Why Natural Henna?
Natural henna is just that...natural! It does not have any added dyes or harmful chemicals. A natural henna artist knows how to make their own fresh paste from the best ingredients available; this assures both quality and that there are no added mystery chemicals and/or dyes that would be applied to your body.
Natural henna is a safe, temporary form of body art. It wears off as the skin naturally exfoliates. Henna is a fun and exciting experience that the whole family can enjoy and partake in! Using natural henna encourages positive experiences and memories, without the risk to health and safety attributed to 'black henna' and 'emergency henna'.
When you experience natural henna, you are joining in one of the world's oldest, and continuously used, forms of beautification. You yourself become a part of the ancient, beautiful tradition of this art that has survived millennia!
