Henna goes far beyond its ability to create temporary
and striking designs on the skin; it is an artistic tool that
unites cultures, inviting people to embrace connection
and cherish their differences. It’s used to celebrate
love, beauty and grace through special occasions,
personal and cultural milestones, or to simply relish its
artistic elegance. Henna’s ability to empower people
through its trade and craft is admirable to say the least
and we aspire to cultivate a brand which magnifies this
notion of community and togetherness through artistic
expression.
What is henna?
Henna has long been used for beautification and
increasing the appeal and worth of the body. As one of
the most popular and safest forms of body arts today,
applying henna is becoming increasingly popular not
only in the Eastern countries but also the Western ones
as well. Everyone now sees the beauty in the delicate
and intricate lines with the impressive reddish-brown
hue.
Henna (also known as mehndi) is a tropical or shrub
called Lawsonia Inermis which has natural dyeing and
conditioning properties. The paste made from the dried
and powdered leaves of the Henna plant is used in
creating intricate ethnic or contemporary designs on
various parts of the body. Though traditionally applied
to the hands and feet of women, where it long played a
significant part in the wedding rituals across cultures,
Henna is now becoming a fashion statement in the
western culture, as a contemporary tattoo.
