy J. understands the importance of these events and takes great care in ensuring that our Henna designs complement and enhance the overall aesthetics of the occasion. We work closely with our clients, incorporating their vision and personal preferences into the designs, to create memorable and enchanting experiences.

Henna Aftercare

Proper aftercare is crucial to maintain the longevity of your Henna design. After the paste is removed, it is important to avoid contact with water for at least 24 hours. Applying a natural oil or balm on the dried Henna can help intensify the color and protect the design. It's also recommended to keep the Hennaed area away from excessive heat and friction to ensure longevity. Following these aftercare tips will help you enjoy your stunning Henna design for an extended period.
