"Had the best night with some of my oldest friends last night. Feel so blessed to have a foundation of friendships that will bond us for the rest of our lives. The way we can all sit around and talk like the clock's been turned back 10 years is the most beautiful and grounding feeling. It's so important to be with the families that raised you and the friends that were raised with yours. So much love in my heart this holiday season !!!!!"

Although it may seem harmless or you many not "see" any reaction to a certain henna, that doesn't mean it isn't harmful.
So how do you know which henna is safe to use?
1. Is it handmade by a reputable henna artist?
2. Does it smell divine or does it smell bad?
3. Is it wrapped in gold or silver foil wrapping?
Many people have started using, what is known as, black henna to achieve a even darker or "black" stain. This henna is extremely dangerous! It contains chemicals such as PPD (paraphenylenediamine) which can cause painful burns and permanent scars.

PPD is typically used in hair dye and is not safe to use on the skin. Unfortunately the same goes for colored or commercial henna cones from India or Pakistan.
All natural henna has a shelf life of a few days to a week max. If your artist is using henna cones bought from
Please be sure to do your research before you hire a henna artist. Ask about what they use in their recipe, do they make it themselves or do they buy it from a reputable source? Look for good reviews.
