Henna has been used to decorate the human body since the Bronze Age. In fact, there is mention of Henna dye in Indian courts since around 400 CE. Henna was also used around the world in ancient times, from Rome, to Spain, Morocco and Egypt. The "Night of the Henna" was celebrated by most indigenous peoples in the areas where henna grew naturally, including the Jewish people, Muslims, Hindus, Christians and Zoroastrians (among many others). Henna was regarded as having a blessing, and was applied for luck, joy and beauty. Even today it is considered a traditional part of a brides wedding attire to have Henna or Mehndi applied to the hands, arms and feet. This type of traditional wedding henna art is also called Mehndi, and it uses the natural stain from the henna plant.
Henna dye can be used for many different purposes, including clothing dye, hair stain, makeup and of course, temporary tattoos! Because the henna stain is so natural, it is safe for all ages and skin types!
