What is Henna / Mehndi?
Mehndi is the word used for the beautiful stain left on the skin from the henna paste.

Henna is a plant that produces natural and safe dye from its leaves. The leaves are ground into a paste and applied to the skin. The dye is absorbed into the skin much like a lotion creating a temporary design that fades gradually. Henna Caravan uses only 100% natural red-brown henna enhanced with fragrant oils to achieve elegant and richly colored henna stains.

Henna is NOT black - 'black henna' may have dangerous dyes or chemicals added that can cause permanent scarring or internal damage. Please use only safe, natural red-brown henna.
